On East African roads, God protects. Sometimes.

My time in East Africa has introduced me to some of the most hair-raising driving that I have ever come across. And that says something on a continent where they pride themselves on making up the rules as they go along - usually at breakneck speed... on the wrong side of the road... with a man hanging out the side door... and animals on the roof.

I have a near miss almost every day, often from oncoming vehicles who insist that I bail out into a ditch rather than them give up overtaking the line of trucks on their side of the road.

But sometimes the call signs 'God protects' and 'Insha'allah' displayed on the windscreen count for little when you've used up your nine lives.

Here are two crashes that happened just before I reached them. One driver was taken to hospital, the other was killed with many passengers injured.
