Kenyans in US explain why most of them don’t memorize their car plate numbers

Ever wondered why most Kenyans who own cars in US do not know their plate numbers off-head yet when they were back home they knew their plate numbers like the back of their hands?? What changed?

Here is what some had to say about that:

• Sera Lee

  Kenya you have one car for years.America people have more than one car and change cars very often.Also your insurance has all that data .You can access any time

  In the US cars don’t define your status. It’s ‘just’ a means of transportation. Unless ni Bentley

  Car is not a big deal here. Na wizi wa gari hapa si kama home. At home your car is like your child. Lazima ujue jina yake akipotea au akikidnapiwa!

  But how many people do you know especially in Atlanta that owned cars before they came to the US? Not many secondly unlike the US in Kenya the plate can tell you how new the Secondhand car is, which is Abit confusing because a Brand-new car 2020 from Toyota Kenya today comes out with KDB and a fresh 2015 import also comes with KDB so Ive never understood why people are obsessed with plates in Kenya.

    Dennis Mati this is not true. Maybe to some but hopefully not. Nowadays alot of people like traveling via mat than personal cars.

  I still remember my dad’s first car KGE 315, mine KNN 579 and even Snr Chief Magugu’s Landrover’s KAG 110 (nicknamed Kagīīo) to date but here…I’ve saved mine in my phone’s gallery.
