Motoring Mayhem in Moshi!

Had a little traffic problem on the way to the office today? Spare a thought, and a PRAYER, for Allan's latest automobile adventure in Africa. Last week, a bus ran into the side of Allan as he drove through Moshi and refused to stop. Allan, shaken and anxious, rushed out of his car, and ran alongside the moving bus , 'encouraging' the driver to stop and exchange insurance details. Failing with this negotiation strategy, Allan then jumped, '007' style, onto the side of the moving bus, motivated obviously by his concern to maintain his 100% 'no claims' bonus. Perhaps, he had an appropriate verse to share with the impatient driver? However the bus driver, failed to respond positively to Allans 'outreach', refused to stop and landed him a solid right hook in the eye. 'Mr Bond' hung on and would not be dislodged from the side of the bus determined to confront the driver with his misdemeanour. Eventually, the driver realised the determined Scots missionary meant business and was not going to be shaken off, stopped the bus and ran off into the crowd. AFRICA!
The Kingston Bridge at 5pm doesn't seem quite so bad after all!
On the serious side, Allan has a colourful black eye and 4 stitches in his hand as a result of this incident.
Don't forget to PRAY today for Allan & Jacqui! Travelling in Tanzania does carry considerable additional risks. Allan will probably have as much problems getting the incident satisfactorily resolved with the police and owners of the bus as he did getting the driver to stop.
Watch this space for the final outcome of this story.
