In Mpondwe, near the border of the Democratic Republic of Congo, a Ugandan vehicle owned by a physically disabled person, is tax-free. So some people got this bright idea of overloading the cart - with the disabled looking like a prop.

All over Uganda, transportation is difficult and I understand that road conditions discourage businessmen from going into the transport business. Bicycles or motorcycles with sidecars are not used because most roads are narrow. I'd say 1 out of 5 automobiles that runs in Gulu has a cracked windshield -

not caused by stone-throwers but by flying gravel from roads under construction. Modern car repair shops and expert mechanics are still works-in-progress. There is no dearth of car washes here as seemingly every ditch is a car wash. If one wants a cleaner wash, then a push-mobile car wash is available. Most cars have air conditioning, but drivers turn it on only when the road is dusty and windows have to be closed. It's the high cost of fuel that turns-off the air conditioning.
