le comble is that we arrived at a cross road where another daraki was standing am bi machi el seir and the same car who was infrnt of me now stoped and the 2 guys were talking and laughing with the daraki and when the trafic light turned to green they kept the conversation going as if ma fi hadan warahon le comble enno alla3o and the daraki was waving bye bye w alla ma3kon he did not even notice the 2 men did not have the seatbealt on . if it was a normal person like you and me kenna akalneha zabet ad rasna !

i know that darak break the ruless all the time
also employing over 10000 sa3doun supporters in darak over night just because they are form his sect will not help matters.

trust me these people have deep seated anger to other people and will behave like crudes...
i am with baroud initiative all the way, if he forces people to put seat belts that is a great accomplisments, i hope they keep the pressure and especially on the highway since some people drive like mad max there.
i have seen many of friends and people i know die unnecessarily or be crippled just because they did not have a seat belt.
despite all the excess force and implmentation, we need the pressure to be kept.
only it would be better if we can just send those 10000 goons back or replace them by better trained and less politicized ones

Some cars won't hesitate to go to the left ( knowing its a 2 way road ) to avoid a hole and there was a huge uncovered hole ( i think it was one of the old big sewer traps without the cover on it ) but i think that was closed.
So ya .. if you're going to Choueyfat, drive really really carefully ^^

Well it finally happened after endless passing on that road i was doomed to fall in one of the holes :< No lighting , and nothing to prevent you from seeing it. Ended up destroying my wheel and made me miss my meeting ( well football match :p )

[sarcasm] Good to see the authorities are working on fixing month old problems [/sarcasm]

Even in cities in the west you see police cars flashing their lights sometimes only at intersections to pass without stopping, there is no way you can stop abuse by people who have the power to abuse it, however you can control it if you act, if you really see an ISF car breaking the law, take its plate number and write to Baroud telling him what happened, i am sure the man will take action against it, if not at least investigate the story, and ISF abusers will be scared, when the man is ready to issue tickets to army officers for breaking the law, it means he's dedicated and not scared of anyone when he says nobody is above the law.

After all the law comes from the people, lawmakers are elected by the people and write the laws, then the executive branch comes and enforces the laws, if citizens do not know who to vote for and still vote for the corrupt, alla ydall yebliyyon fiyyon.
When Aoun says that none of the deputies if the current majority should be back in the parliament, it is not because he has a grudge against them, it is because it is right, because if you get more corrupt MPs the country will not move on.

hah it's about time... but somehow i feel like there's no sense in going that since.. c'mon.. we all know that many aren't gonna obey the Lights(unless there's cops around).. lol in the Main Intersection lights(near Nejmeh). at night.. the lights are always Yellow and it's always a "EVERYMAN FOR HIMSELF" situation at night xD

it's the drivers that are STUPID, blinking orange means slow down and allow access for priority
