DI's right!

By international standards, a blinking orange traffic light means you can pass through carefully, following the same rules as if there were no traffic lights: "priority to the right" (to the left in countries where people drive the wrong side of the road)!

So if people want to be morons and drive through it too fast or careless, then it's their fault!

I think it is all because Hizballa have weapons and GMA signed a MoU with them.

Once Hizballa is disarmed, and GMA breaks up with them, I am sure the Lebanese will stop breaking the law and become cute little law abiding civilised citizens!

Lebanese break the law (and the rules of grammar), because they've lived in farm for a country, where laws are not applied and the whole administration is corrupt!

It will all happen when theirs appropriate law enforcement in Lebanon.

We can make things change, just by making sure we do stop at ALL the red lights, regardless of the 7mar who is yelling in the car behind us....
Let's start doing this from tomorrow morning...
