No one respects the traffic laws in lebanon

Dear sirs,

I'm a 29 years old biker, I don't ride without my helmet and totally respect the traffic signs. Today while going to my parent's place for "sha3nine" at 8h30am a navy blue BMW with 4 numbers plate (8, 5, 2 and 3 starting with 8 sign G) stops suddenly to  make an unsafe u turn without flashing in the middle of ajaltoun highway to park in front of the pastry store where it's not allowed, my reflex was pushing the breaks ending by flipping the bike over me, GOD saved me there was no cars behind! Injured my knee and arm. The car that caused the accident continued and parked in front of the pastry like nothing happened! Egyptian guys from the store next to the pastry shop ran to help me screaming that She's stupid! SHE turned out a 60 years old lady when I confronted her she started saying that It's my fault and she did nothing wrong! Well legally I don't think that I can do much but an old friend died the exact same way few years ago, god saved me this time and I decided not to ride anymore because no one respects the traffic laws in lebanon however I think I must do something about this because this old lady shouldn't have a driving license and she will kill someone. I would really appreciate your help starting an awareness about old drivers who violate traffic laws by investigating and publishing this accident.
Thank you.
Regards, Julio Khater.

Very true the thing is that traffic laws are so poorly enforced that people think they can get away with almost anything nowadays. l7amdella 3al saleme btw.

Dear Julio,

First, thank God that you did not killed.  I am an American- Lebanese who lived here for a long time and never stopped returning throughout the war period.  At times was forced to drive crazy or be run off the road ! But never made illegal turns or created my own parking solution!

 The Lebanese have always been attracted to speed and fast cars.  In the past, road rallies were very popular.  Unfortunately, so much has changed and too many people lack or refuse to respect laws of any kind, driving laws in particular.  It is puzzling why so many drivers are ignorant intentionally or selfish or just plain stupid and careless on the road.  I cannot understand it?  when they visit the western world they abide by the rules and if they do not.... end up fined or jailed!

Everyone complains and they all feel terrorized by the hazards of driving here. Yet no one has a solution. No one knows why this situation exists. We all have theories. I have tried to rationalize it with multiple excuses which are useless efforts on my part.  Simply, new traffic rules need to be implemented and enforced. (good luck with this happening in my lifetime-:). Quite a hard sell when most ignore the authorities and the police have no power or respect  from the drivers.

I honestly believe that the style of driving that so many Lebanese are so proud of  has been a deterent for Lebanon regaining its "place to visit status".  Beautiful beaches and great skiiing are not enough. Citizens need to feel safe to go out  on the road! as a driver or a passenger..

  As a grandmother, a skillful driver who got her license here in 1969, I refuse to bring some of my grandchildren for a visit. How can I ressure my daughter that her children will not be killed riding around on these roads with the current dangerous road behavior? My being a safe driver does not gurarantee their safety.  So sad that these children will not learn their heritage or the beauty of this country.

Well keep the faith that it will change and one day some influential leader will at least try to change things.  You as a young man can be a peaceful acitivist for" new  traffic laws" or at leaset the implementation of the current laws".. Just maybe there are other young drivers who agree with you.

 Good luck,  Patricia
