Default Re: Driving In Lebanon

It could be called everything but certainly not driving.
Signs and laws are only prestige and extras.
You can never be good to anyone because byerkabo 3a dahrak.
99% of Lebanese don't use the seat belt 2al bideyi2 w they're not used to it and finish it by if god wants to take us he won't wait the seat belt.
And some seat belt "periods" check comes, some people are ready for it. They got shirts with something like a seat belt attached to it, hek they fool the police and score 1-0.
Let alone 2 people blocking the whole traffic because they missed each others and take few minutes to chat, they're in a free country elak ma3na?
Or someone bado yjib shaghle 3al sari3, he stops the car in the middle of the road and leave, "3al sari3" in Lebanon is never less than 10 minutes.
Not to mention road status, we're way into art, we have multicolored roads in Lebanon ups and downs no lighting on main streets and construction objects on the roads with no signs or light on it.
They only remember to fix them every 4 years with worst and cheapest quality ever known.
Policemen on the roads are players, trying to chase chicks here and there by opening the buttons of their uniform and show their chest's hair.

My friend is German-Lebanese, he rented a car 3ala asses 2 weeks.
10 minutes later he called the company to come take the car because he had no enough skills to drive in the jungle.

I am going to buy a car pretty soon and i am really worried how i am going to do it, i am a person who likes to respect laws, but is it really possible to drive with such mentality?
