Driving In Lebanon

[Miss O.]

Ok rumor has it that driving there is like being in a horror movie, and i suppose as being a passenger in the car it did feel like that sometimes. lol

Well i've been driving in the u.s. for the past two years and knock on wood nothing bad happened. So of course i plan to go drive in lebanon. What i need from you guys is advice lol.

of course my parents keep saying no, but what makes it all so nice is ill be in lebanon and they won't be

Is it honestly that bad? ive never been in a car accident there so do we just over exaggerate?


experiences and advice would be nice thanks

(don't make me regret asking :P)

well, drive fast but slowly (do not accelerate), always open eyes, use the mirrors some lebanese forget that they have mirrors:P, use the flasher:P, cross the red light, dont stop, or else btesma3e 100 zammour warake . always get ready to push the brakes, and metel kel lebnene, the day u learn driving, is the day u start shitting the other drivers.. basically long story short, dont drink n drive,

tamanitni bas wooooooooooow

well about the flasher ....ive learned with lebanese they dont put on the flasher to the right or left according to the way theyre going. as long as one is one pfff they turn. ye3ni the left one will be on but they turn right ehh shou fiya

and the red light...now of course i can get used to crossing them
but can i get used to stopping again when i come back?lol

and another thing they love to drive on the line not next to it WHY?

oh boy nchallah kheir

well my only advise is:
" the only direction that cars doesnt come is from the ground"

i think this is enough to describe the situation

driving in lebanon

Actually driving in Lebanon can take on the proportions of a nightmare

Although road conditions are improving, people still ignore red lights and stop signs, one-way streets.... kal 3ade bs ma tense lot lot lot of traffic

btw the way of driving ba3da the same one hand on the guidon! one hand greeting, one ear on cell phone, one ear listening to loud music, foot on accelerator, eyes on female/male , conversation with someone in next car:

Welcome to Lebanon!
