Did you know someone who died in a car accident?

You would think that wearing a seat belt while driving is NOT important. Well think again. I immediately put my seat belt one when I get in a car, and thankfully I did so or I would smashed my brains and jaw while being in the passenger's seat and the accident happened in a parking!

Kunhadi's continuous campaign for road safety (such as the latest found on our billboards about the importance of wearing a seat belt) is to respect and to carefully watch and understand. Their pain is big, and they're trying to prevent other parents from feeling the same.

By the way, check Kunhadi's website, it is nicely done and full of helpful information.

And don't leave this post before you watch this video, truly amazing.

Fast but Cautious, with Abdo Feghaly & Yasa

Even though the event will take place in half an hour in ESIB campus Mar Roukoz, I still think it's important to mention it here. It is a great endeavor done by the infamous Abdo Feghali, who won several rallies, and also by YASA. Today Abdo Feghali will talk about his experience and the importance of responsible driving.

And to make all those speed enthusiasts happy, he will perform a breath-taking drifting show.

Remember this event is by YASA, so it is there to discourage reckless driving and irresponsible speeding.

Note that all car racers tell us that their cars are especially equipped for speeding and drifting, their car is better handled than our own modest cars, so let us not try to attempt the same thing in our own cars.

Can you name one person who doesn't know at least one other person that died in a car accident?

Drive safely.

Arab Traffic Week

Drive carefully people!!

Number of Car accidents, the highest yet

It has been recorded that 2007 has witnessed the biggest number of car accidents yet. 830 casualties and more than 10000 injured according to YASA.

I bet that every Lebanese person knows at least one person who died in a car accident. Moreover I know for a fact that driving in Lebanese is getting worse, dangerously faster and without concentration or forseeing.

Hope more people will join me on this request:
1- Put the seatbelt on, and tell the riders with you to put it as well
2- Don't drive faster than what the sign requires
3- Don't do any "betweens", if necessary make sure there is a long distance between you and the one you want to pass
4- Make a full stop on cross-roads
5- Slow down when it rains
6- Leave a distance between you and the car in front of you
