Partying on the highway

I was on my way to Beirut on Sunday when I saw these guys literally having a party on the highway all the way from Halat to Jounieh!

Partying on the highway
Everyone in the car was standing, including the driver…

Partying on the highway 1
… since he can drive with his feet!

Partying on the highway 2
They kept exchanging CD’s with the Picanto on the left.

Partying on the highway 3
“the party don’t start until I walk in” more wazawiz are here!

Partying on the highway 4
Surprisingly (or not), there were several policemen on the road and none of them bothered to stop that car!

That’s definitely taking “wazwaza” to a whole new level!

    Hahahaha. Oh my, that’s awful. And then if they get into a car accident, it will be a tragedy for the person who hit them. As if they weren’t doing anything particularly weird and this jerk comes and hits them.

    Driving in Lebanon never ceases to amaze me, in a bad way.

    This is not wazwaza, this is “bala-mokhness”.
    Why didn’t the policeman stop them? Because I doubt he knows of a rule that was being broken by them. Khalli ykazdir 3al moto

    It’s disgusting!!!
    lebanon has one the highest rates of death by accidents in the world per population.
    and if they were to be in an accident, lebanese would say crap like “heik Allah baddou”…!!!!

    I’m glad u didn’t blur the number plates on the bmw, but too bad, there’s no “Anonymous tipping” in lebanon police website!!

    This is fucked up.
    The “driver” is an irresponsible asshole.
    You wanna endanger ur own life. That’s fine. But don’t endanger other people’s lives.

    What if I told u guys i just ran the plate’s number… This car is owned by a woman, so my guess is she should be immediately contacted before she wakes up one day with her kid’s brain on the Dbaye Highway!
    I’m still thinking about posting the info, but I guess it’s a bit extreme… But someone should seriously take matters in his own hands since our lovely police force is careless!

    hahahaha la2 walaw!i just saw this post it’s hilarious and very unfortunate in the same time, la2 fi te3tir :p

    It’s not their fault it’s the “system’s”, they get nothing for being total jackasses but someone driving past these guys at 90kph instead of 80kph would be fined for “speeding”…. The funny thing is that in Lebanon the solution for everything is an unbelievably high number of speed bumps and RIDICULOUS speed limitations. Even associations should start to understand that it is not how fast you go as a number, it’s more how you drive as a whole, speed being only but one factor. Most people here get out of parking lots without looking both ways, never use their indicators, take off the side of the road without looking in their mirrors, don’t turn on their dipped lights when it’s raining, use blinding rear foglights in the summer, don’t change their tires, drive with their high beams at night, text their phones or fix their makeup/hair behind the wheel, cut other drivers’ paths, overtake on the wrong side, drive too slowly on the fast lane or too agressively on narrow back streets, accelerate while going downhill and brake while going uphill (it should be the other way around), drive on two lanes simultaneously etc…. and now we’ve got these assholes being the champions of it all! I am not going to talk about the state of the road itself… anyway IT’S ALL WRONG AND NEEDS REDOING FROM SCRATCH… Speed itself is not the main cause of accidents in Lebanon, ignorant irresponsible inconsiderate stupid morons are… and there’s waaaaaaaay too many of them in our lovely country.
