Road Safety and Activism

finkployd engages in some laudable citizen activism against the traffic and road safety violators in Lebanon:
 

Road safety is, sadly, an all too real life and death matter in Lebanon, via Tajaddod-Youth:


The 7th of September 2010 was a black day on Lebanese roads. Eight people were killed, more than 20 injurred. It is more than time to put an end to this massacre, which has claimed more lives than all bombings and terror attacks since 2005.

Sporadic announcements from public authorities, whose translation into acts only lasts for a couple of weeks before being ignored, are no longer enough. It is only through a demonstrated, sustainable and consistent commitment to law enforcement by the Ministry of the Interior, the Internal Security Forces and all authorities responsible for road maintenance, that the number of casualties on our roads would be decreased.

The time is not for press conferences. The time is for action!
