According to the latest figures published by the Interior Ministry in Libya, there were 233 accidents recorded in Libya from 9th to 15th May 2009.
It resulted in 19 deaths and 107 serious injuries. The Interior Ministry’s sources attributed the cause of the accidents to speeding on long and wide roads, the lack of respect for signals and the rules of traffic, and the use of mobile phones and non-use of the safety belt during driving.
Do you believe it? 19 deaths in just, in how many days, 6 or 7 days, well, it’s very hard to imagine. I am gobsmacked to read the article which was published on Oea Newspaper’s website. I seriously do not know where are the Libyans driving to, most properly to the worst destination, I mean death.
I daily either hear or watch more and more of accidents taking place in every corner of Libya, the question is what is happening in there?
Is it the roads? The cars? The drivers? The non-existence traffic laws? Some blame the roads, some blame the cars, more blame the drivers especially the younger ones. I simply do not know who to blame.
Many questions but no answers or rather no solutions
