Egypt: I am amazed, can anyone explain to me how that could happen Inside the city?

Nothing is controlled. Berberic attitude man !

man it's not in the city, it's on the ring road "da2ery". The problem with the da2ery is the following:

1) late at night it's always empty, so you get tempted to drive at high speeds coz it's practically a highway.

2) As everywhere else in Egypt, a lotta the drivers are high on Hash or alcohol, so most of em are fuc*ed up bad.

3) The da2ery was built crossing slums and houses. That sometimes forces the residents of these slums to stand on its sidelines waiting for public transportation which was not in any way the plan when they built it. It's practically a highway, and people should not be standing or walking or crossing there at all.

Put all those together and they spell death trap.

La 7awl wala koat ella be Allah...11 were killed?!....I have to agree with Ahmed on that one, 18 years old is not a child wel daleel 3ala keda you get your driver's license by the age of 18 which holds him responsible for such a tragic accident but then again like you said it's not the boy to be entirely blamed, it's elkoosa that allowed him to drive aslan to be blamed wel ahl we kol 7aga 3'alat fel balad...we ba3dein adena blamed kol 7aga we bardo mafeesh 7aga 7etet7al, I mean hoa momken kam bany2dam lazem yemoot abl ma 7ad yet7arak?...we do have these horrible accidents here in Alex we kolaha besabab the speeding & the kids that are driving bas there's a major role played by the pedestrians which is crossing the corniche street ka2nohom bey3ado share3 bet-hom & that's why elly beymoot 3al ba7r maloosh fedia we 7a2o raye7 raye7 3ashan hoa farat feeh men el awel by not using the subway.

you know what ? around each 2-3 days I pass by an accident while going n coming back from work . I saw crashed cars , injured people , blood on the road . This road is known for accidents and no one of the people who should be responsible tried to change anything !

@ EP : ok , what u say make sense bas lma yb2a al nas ele 3yza t3dy tla2y mkan t3dy menno we byseboh yb2a lek al kalam bas 3'er kda la2

@Zoser: We are becoming the wild west O.o

hi I am an Egyptian. Here in egypt, it is very easy to get a driving license, I got mine, then when I went to live in London, I had to redo the test several times. Some policemen are very reluctant to help, I know, crazy right? On my street, there is a very sharp turn, I hear crashes everyday.

honestly are u seriously surprised?

how did he get his licence? bitta cash and hes got it all under his control

like i mean there is no power in masr that goes for a good cause. nothing i see the govt doing for its people...its like there two separate things...where are the health promotions, proper road rules and regulations and control is there to prevent such things?

sadly there isnt or else the death rate would not be this high

@ Ahmed: 18 yrs old = child.

Until 21, you are a child. Sorry if truth hurts :)
