I got a very nice surprise yesterday on my way back home yesterday, a new pothole in the middle of the Dora highway that ruined my right front and right rear tires. I got pissed for a few seconds but then smiled when I saw a lot of cars parked on the side of the highway having ruined their tires as well. There were 10 cars behind me and new ones were coming in every 10-15 minutes.
The tires were completely ruined and are beyond repair so I called my insurance’s tow truck and had the car moved to the garage. Of course I started thinking on how to report this to the ministry and have them pay for a pair of new tires but I quickly snapped out of it and remembered this is Lebanon we are talking about.
The positive side of this story is that I have two brand new Michelin tires to burn in case of a protest. I bet Meshkal’s director Dania Bdeir didn’t think this could be a valid reason to burn tires in Lebanon lol!
PS: I am thinking of coming up with a postcard for every ministry with a picture of their achievements.
Where’s the pothole? Iv recently replaced my tyres.. would ideally like to avoid that expense again so soon after!! 🙂
If you are going from Beirut to Dora, stay on the left lane and you will skip it. It’s on the middle lane right after Forum but is a long pothole not a wide one.
Thank Youuuu!!
you know what ,maybe we should report and try to claim the damages that incurred on our cars, i recently had to change 2 tires because of a ” joura “( that i had renewed early in the summer )
Maybe the problem is that we are so passive and that we don’t expect anything from them that they get away with it
maybe if we claim our right and higher our expectations that one day they’ll realize that its their duty to keep roads safe and that its not just a part of a electoral campaign …
Watch in UK how u claims a pothole puncture : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9GPXVqMIi4
The roads are old and you can’t go blaming the minister
Want Lia to pay for them ;)?
There is a way
