In my previous post, i mentioned they removed the categories related to the ministers and member of parliaments from the ISF website. However, you could still check the single digit numbers without a symbol (bidoun ramez) and see if they have been speeding or not.
Elie pointed out the president Michel Sleiman has got 8 speeding ticket which proved to be correct. Nabih Berri (#2) has three tickets to his name. Saad Hariri on the other has been driving more carefully and has none. Of course we cannot really blame their convoys for speeding as there’s a security threat on almost every single politician in Lebanon, however i would prefer if their bodyguards or drivers would slow it down when they are by themselves and not think they are above everyone else.
This is a disgusting breach to privacy. The system is so hilarious in Lebanon, you only need to know someone’s car plate number to know about his speeding tickets.
In germany for instance, you open up a private account and find out about your tickets.

I completely agree with Keane. In Abu Dhabi, you have many ways to view your traffic violations and all of them require a certain number which only the owner of the car would know. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to get squat. Maybe the lebanese government should hire companies like Booz to restructure their whole system.
FYI there is an application on iphone and blackberry where you can get the name of the owner of the car, if the car is mortgaged or not, the detailed type of the car and the adress of the owner if only you put the plate number of the car. At least on ISF you won’t know who’s car it is. Unless you already know the owner. And in Dubai, it’s the same like here, open for everyone.
Haha, caught red-handed! 😛
Now I know why the ISF website is SO slow! Haha. I can’t even manage to open that page 🙁 Good to know that ticket business is fair.
i really don’t know how you do to check all those tickets…i’m never able to access the website…it is too slow!
and i agree with the fact that it’s should not be open like this, it’s just another proof of all the progress we have to do…
I would like 2 know the place where some check if he has any ticket on his car! i’d really appreciate ur help!
Juju,
You go to isf.gov.lb
I really thought you guys were smarter than that, no offence! the numbers 1, 2 and 3 legally belong to the president, the speaker and the PM, but that doesn’t mean they use them. Have you ever seen their motorcades with those license plates on them? of course not!! For security reasons they have fake license plates, and not even their drivers or bodyguards use those plate numbers! The number you guys looked up are civilian license plate numbers owned by people that have motorcycles, because motorcycles and cars have the same numbers, but the cars number from 1 to 150 are government numbers, whereas for motorcycles u just have to have enough money to be able to buy it! I can’t believe people actually thought the President had a speeding ticket! LOL
Anonymous,
The president puts the number 1 on his car plate or at least one of his fake convoys does and it could very easily been him.
I’ve never heard about any motorcycle having a less than 3 digits number. You need tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a three digit number .. I think u’d go for more than a motorcycle to put it on.
Your comment “laisse a desirer” to be honest.
Haha sorry Najib, I apologise I didn’t mean to be so blunt and I wasn’t attacking anyone I just found this a bit humorous, but trust me I happen to know the person who used to own the number 1 on his motorcycle…If you wanna buy it now you’re right you’d have to have tons of money, but I think his family owned it before we started having the prestige of having a nice plate number! and second no the president doesn’t use the number 1, I’ve seen his convoy and fake convoys several times because I know him and his family personally and happen to live nearby, he doesn’t use it, neither does the Speaker of parliament use his number nor the Prime minister either. That would be very stupid because what’s the point of putting it on a fake convoy anyway? to let their bodyguards go out as an open target and let the people that are after them kill their bodyguards in an attempt to get them? come on!! and 3, get your facts straight, if you know anyone who works at a bank and can have access to the “mechanic” plate numbers’ list, ask him to the check the plate numbers of motorcycles, the numbers one two and three he won’t find them though, for security reasons, but the number 4 is a white and red kawazaki AR 50 year 1991, number 5 and 6 are also kawazakis years 1974 and before (collection motorcycles) my list is 2 years outdated so u might find the numbers on new motorcycles if they changed them. And if you haven’t seen any motorcycles having less than 3 digits that doesn’t mean they don’t exist, just means you haven’t seen them! Now again I apologise, I really don’t mean to offend anyone so no offence, but this subject is really hilarious! Our government is already a joke, I don’t think they’d be stupid enough to make a fool of themselves by posting on the web that the President has speeding tickets! This whole radar thing is stupid anyway, that’s not gonna stop people from speeding, or running people over, you could clearly see the radar in a police car on the side of the road and slow down right before it and then pick ur speed back up afterwards, and if you weren’t lucky enough you end up with a ticket and have to pay a lousy 30$?!? that’s it?!? they should adopt a policy like the one in the gulf, where a speeding ticket costs 1000$ and if you get a certain number of tickets let’s say 3, you get your license revoked! There’s a million things wrong with our system I don’t even know here to start .. I’ve known a few people that died in car accidents so this matter is very personal to me! so again, I’m sorry najib…
Anonymous,
I didn’t take you seriously at first but what you just posted is quite interesting and shocking to say the least.
I assume though that this guy is very well connected to be able to have such numbers right? Plus what made me believe that it could be an official’s car is that it received them at several locations on the same day and in various regions in Lebanon.
Unless you guy likes to drive a lot, it could be a reckless bodyguard driving around?
No need to apologize 🙂
hehe yeah well i don’t think a bodyguard would be reckless enough to drive around in a presidential car all day long 😛 it’s a motorcycle, that’s why the guys got tickets in different regions, he likes to travel around the country and outside the country as well .. second, notice how the dates aren’t even organized or sorted in order? it might be a hoax and might not even be him! who knows, the government probably posted this on purpose to make u actually believe it’s the president and they’re that serious about giving everyone speeding tickets 😛 hahaha
Anyway, you guys take care, and always drive safe no matter what! If we want everyone to drive safe we have to start somewhere and set an example! Have a good day 🙂
Hi guys
Can anyone save the html page with the tickets and post the html source here?
I wrote a small program that sends a daily email reporting the tickets (so I don’t have to go onto isf, wait, type, etc.), but I can’t test the case of having tickets because I don’t have one (and I’m certainly not going to go speeding to get one to test my program 😀 )
Thanks,
Shadi
actually, that was stupid of me because I can just try out some numbers :s
sorry about the post
