You are so right in all what you are saying but this is far beyond the intelligence and the moral integrity of our so called government officials! Rome burns while they play, or they are in a coma! The criminals are really 'us', but not me, who elect them!

you have all my support and I have been saying the same thing for the last 30 years my friend but this is the land of absurdities and of 'laissez faire' in everyting! if you are right you are wrong in Lebanon!
We live in the state of nature that Thomas Hobbes talks about!

It would have reduced the possibilty of the accident happened , yes, but not stopped it. But, hit and run could have happened either way. It happens evety where and has nothing to do with driver license ligitimacy, road condition, driver respecting the code. It was based on the morals of the criminal.
