Lebanese Startup Interactive Switch Brings Speed Ticket Lebanon
Many people in Lebanon know how frustrating and expensive it can be to receive a speeding ticket. Aside from the initial monetary costs of fines, further frustration arises and more costs are incurred when a driver has not paid a fee on time, simply because he or she was unaware of the ticket in the first place.
Speed Ticket Lebanon, available on Android and iPhone, was designed to provide a safe, user-friendly way to track your speed tickets in the simplest way possible, keeping drivers aware of how many tickets they may have. It provides on-demand information that may be otherwise difficult to find about fines incurred on a certain car.
The app was designed and released by Interactive Switch, a new design and development studio founded by Jessy Mouawad and Hicham Hajj Boutros. The startup specializes in website design and development, Facebook and mobile applications, and “pretty much all things digital”, according to co-founder Hicham, who discussed the state of developers in Lebanon, as well as why Interactive Switch released Speed Ticket Lebanon.

Is this some sick joke or what? Where are the cameras now, and even worse, where is the police to enforce the law? Even worst, where is that very minister that has to constantly check that his ministry works? Trucks are now lethal weapons driving at breakneck speeds, car owners are no better either, motorcyclists are just as bad, and more and more Lebanese keep dying on our roads. Maybe the day will come when citizens will start killing those who kill others on the roads in revenge killing style, maybe then those responsible for such stupid laws will decide to wake up. This country is a joke!

We are behaving as if this country of ours was normal, this country is a horrifying farce. Let this Naharnet paper conduct a research on the matter of Road insecurity and then write a lengthy article. Have you ever seen trucks and buses overtake on mountain roads third lane, or reach junctions only to continue full ahead and going downwards? Or their drivers texting whilst driving? Or the constant deafening hoots of their sick horns? Or the sickos who use their sport cars to race and do crazy betweens on the highways and roads? The awill happen, then then unthinkable will follow, then we will witness the valse of political denials on TV. Just a matter of time.

Actually, if you read it, he says he's not encouraging speeding. He's just helping avert the additional costs of missing out on paying your ticket. So, you can't use the excuse of "I didn't know"
I like what he says about entrepreneurs and developers in the country: "You got to keep it here by making it here"
This article was funny and pretty cool. I like it!
