What is the biggest change I've noticed here since the revolution? Well, take a look at this picture from pre-revolution Cairo.
Both the taxi driver and the private citizen are wearing their seatbelts. Now, based on a lot of experience, I can tell you that they might not be fastened. Many drivers just pulled them across their chest until approaching a police checkpoint - then they clicked them. But the police enforced the law strictly and no one liked it.
I've been looking for someone wearing a seatbelt for the past week since I first noticed the change. I have yet to see one. Even though numerous police are back on the streets and highways, this law seems to be a priority with neither.
Here's a link to a different form of defiance of a similar law.
