Egyptian traffic police expert, Madgi Al-Shahed said in a phone interview with TEN that currently the Egyptian law forbids any vehicle driver from driving without closing the door’s of their vehicles, or driving slower than the required minimum speed limits specified. Al-Shahed also added that those who are found responsible in violating the law will be fined up to LE 300; however, if the violation does not lead to any death, injury, or damage of vehicles then the lawsuit may be transferred into a simple criminal matter depending on the case and prosecutor handling the investigation.
