Here are a couple of snapshots from my research presentation. I was so fascinated by Lebanese Trucks and their decorated exteriors. It has always been a fascination of mine since my childhood.
In Lebanon many trucks get into accidents as they drive on the main road with all the other cars and so they are adorned with protection signs (evil eye) and vernacular arabic calligraphy. Most of the writings are prayers to ward off accidents and protect those driving the truck and those driving beside the truck.
There is so much behind the back of the trucks, along with signs of warnings, indicating which side of the truck they can surpass.
In Lebanon it's always a danger to drive behind trucks, even though they are so beautiful to look at.
