Apparently a new law was passed 2 days ago banning expats from driving a car with Libyan plates (ie , no blue number).
I know of 2 people who had their cars taken from them yesterday , Thurs 18th, (1 by the police station near Regatta)and they had to walk home.
So remove everything that you don't want to have to carry home and pack a torch
I await with baited breath the next bit of legislation from the dept. of fun.
