    common in third world countries where safety of the vehicle as well as the driver is given least importance....remember a tragic happening many many years ago where a driver, who had worked for two days continuously was asked to school children for excusion...barely one hour later he hit the bus against tree and nearly 23 children died...i think happened around Mandya or Mysuru....this is the state of safety in our country...
