    Also, in the same narrow stretch where the big blocks were laid as temporary dividers, the city and the express busses plying towards Karkala direction stop right on the road creating a huge block for the other motorists. I suggest that the City Municpal Authorities to instruct the busses to stop on the other side where the two lane is active. The passengers who want to board and alight the busses can walk a few meters ahead than causing problems to both commuters and the motorists.

    Indian Drivers can drive any where in the world. Even moon surface they drive 120 km/H. They never think about others safety. No check for Blind spot or side mirrors. Night without headlight. sudden stop on middle of the road. Specialty of our Indian drivers is Rubber neck.

    We need more and more ISO certified driving schools otherwise no end for these kind of mischiefs since latest most of the Indian cars are high-end specifications, with little accelerator press they will cross any divider.

    Divider is need to separated the road into incoming and out going tracks and avoid the head on collusion. Over speed and reckless driving are the main causes of accidents. Traffic department should install the radar cameras instead of speed breakers.

    Dividers are very important in any road because vehicle can make U turn any where on the road causes serious concern. Dividers are there to protect. But our drivers don't have real defensive driving qualities as they learn in schools where the instructors are useless. India should have strict driving learning methods which can produce good drivers. I was testing Indian drivers in Dubai they failed almost 2 to 3 years to get license only because they don't learn properly in India. That is why so many accidents. Truck with heavy load over turns just because driver cannot realize the vehicles gravity changes with load. jai hind
