    RTO kindly make rule that all trucks should use the roads and last lane. Many of our riders either coming under trucks or Govt. buses. RTO has to take strict action or we are going to loose our youngsters.

    It is important to look at the situation objectively. While it is indeed sad & unfortunate that a 2-wheeler rider suffered an unfortunate accident, it is important to answer other Q about traffic in general. Only a heavy driver understands the issues that he goes through when he is driving. The trucks carrying heavy and odd size loads in a non-agile vehicle that has plenty of "blind spots" all around which makes it imminently safer to drive on the right side. It is also a fact that heavy vehicles do not have a "cleaner" on the left side as was usual earlier in order to guide them about the gap between other vehicles. Now driver's are usually always alone making it very difficult to navigate heavy traffic. This is why they prefer to run on the right side of roads. As far as two wheelers are concerned it should be made mandatory for all 2 wheelers to drive on the left only as far as poss. Then there are plenty of people esp. ladies and girls who insist on driving on the rt side of the road, something that should be used only for overtaking and other high-speed traffic. As it is neither ethical nor safe to drive slowly on the right side of the roads & Highways. Highway dept. and police should note this aspect of roads use by uninformed people. These are some of the points that could save many people from langoti traffic accidents in the future.

    The stretch between Mangalore to Kundapur is very notorious and is know for reckless driving. Trucks, bikes and good tempo ply on the right side, driving on tye wrong side is rampant, fish trucks pour fish water on the road, etc etc. This particular accident looks like was the mistake of the biker, since he should have maintained safe distance and that is the law. I am from Kudla but live in Manipal. In about 7 years i have seen traffic checking just about two times. Kudla fairs much better. Udupi should follow suit soon to avoid accidents.
