    My God both are no more.May their soul rest in peace.Hard to believe both are dead.When one sees the fotos can makeout the impact.In rainy season car slips easily and when meet hard stones then no more hopes of car and human.Instead of going with own car take a taxi to go and come.Then you are safe bestens whether you drink or not.Need not concentrate on anything.Heartfelt sympathies to families.When one goes to Parties ,anyone remains hardly dry.That shows when they return.full speed to reach home .It doesnt mean they were drunk .Very sad.

    Drink in a limited way but never become drunk and drive recklessly.! In Mangalore more than 50% may use their own vehicles after having daily or routine quota. Only youth are hyper after being drunk.

    Drinking and over-speeding are absolutely unacceptable it may seem fun or thrilling in the moment ,but think of your parents and loved one. They will carry the pain forever:

    Henceforth, if accidents happen due to careless reckless rash driving of bike riders or vehicle drivers leading to deaths or critical injuries, huge fine and criminal case must be imposed on family members of those who were responsible.....this way reckless driving can be put an end to as family members will be in grief of losing their loved ones along with having to deal with fines and criminal cases...

    I don’t agree. Accidents happen because of a person’s own actions, so only they should be held responsible—not their family. It’s not fair to punish parents or loved ones who are already heartbroken. But if a minor without a license causes an accident, then yes, the parents should be held accountable—because it’s their responsibility to make sure the child doesn’t drive.

    Okay I agree that Accidents happen because of a person’s own actions...but what if there is loss of lives of people who are in opposite direction or pedestrians... who will be held responsible?? the person who was responsible for accident will escape after few days freely even if there was deaths due to his negligent reckless driving.......

    I get your point, and yes—reckless drivers should face strict punishment, especially if innocent lives are lost. But punishing their families isn’t fair. They didn’t cause the accident. Instead, make laws tougher on the actual offenders—jail time, license cancellation, and heavy fines. That’s how real change can happen.

    I knew Aman personally! He was a very nice and humble kid! I also remember playing with him during his childhood days! His dad and my uncle had running business in the same building. I also met him recently for a printing work. It's so disheartening to see this. He had just grown up to join his Dad's business. It makes me feel very sad to write this but he was just a young kid had a long good life ahead of him. I can't stop thinking why did he had to face such a tragic end at such a young age. It's devastating for the families of both lives lost. Things like these shouldn't happen and it's very unfortunate. It's difficult for me to digest this news this morning as I heard this. I can't stop thinking of the recent times we met and had a good conversation with him as to how huge printers they had in their shop work. He explained me things very well. Such a nice lady! May the lost souls attain sadgati. Om Shanti 🙏 . Praying for the families

    May the souls of the deceased rest in peace💐 Seeing so many young people killed in traffic accidents is devastating. People frequently forget that every driver or rider has a family waiting at home, hoping they return unharmed and unwrapped in white cloth. All too frequently, people are speeding, driving carelessly, and making the fatal decision to drive after drinking. The Supreme Court ruled nine years ago that liquor stores could not be located close to highways. Although this was a much-needed step to prevent such tragedies, the liquor mafia, who prioritise profit over human life, protested. As a society, it's time to accept responsibility. Every life lost is more than just a statistic; it's the life of a sibling, friend, or child. Be careful when driving. Lead a responsible life. https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/sc-reiterates-the-2016-highway-liquor-prohibition-law-does-not-extend-to-municipal-areas/article67793606.ece

    Kiran, Kulur/Surathkal Everything you wrote in your comment is fine, but I’d like to clarify one thing. Nowhere was it mentioned that they were drinking and driving. Are you assuming that just because they were young? It was clearly stated that they were overspeeding, which I agree with. But just because it was mentioned they were coming back after dinner doesn’t automatically mean they had consumed alcohol. Please think carefully before making such assumptions in your comments.
