    Driving on NH66 has become a daily gamble with life. Speeding private buses bully smaller vehicles off the road, while two- and three-wheelers brazenly drive against the flow of traffic, forcing others into dangerous swerves. Add to that blinding high-beam lights at night, poorly marked lanes, and careless overtaking — and you have a highway that feels more like a war zone than a road. How many more accidents, how many more shattered families, before safety takes priority over negligence? NH66 should connect lives, not destroy them.
