    I still do not get clue why People blame RTO or Police. People are not ready to contact RTO or Police to inform about the driving of a driver. Only ready to pass the buck to blame.
    Police or RTO men have just two eyes,two hands and two legs just like us. They cannot be everywhere every time. There is PCR No:0824 222 0800 and ready for your call all the time and any time. Thank God we have this great number which I am using almost everyday. PCR Police graciously answer my call and do the need on time without any gripes God Bless these Policemen. If your Bus driver is speeding or ill behaving call Police Control Room and they will stop His hard head Acting.

    So sad news . May his soul rest in peace .May God strengthen his family for the great loss.

    LOOK AT THE PHOTOS HERE. SOME PATIENCE LESS DRIVERS TRYING TO OVERTAKE THE VEHICLES EVEN THE ROAD BLOCKED. THESE ARE ONE OF THE CAUSE FOR THE ACCIDENTS.
    ENLARRGE PHOTOS AND BOOK THE CASE AGAINST THEM FOR VIOLATING TRAFFIC RULES.

    RIP Cornel bro!! Mangalore City perhaps is getting notorious as one which can boast of the highest road mortality rates in India!!

    Just completely avoid using two wheelers, this place is not at all safe for two wheelers!! A gory death or maiming for life has a very very high probability!!

    So much for the fasted growing tier III city in India, getting publicity for all the wrong reasons!!

    don't go ever behind any heavy vehicles..give indication or just horn when need to pass-by. heavy vehicles unable to judge from both ends..if small vehicles start to overtake. eench aanda eencha..?? again tata's wants to introduce car below one lakh..!! either need wide roads..or keep some restricted zones only for heavy vehicles in some specified hours..!!
