    In Mangalore ,Reckless and undeciplined driving by four wheel drivers with mobile conversation is the main reason for this.In 2004 I was on my way to Bajpe with my wife on my bike.The bus ALWYN MOTORS just passed by me at just 6" distance from my right foot with full speed at Maravoor slope turning.We were lucky,nothing happened.There are so many unreported cases like.There is no fear among drivers about traffic police,courts,jail etc . Let Savithri's soul rest in peace.

    The roads in whole mangalore are difficult to travel very easily, but just check the property rates in mangalore like sky high. Looking at the infrastructure the price for the proerty is not worth paying in crores. First priority to construct the proper roads and lanes, then start building the sky scrapers.

    May the deceased's soul RIP and may the injured husband get well soon!! I agree with Lavina on the issue that Mangalore has hardly any infrastructure in place, everything is chaos, but still realty rates are in crores!! There is hardly a single plus point for the exorbitant rates!! There are much better cities which offer realty at competitive rates!! This place is only meant for settling to those who have their families here or who earn their livelihood here!!

    THEY MUST HAVE BEEN A SIMPLE AND LOVING COUPLE WITH A DIFFICULT LIFE.
    HUSBAND AND WIFE RETURNING AT 10 PM AFTER HARD DAY'S WORK ITSELF SHOWS THEIR TOGETHERNESS AND HARD LIFE.
    FATE IS BLIND AT TIMES TO THE CONSEQUENCES AND FALL OUTS...
    I PRAY FOR THE SOUL OF THE LADY AND FOR THE EARLY RECOVERY OF THE GENTLEMAN.
    MAY GOD GIVE HIM STRENGTH TO BE BOTH FATHER AND MOTHER TO THE SMALL CHILDREN.

    may departed Savithri's soul rest in peace.

    Lot of innocent people lost their valuable lives on road due to some careless drivers.

    There is necessity of putting an end to reckless drivers.
    Govt should look at setting up radars on roads to monitor vehicle speed & punish the drivers severely, who don't respect RTO guidelines.
    Black point system for violating traffic rules should be implemented & upon reaching certain number of black point, driving lisence of the person should be cancelled. If the same person re-applies for lisence, he should go under counselling & should be tested, if he is fit to obtain lisence again.
    Only this kind of awareness can limit/control, increasing accidents.
