    It seems rash driving has become order of the day, claiming innocent lives, almost daily. Lack of basic traffic sense and discipline are lacking among young drivers. No wonder, why they are known as dying breed ! Sad but true.

    By seeing the tragedy, we cannot also imagine that the driver is alive, but if ALLAH wants to keep anybody alive he cannot die even if you try to kill him.

    Good one Asrar, get hold of both the drivers of KSRTC and Eeco take them for questioning. Big fine should be imposed. We have the latest mobiles with good recording someone should record all bad events that are going on and give to the police authorities.

    Willy,
    One should understand the anxiety of meeting the loved ones returning from abroad. Suleiman is one among them, you can excuse his speeding.

    Surprisingly, I encountered both these vehicles that today morning met with an accident the Eeco and the KSRTC bus. Both were driving very Rashly... Eeco driver's accident was confirmed the style he was driving. And KSRTC fellow has not given side to me for a long distance, he stopped only when a passenger got down...
