    'Seat belt' could have saved him with minor injuries.

    The three wheeler goods tempo like the one shown in picture is not roadworthy outside of town limits. You cannot drive such unsafe vehicles on state and national highways. They are a risk to everyone, primarily the driver. The latest trend in DK & Udupi dist is autos plying on state and national highways between two villages or towns. Concerned authorities should immediately put an end to this by banning these incapable vehicles plying on highways.

    Almost every Model Innova is death knell for everyone. Whether driving or walking. First they are large vehicles. Secondly arrogant behavior of the driver to show off that they are wealthy. This behavior leads to accidents. I am on road most of the time and when I see a Innova coming I am scared to look at it. Powerful vehicles to Manghalore roads in speed and show-off.
