    Most of the two wheeler riders especially young riders are irresponsible and reckless riders on our roads....they neither care for their own lives as well as lives of others....we are a over populated country and neither government nor the people value human lives. Some of these hanky panky bikes which are not at all safe to ride on our roads are the main cause and riders think that they are flying some F16 supersonic jets and end result is pain & sorrow for families.

    Its most important to give riding / driving licenses to people who are properly trained...like rest of the world....nobody will get drivers license in the west unless they are properly trained to drive and follow ALL traffic rules....Tak...Takk...

    Joosey S.Raheja waterfront.Towiden the roads or to make a seperate road to two wheelers.there is absolutely no place on our roads.They should make roads breit from beginn only.Instead we see houses ,shops quiete next to roads.People have hardly place to get out of shop to road without looking right and left.Planners are required here.Sad to hear young person died.Heartfelt sympathy to family.May his soul rest in peace.One more thing.Youngsters should think our roads are not meant for high end bikes .and too very fast or take over .one should think and see twice before you over take.

    They can't fix,repair, develop existing roads all filled with potholes and you are suggesting separate lane for 2 wheedlers in every post which won't work even if constructed. its not possible road winding has to be done & even if done two wheedlers won't ride in separate lane its a impossible situation because our country does not have an systematic international traffic system like in UAE OR US

    Indian roads are not suitable for these 310cc bikes. You never know when youll encounter Potholes, undisciplined drivers, animals etc etc. I know its itching to ride fast but these are the consequences that one has to be ready for.

    Foolhardy to have overtaken the bus ... in the process lost his life. Can't say if he was in a tearing urgency ... but one thing is true. These so-called learned riders behave as if the road is their father's property and give a damn to the general public transport. In upmarket Bejai (Kodialguthu East Main Road linking Empire Mall junction) everyday during the noon, there are a gang of numerous two wheeler's driving their sports bike on the concrete road disturbing the peace and serenity (especially the old aged people/general public having their siesta) at this time with the thunderous deafening jet engine sound emitting from the bikes. They should be castigated and vehicle impounded for good.
