    Administration is Full sleep mode public in communal mode ! Only some corporates developing. Roads are in bad shape toll gates are increasing. In a developed countries commuter bikes and small vehicles are not allowed there's seperate lane. In this accident I feel bikers mistake caused accident.

    It's uphill, lorry can't be over speeding in this case. So it's wrong to blame truck driver. Even some bikers ride recklessly, changing lanes. It's not always heavy vehicles are at fault, two wheelers also must be cautious when vehicle are around

    Rest in peace to the departed soul. While we often blame trucks and buses for accidents, we cannot overlook the reckless behavior of many bike riders who don’t follow traffic rules either. In fact, many are not even aware of the rules. The issue stems from the fact that our driving tests are not stringent enough, and unfortunately, sometimes people bypass the test altogether by using money to get their licenses. This highlights the need for stricter regulations and proper education on road safety for everyone.

    A few days ago, a woman named Lavanya was run over by a trailer and she died. This is yet another incident. If lorry, truck, and trailer drivers do not reduce their speed and drive carefully, similar situations will continue to occur in the future. Therefore, the traffic department should impose some restrictions on lorries, trucks, and trailer vehicles.

    Over Speed is the only culprit here! there was a device called "Speed Governor" which has to be fitted on all commercial vehicles to lock the speed at ~ 50kmph. Is this devices fitted now also?
