    Road constructors can keep hump wherever its unnecessary but can't make humps where it is necessary. If there was a hump ofcourse everyone will slow down and that too its a place infront of fire station n 2 roads join and the road is also like a express highway where no much vehicle move and it was night to so ofc that rider having a new bike ofcourse will be fast. And also that person who is old n going with wife why will he go fast!?. And seeing the bike u can easily make out that the bike guy was in max speed .

    Very shocking news. May his soul Rest in Peace. A very humble man. I used to enjoy talking with him when i was in Udupi. We both were working in same company, and for some time i was working with him in his office. Heartfelt condolences to his family members. Praying for his wife Smitha for speedy recovery and to keep his family in his love and care.

    The bike guy is at fault for over speeding , over speeding is dangerous for both the rider as well as the innocent road users. Strict action must be taken against the bike rider

    The guy on the motorcycle is the culprit. 59 year old man with his wife in the pillion, on scooter would be definitely careful while riding. This is my verdict.

    New gopura to brahmagiri circle road known as Nayarkere road is like a race track to many vehicle users due to top class construction quality. However caution is required to protect innocent pedestrians, stray animals and fellow road users. Night is a totally different story as this road is a playing field for many two wheeler users. Especially scary is when scooters ply at high speeds. Sad for the family . RIP to the departed soul. Wishing speedy recovery to the survivor.

    Yes Gopura to Brahmagiri road has bcome the race track. We feel the old pathwhole road was better than these new road for these kind of racers. The guy who hit Mr. Sadanand is a sales person in Jayalaxmi silks.
