    She fell from the bike and came under the wheels of the tipper which is coming behind. No fault of the driver of the tipper. why take action against the tipper driver?

    RIP to departed soul.....Driving licenses are often issued in exchange for bribes without verifying actual driving skills. As a result, untrained drivers end up on the roads, costing innocent lives. Too many accidents occur because drivers are never properly taught how to handle dangerous curves, potholes, wet roads, judgement when vehicles are in front / side of your vehicle or emergencies such as brake failure and tire bursts. Driving schools charge hefty fee for 7-10 days, pack 2-3 learners into a single session, and offer little more than token practice. During the license exam itself, candidates are sometimes allowed to pass only because an instructor secretly controls the brake or gear. This system not only fails to prepare drivers but directly endangers public safety

    "It’s very tragic for a young life to end like this. Sometimes, drivers of large heavy vehicles don’t notice people on two-wheelers. May God grant peace to her soul."
