    First of all, our drivers should be taught how to maintain the lane discipline, although i live in Bangalore, very often travels on Bangalore, Mangalore,Kundapura highway. What i observed most is the nonsense driving of private bus & lorry drivers, i even had fight with those careless drivers & they hardly listens to you & rather argue with you, most of the times its the small vehicle commuters who suffers most, local R.T.O.must take some initiative to educate these drivers so that we can curtail such incidences.

    My condolences to the families of the deceased in this tragic accident. May their souls RIP.

    Maruti Omni has no protection at all in case of an accident. The Govt. should ban the manufacture of this vehicle for it has only a thin sheet of metal in front as protection. This vehicle should be banned on National Highways.

    This is sad but this will happened many more times if public does not get tough on Tippers and Buses. 7 lives lost without a second thought.
    Next may be in Mangalore!!! I have requested many times to call Police Control Room when You see danger. Again I am giving the number for your and your loved Ones'life. Here is the No:0824-222-0800. Tippers load building material or any other trash and drive through crowded streets without covering.

    Bad drivers are the root cause of all these accidents. Should be punished for murder.
