    Rest in peace Rajesh.
    I have no idea how the motor cycles, bikes or any two wheeler can be kept off our
    Indian roads as there is no lane that can be reserved for a two wheeler vehicle. But every time you hear of the accidental deaths as a result of a bike or a scooter hitting a heavy vehicle you have an uneasiness for days on end. Most of them end up to be quite young who are yet to progress in life to make it to their four wheeler. I think there has to be some way out to prevent these tragic deaths.

    One more young life snuffed out as a consequence of recklessness on the part of one, or both the drivers.

    The tragic loss of the bread-winner of the family is a story that is being repeated too often.
    Hope traffic sense prevails, or rather, is forced into all drivers/riders, by strict enforcement of safe driving and stringent punishment for offenders/rule-breakers.

    May the soul of young Rajesh RIP.

    These accidents are almost a daily occurrences. Whereas it is yet to be established the cause of the accident and determine whose fault it was, it is indeed expedient that a strict watch is kept for reckless driving and the defaulters be punished.
