    Mr. Mohammed Kundapur/Qatar: You read the news properly before saying "Many cases with Maruti Ritz". It is reported driver was over speeding. It had hit the parked vehicle before getting toppled. Besides the road is being relaid and the work is going on.
    So do not blame the manufacturer of the vehicle or others when the fault lies with the over speeding Driver. We Indians are No.1 people to blame others when the fault lies with oneself and we do not accept the mistakes . Very Sad incident. Wish speedy recovery for the injured. Jai Hind.

    IN OLDEN DAYS WHEN AN AMBASSADOR OR FIAT GOES @ A SPEED OF 60 IT SEEMS TO BE VERY HIGH SPEED,ANYONE INSIDE COULD MAKE OUT THE SPEED. BUT NOW A DAYS NOT LIKE THAT WE WANT AC. AND NEED TO CLOSE ALL GLASS WINDOWS. IN THIS SITUATION IF YOU TRAVEL AT A SPEED OF 120 ALSO ONE WHO IS SITTING INSIDE THINKS ITS ONLY 40 DEGREE. THATS WHY IN KUWAIT I SAW ANY VEHICLE PICKS UP A SPEED OF 120 IT ALARMS. IT IS BETTER TO FIX AN ALARM IN INDIAN VEHICLE WHILE PICK UP SPEED OF 100 DEGREE TO SAVE LIVES.

    john PCC,

    Do you know why people mostly die in the accidents? That is because when we purchase vehicles we do not consider the safety aspect of the vehicle. And also the occupants in this vehicle may not have fastened their seat belts.
