    What Joe mentioned his report is cent per cent correct. Our drivers not only tankers all categories (not all) are very careless and drive on our roads recklessly without showing any mercy on other road users. They think our roads are like maidans. talking on mobile phones is another nuisance. Most of our car drivers also use their phone while driving which is also dangerous. they drive slow blocking the other vehicles which are behind irritating them. Police should see those aspects and book cases who use mobiles while driving. Due to these problems accidents are increasing day by day.

    These Water tankers are getting out of control. These tankers are becoming nuisance on road. They fill the tanker to the top with water. While driving they talk on Mobile Phone and ignore the road condition or the traffic condition. So when they stop suddenly or to miss some road pot hole or so,they spill the water on bikers. These bikers to avoid getting wet, swing their vehicles to right or left. Thus these bike hit other vehicles including mine too. I have spoken to Inspector of Kadri Traffic Station Mr Suresh Kumar regarding this problem. He promised Me to take care of this and He will. He is very good Inspector and He may help in this problem.
    Note: If you happened to observe this problem please call Police Control Room 0824-222-0800 and they will surely help.

    Tipper trucks that carry sand are also very dangerous. driving on road after 6pm is a nightmare as these tipper drivers are often drunk, drive reckless with full speed & headlight with high beam

    Thanks Joe,
    Overtaking on other than 4 lanes must be banned. How dare this driver drive totally on right side...
