    i am not telling that bus drivers are not doing wrong, some time they are doing mistake. if we are in that place(driver) we have to go in same speed. bcz they have to follow time also. if more bus's will come to m'lore(m'lore - udupi) that time they can go bit slow.

    The rainy season has come, and the roads will be slippery... I wish everyone will drive more carefully, and slowly when it rains...Safety first!

    The accident occoured just few minutes before our Indica passed by this spot.As it had rained slighty on that area the road was also oily like and such road conditions only cause accidents when the driver suddenly brakes or drives recklessly!! Our driver was driving ihe vehicle very defensivly like the others on the road.

    It is over and over again that we have seen the consequences of the rash driving of the express busses on this highway. Speaks a lot of the strong lobby of the bus owners, the inability of the traffic department our attitude to sit quiet and watch just hoping that it would not be us or our near and dear once, the next time arround. It is time to get up and act !!!
