    Please hand over the tempo driver to the public. Punishment, as deemed fit, shall be given by the public. Inspite of so many accidents and instances of rash driving being brought to the notice of the concerned, nothing seems to have been done. It is with great fear that the motorist, especially two wheelers venture on these roads.

    Tempo Driver should be hanged till death or should be sent to prison for 25 years. This will alarm other useless and reckless vehicle drivers especially tempo and trucks. Can we expect some changes in the laws for these types of accidents?
