    enough road width is there only speed breaker is must and off course bikers don't wear helmets for temporary comfort and gave up comfort for ever!!
    even bikers use helmet in high temperature places like Mumbai and Dubai but unfortunately rural people are illiterate in this respect....'Death is certain but don't make it as accident'

    On February 23rd there was an accident at the same spot and a young girl lost her life when a bus collided with the tipper. After that accident Rotary club belman had put instructions on the roadside not to overtake vehicles and reduce speed at that spot. Dinesh being a local person was well aware of the previous accident. What happend yesterday was total carelessness.

    Speed thrills but kills life. Little bit patience from the bike rider would have saved his life. Now all over.

    RIP.

    These kind of accidents will continue to occur every day until we indians start valuing life and learn some discipline in driving and also start respecting the traffic rules. If you take a proper test 95% of our drivers will be unfit to drive and have no knowledge of traffic rules.
    RIP Dinesh...

    Indian Driving license means overtake at any time ,anywhere,and specially from any side.

    ***that is the side effect of our license and driving training and test as well.

    RIP deceased and condolences to his family members.

    It's very sad to read about road accident and people are loosing life!! But people who are driving /riding are becoming more inpatient. Always in hurry, overtaking, dominating and forgetting the safety of own and as well as others. We need to change of mind sets. People need to be educated lot more on road safety. Hopefully we add lesson in school curriculum so our next generation will learn and follow road safety in grassroot level. We need to have lessons on road safety on compulsory basis.
    RIP.
    Drive safely, Follow Rules for your own safety and for others safety as well.
