    There is not a single day, without reported deaths, on the highway and byway, of DK district.. Mumbai metropolis, with its bustling road traffic, has a fraction of causalities when compared to the coastal district of Karnataka !!!!

    90% of auto drivers are reckless and senseless. Once on the seat they think that they sitting on a ballistic missile and ready for destruction...so our two wheeler riders. They are mainly competing with our supersonic Private express drivers of coastal districts.
    RIP.
