    Sheer, uncontroled speed and not the load. Drivers are used to speeding but passengers are at the mercy of God. Then we blame our destiny.

    Overspeed Matters More than OverLoad in Such Accidents, If Overload was the Case, then How it Survived in Deadly Roads in Ghats On its Way?? the Bus was in high Speed and when it was on the Road, Lost Momentum, An Object in Motion Tends to Stay in Motion, Remember Newton, Undoubtedly OverSpeed is the Root Cause. . . .
    In September 2011 i met in an Accident nearby Uppinangady, Same Incident, Rainy Season, i and My Friend in Similar Bus, We both Jumped from Bus, First we thrown our Luggages and then we jumped, I will not forget that Incident.
    In October 2010 I met in an Accident in a bus in Neermarga, two buses Collided, there too Jumped from Window. . . I was on my way for Engg Lab Exams....

    In Gandhinagar, all buses load heavy goods to make extra money and unloaded in Mangalore, Udupi, Kundapura. Police should keep a check on the goods carried.

    THESE BUSES ARE SLEEPER COACH. THE HEIGHT OF THE BUS IS NOT LIKE NORMAL BUS. MOREOVER ALL THE BUS OWNERS MAKING MONEY NOT BY PASSANGER BY LOADING THE GOODS ON THE TOP WHICH WILL FURTHER INCREASE THE HEIGHT OF THESE BUSES. SUCH HUGE HEIGHT BUSES ARE SUITABLE ONLY FOR STARAIGHT ROADS AND NOT LIKE CURVE ROAD. MORE SUCH INCIDENTS WILL COME IF RTO/POLICE WILL NOT TAKE ACTION ON THE BUS OWNERS WHO LOADING GOODS TRANSPORT.

    Many private buses carry commercial goods in their boot illegally to make more profit. It is high time authorities clamp this habit
