    we comment and that topic will be closed for the day. But who is listening. Are we heard by anybody. I daily see so many inputs, recommendations, suggestions flowing on road safety , especially on such accidents titles. But unfortunately nobody is hearing yaar. the officials, RTO officers, Police ... everybody acts deaf. so many things can be applied. rules can be stricter, street lights can be introduced, speed limits can be applied where ever required.... so many so many things can be done. Unfortunately those who are supposed to act upon, are deaf just filling their pockets. I agree that this was self made disasters. but we can avoid such things if certain rules and regulations are made strict. But 0 % hope ... pity on ourselves.

    Probably helmet would have saved two precious lives. Agree with Gyaan on the safety bar at the rear end of trucks/tankers. Small cars like M800 easily enter when hit from behind.

    Again, one more incident. This clearly shows how safe we are on the road. Again the question are u driving on the road to kill others or doing suicide. I beg everyone please follow traffic rules all the times. Authorities please make strict rules on driving . like Europe countries or Arab countries make tougher rules and regulations and follow it.
