    So sad to see a smart young man lose his life in an accident. Navaraj was our water meter reader at Valencia. All the residents in our area will certainly miss him.

    "Speed thrills..but kills" - this slogan has just become a slogan for display. Nobody is giving attention to this. Every driver needs to be very careful while behind the wheels.

    It's sad,but safe driving or defensive driving can save many lives. This is not there at all in third world countries. Some days back i viewed some worst accident videos of Brazil, where people are cut into pieces. People loose their patience after a tiring day, long working hours and rush home without seeing where they drive. In India like country, there is no driving sense as vehicles come from all sides in comparison to first world countries. This post is not to harm anyone. I really feel sorry for those who die for others mistakes

    Quite disturbing. A new bridge is just open and there gone a life. We are very happy to see such a new wide and smooth bridge opened for public now. But unfortunate to see these heavy vehicles showed their cruelty here also. We were just discussing today, that all these heavy vehicle drivers should be specially trained to drive these vehicles. but I am sure nobody would have passed all those tests in our locality to be eligible for that. Here its considered as another vehicle and license is issued. Very tragic to see such a disaster in this new bridge which is just opened.

    Sad news...but somewhat responsibility goes to each one of us and government to train people how to use the lanes. Everyone drive/overtake using wrong lane is common practice in udupi and mangalore. Even truck drivers use right lanes and they are justifying their driving practice.In India common men never take responsibility and blame others
