    Noticed, both the drivers didn't want to get off the thar-road. Similarly, they do with small vehicles, by pushing them out of thar road. These drivers are ready to take other road user's life, but they are not ready to get off road.

    AS if they will slow down. People here don't follow basic traffic rules such as going on a single lane, they dont use indicator while changing lane, they dont ware seat belts etc and later blame Government.

    ruchir agarwal, mangalore: Agree with you. Still if all the pointed mentioned by you were taken care also such accidents will occur. Because Our Drivers (Not only public transports, even the private vehicle's) wont change their attitude of overtaking in turning's. Don't know when these drivers think about their Lives and others too. Even If we follow the traffic rule the other person will come bang us, which we cannot escape.

    not following traffic rules and no control over speed.buses overtake other vehicles even on narrow/bend roads.if you dont move aside or drive slow the buses have powerful horns to forcefully make you move off the road and they can move.just hoping driving will be pleasant as abroad in mangalore.this accident happened at a bend.that says it all.traffic officers kindly do something.

    Yet another accident !! Still our authorities will not take preventive measures .1] Speed breakers in all in all junctions of roads and speed governors in all public buses is a must.2] All drivers of public buses should be screened and have a minimum 5 years experience strictly.3] Roads too are to be blamed as the road may have been narrow at the turning
