    Two main causes of accidents. Alcohol and over-speeding. The police must take adequate actions There must be regular checks to prevent accidents, I feel very sad whenever I see a news regarding accidents Because they are completely preventable

    Safety, safety and safety is a slogan everywhere. Accidents can be prevented to an extent with watchful steps. A moment of carelessness may mean a lifetime of regret. I read a board on a highway "Let us meet later, you over taker, I am undertaker" I find even preachers of safety of souls make mistakes sometimes.
    Please read (in a lighter note)

    A good village head was very serious and the parish priest was called to the hospital. After, the priest came,his condition deteriorated. The patient made some signs to get a pen and paper to write. He wrote and gave to the priest. Priest thought, being a good man, there might be some advice to the village people which he may read latter and put it into his pocket. Finally, the patient struggled and struggled and died. In the eulogy, the priest wanted to read out village head's advice to people and removed the paper from pocket to read. It was written "you are standing on my oxygen tube"'.

    It's not fault of tempo driver..as he belonged to other state...!!
    Highway falls in between local traffic..where in no signal installed..!!
    Most of the time driver's from out of the state..driving in same speed as in the highway..!!
    "Santekatte" where in four roads connecting each other..more of people are confusing the most..!!
    Earlier while coming from Brahmavar..to Santekatte very narrow lane..joining the local traffic..and widening afterwards..!!
    Roads of our state is much dangerous as compare to other states..!!
    As population increases day-by-day..buses are plying for a second in a competition..to reach there destination.
