    Road accidents could happen every time car owners/driver neglect safe hand driving, one must maintain a speed level applicable to the area to which they are heading to. If one can maintain and on guard to the driver's wheel no accidents will follow.

    Avoid using two or four wheelers on coastal highway till express way is complete. Use public transport instead.

    All driving from Mangalore to Kundapur should be careful of sudden diversions. this may be hazardous. Also the vehicles driving in opposite direction, as far as i remember: Panamboor,Suratkal,uchila, udyavara,ambagilu,santhekatte, Uppoor,Sastana.

    OMG! how many accident news! I suggest Daiji to open a seperate section for reporting accidents alone in our twin districts. Additionally, that page can have a monthwise tabular presentation of all accidents with columns like date, type of accident, no injured, no of deaths and monthly totals of accidents and deaths which can be forwarded to all concerned. (RTOs, MLAs, MPs, Drivers associations, Bus owners assocation, NHAI etc).

    Government/RTO department was sleeping last many decades, most of the accidents were/are happened due to fish transportation vehicles. These vehicles are always high speed because they want to reach their destination within a short period otherwise they won’t get benefit so all drivers are speeding their trucks like a rockets by killings other so my request to RTO to regulate/limit the speed of fish transportation trucks to avoid such type of accidents.
