    these trucks and heavy vehicles should only move through the slow tracks and if found moving through speed tracks should be fined. or somebody should conduct some class about speed track and slow track to the drivers. its really risky overtaking them through the left side.

    Who checks the road worthiness of thousands of vehicles which puts innocent lives in danger? Seriously we need a monitoring body to "pass" the vehicles, once a year, like in other countries.
