    The highway at Murudeshwara is very straight and people speed here. High time police put speed brakers as crucial areas in this area

    From all these 2 wheeler accidents mostly being hit from rear either the 2 wheel drivers do not use their rear view mirror constantly or they surprise the vehicles by suddenly swerving / braking e.t.c solution is to reeducate this with proper study and use Media to spread the message on how to ride a motorized 2 wheeler safely also especially on highways we could have dedicated lane for 2 wheelers/3 wheelers

    May her soul rest in peace. Another case of careless driving resulting in a loss of young lives. A humble request to all big vehicle drivers think about the lives of scooter drivers as their own and you should be responsible for the death of a innocent human being.
