    Lorries carrying fish often over speed. I drive daily on NH 966 ( Calicut - Palakkad) and fish lorries, both Kerala and Karnataka registered speed on the narrow NH risking our lives.

    Speeding kills. Looking at the pictures, it seems both the drivers driving at high speed.

    The highway between Mangalore and Kasaragod looks like a primatiev village road with heavy congestion. Lorries and fish lorries drive fast as they have to deliver goods in time. Its so scary to drive along with route. High time to widen the road. Drive cautiously along this route. Anytime accidents can happen here. I use this road often when going rto kerala and its really scary
