    Speed driving thrills but kills too. Impatient for few seconds, rash driving, lack of concentration, driver using mobile etc are the few main reason for so many accidents.
    RIP mother and child.

    Some drivers who try to overtake other vehicles, try to overtake them in hurry when the vehicle in front slow down on a curve even though it is blind spot.
    RIP for innocent lives.

    It looks to me that whoever survived were probably sitting in the front & wearing the seat belt. Infant must have been in mother's lap at the back seat. Even in the middle east it's not compulsory for passengers in the rear seat to wear seat belt. Also rear facing child seat would have saved the infant. It doesn't cost much but saves lives. Even in the middle east only one type of child seat is used which is front facing unlike here where 3 types rear facing for the infants, front facing with side protection for the little children & booster seat for grown up children up to 12. Also fix the child seat in the middle portion of the rear seat which is where the child is most protected. I advise all the parents who have car to follow the above advice.
    RIP

    Since July 2017 it has been made compulsory in the UAE for all passengers to wear a seat belt. Children aged 4 and below need to wear a car seat. No overloading of cars can be done and kids below the age of 10 are not allowed to sit on the front seat.

    Very unfortunate to lose part of one's family. Car appears to be in the wrong lane and hit the lorry, not the other way around. Looks like the car went under the front part of the lorry. Wear your seat belt.. It will help save your life

    Wear seat belts, it saves valuable life. Even in this accident, looking at the photos, seat belt would have saved the victim.

    How seat belt can save lives in this accident?
    Here it shows clearly, this accident happened in a bid to overtake another vehicle. One should be careful while overtaking. Should also know when to overtake.

    It takes a fraction of a second to put our lives at risk. The driver was overtaking without studying vehicles coming from opposite side. On our roads that have provision for just one vehicle to come and one to go, overtaking from behind a heavy vehicle is too dangerous. The same rule applies to pedestrians while crossing road too.

    RIP mother and child and speedy recovery to the injured. May God grant solace to the grieving.

    Good idea to ban lorry from normal traffic. Or give them specified timing to travel.
    But in this case it looks to be total mistake of car driver, he is in wrong track. What could innocent lorry driver do here.
