Hope they do something about this big problem. Strict penalties should be imposed on drunken and errant driving. The new IGP is a capable person for this Im sure.

Kandy-Colombo road needs, at least..two lanes each way. The private bus "service" also needs a mega restructuring

Killers on highways should be charged with murder. In most cases these are not just accidents. The law should not be lenient when lives of commuters are at risk.

Constant over-taking. Can't wait a minute. "He's ahead, must get in front of him." Same mentality prevails when waiting in the queue (what queue?) at a shop.

This will continue till they put away all the reckless drivers for good regardless how many lanes you have on the roads.

Well said. Nowhere on earth you get so much of '' head on collsions''. At least the newly built roads must have 02 lane. Other reason is our police one of worst corrpt one.

The police is blind to the ignorant careless driving of the bus drivers and that is the main cause for these accidents !
