These new license drivers are terrible. I have the old license. The old ones are such good drivers. Why is this? We didn't have to go for medical tests and all that. We just learnt in an old Morris but learnt to drive well with a lot of Ethics.

Now we know that ill-fated KDU bus was driven by a driver with a suspended license just like Ranil who lost the license in 2020 but entered the Parliament through a backdoor and became the President through a backdoor.

All of the bus and three-wheeler drivers has no respect to any laws or life on the roads. Those who are traveling as passengers on these vehicles need to take video footage of the reckless driving from inside of the vehicle and turn it to the nearest police station as soon as they get off the bus and give their route. So the cops can wait at the next town to take a bribe. If the driver is to continue to pay bribes on his route this dangerous driving will stop.

Road rules have to be strictly enforced!!! Heavier fines have to be imposed! Just going on the road is so dangerous! Wake up IGP and do the needful!!!

When the whole place is being driven by a similar set, this matter is a small matter!
