Though I do not know the details of the tragic accident, I must say that some of the stationary vehicles are parked in a very careless manner and more often than not without keeping their parking lights on. No wonder these accidents happen.

The bus should have switched on the hazard warning light when parked on the road side. Especially at night.

We need to have a point based system for driving offenses. Also make sure serious offenders barred from driving for certain number of years (5-10 years) and make them re-take driving tests.

Authorities must allocate special parking lots alongside the highways, every 5 or 10 miles distance like in the west, so that sleepy or tired drivers can safely park without blocking the highways. Tiredness kills is the message seen in highways in the UK where hard shoulder is part of the highways in which vehicles can be temporarily park for emergencies.
