Even Poya day is not spared by the MARAYA on the road.

Need to take these unsafe three-wheelers off the A graded highways. These drivers road hogging habits and unconcern for road rules put their passengers and other road users at great risk. via DM Android App

Three wheelers become death traps when they travel outside the built areas. These drivers seem to feel that they own the roads just like within the cities.

Three wheelers should be replaced with light cars; tax concession for three wheel owners to buy a "light car" in exchange of wheelers could be a good option.
