No it is NPP driver carrying a bus load of JVP students celebrating JVP victory. Nothing to do with the bus manufacturers or may be you are going to be a Village Court chief so you can fine the manufacturers whenever NPP supporters are hurt in such accidents.

Careless bus drivers and speeding. When's the authorities going to do something about it? Hoping the new government will take action in this regard before any more lives are lost.

Police is unable to do anything since most Drivers do not follow Road regulations. Drivers are Law themselves and Police and Pedestrians are only observers. Most Drivers are on the mobile phone, while driving. There is no willingness on the part of the Police to charge them.

Some serious action should be taken against the bus , lorry, threewheel drivers who never observe road rules. They drive like maniacs with just one hand on the steering wheel. They speed without giving due consideration to the road conditions. They escape serious punishment although people die from their actions. Mr President AKD, please do some serious action, you promised that you will make the roads safe for all. Now is the time for action. Start with driving schools, spot check the bus driver behaviour, give harsh punishments, otherwise lives could continue to be at risk from these maniacs. .

The government must take immediate actions to control road accidents by introducing striCts measures. However, more than this, all the drivers must understand their social responsibilities.
