This adds fuel to burning disasters in the country. Are rules for high speed and reckless driving only for the rest?

In Talawakele, what zebra crossing you are talking about? Why do not you tell Ministers to adhere to road rules specially the speed limits

Apparently they are trying to revive the dead lady so that they could arrest her for coming in the way of the innocent minister.

it is very common these security of ministers get the ministerial ego into their heads also. once they get into a minister's security vehicle they think all other humans on roads are lesser beings

The minister should be remanded just as ordinary motorist on the road would be under the circumstances.

The long & expensive conveys can be very much minimised as the security situation is very much better. Now it has become only a show piece and waste of public funds.

Of course convoys should be there for ministers. But they should know when and where to control the speed, I hope the GOSL will take some corrective actions to prevent such unfortunate incidents. They should not do reckless and careless driving.

Earlier they needed convoys to protect them from the LTTE, now they need the convoys to protect them from the people!

The Govt. must consider giving choppers to Ministers and MP s instead of Pajero s and Land Cruiser s, for the safety of other road users.

Its the womans fault. Pedestrians are supposed to jump into the drains when a ministerial convoy approaches.

After all the ministers got so much work to help the Sri Lankans they have no time to waste on roads, and have to travel at lightening speeds.

This is sad.
pedestrians too should be aware of proper use of roads and zebra crossing.

Its time to ban all ministerial processions. In the West the ministers travel about without any fuss and they have more important work to do than our fellows here.
