The horoscope of lorry drivers are not good these days. Any accident whether they are in the wrong or not they are put behind bars. Poor fellows. via DM iPad app

Most people, when they get behind a wheel or get onto a motor cycle their only aim is to beat others by speeding. They are in a mighty hurry and end their lives so sadly. No thinking about their own safety and safety of others. Reckless driving and reckless riding.

The main problem is Driver's want to drive next to the center of the road white line. No one wants to ride on the right lane.
