Head on accidents take place if the driver of a vehicle is sleepy or drunk. It is the duty of drivers to take atleast 15 minutes rest of driving for two hours.

Srilanka is becoming killing field in accidents; shooting; natural disasters and suicides . Why this government doesn't care about it . Judges are paid by the public Lawyers; Politicians; police; driving licence officers and all are paid by people but people are being killed like this but no action is taken. Why ?.

Most of the forces vehicles on our roads care two hoots about the other vehicles plying on the roads. We could observe these vehicles being driven by maniacs like ambulances taking patients to a nearest hospital in a mighty hurry risking the pedestrians and other oncoming vehicles. Higher authorities should look into this matter with continuous training not only in the skills of driving but refresher programs to instill proper discipline on roads and not be obstacles to other road users by flagging other road users when overtaking etc.

Every area there should be guarded by volunteers for safe driving. These volunteers should be paid by town councils, non profit organizations or someone else. There is an opportunity for people work regardless of age limit. So the streets will be safe and people will be working. Without efforts there is no success.

These military vehicles think they own the roads, first thing to do is change the dip-shit government and discipline the tri-forces and get rid of the worms. When you start there the rest is easy.

Yes, it's true. The all the three forces majority of members who drive the vehicles they thinks they are the owners of the road. Actually now days forces became a headache for the public. Even they are driven by their private cars and motorcycles they don't care others.Srilanka became a most killing filed and beyond the control of authorities. Bad luck ,its very difficult to get the correct path.
