Traffic accidents
Recently, there has been quite a few reports and meetings on fatal accidents. They are trying to find out causes and solutions. Obviously, most reports found Reckless Driving as the Main Cause. Please refer to the heading in today's DS (24 Aug.)"Cops to arrest errant drivers" on page 16.This does not conform to rules of punishment for driving offences in most other countries. For rash or reckless driving the cops may seize the driving licence and the vehicle. They can Sue him in a special Court dealing with traffic accidents.
The present need is to seize all fake licences and train the drivers.
There should be a training centre in each district. Recently, I saw a footage concerning the accident in which two secretaries died . The footage tried to show the cause of death rather than the cause of accident. In the footage it was clear that the bus was completely on the wrong side. I am sure both the vehicles did not slow down in a sharp bend like that.
