Poor driver... what else he must do in National Highways? should drive @ 20kmph? If he was over speeding at pedestrian cross then he must be punished. If the women was crossing highways without pedestrian cross then this is her fault & driver must go free.
Does Govt want pedestrians to wear Helmets now????
