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????

Ram. Don't say god is cruel its one of express high way victim ,,,we aren't prepared to drive on express highway neither to cross the high way
if someone drives and kill others its like a murder and if he dies himself it is sucide...as per my logic...there may be difference in opinion
