Here every one had a mistake. No one not ready to take their responsibility. So we no need to blame any one. The only one solution to stop the accident the government would install radar to every 5KM gap on each corner of the raod with camera (as it is in Saudi Arabia) with maximum speed of 40K.M. per hour. If they crosses this speed they will be penalty of Rs.200/- minimum. If this is done definitely accident will slow down soon and every rider will be safe. But government will cost more once.
Think this traffic department to install and fix the device in every corner of the road.
Road Accident is a serious issue. Daily hundreds killed because of it in India. But unfortunately nobody ( both govt and public) doesn't take this matter seriously..
why we should have a car which has speed of more than 80km per hour. Better late than never...
Oh Gov't.., do something for the sake of innocents life which you can.....
Inna LIllahi Wa Inna Ilahi Rajoon!
Motor bike is not at all good for mangalore roads....it is a kind of death trap...traffic is increasing day by day...no space for small vehicles to move around...at the same time big truck entering from nowhere...overall this kind of accidents are invited every now and then...so tragic...we need to ban motor bikes...most of young boys and couples are getting killed...so sad...
Inna lillahi vainna ilaihi rajihoon, O Allah forgive them and make good here after to them
