Whenever you hear about an accident, almost always involves with a three wheeler. Like someone said its the time to stop three wheeler importation. It will be good to the roads, Young men who have more potential than to become a three-wheeler drivers and for the community.

Companies like DPMC should be more socially responsible and stop producing these death traps on wheels.

Cant understand why its called a poor mans vehicle anymore. Hiring an ac mini car is cheaper. These guys charge 50/- for less than a km from the so called 'poor' (ignorant) customers.
