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.

Police should check the three wheelers which have dismantled the u turn lock. Please give maximum penalty for speeding and reckless driving. they have become a death trap for Srilankans.
