    Police only fine if you drive within the speed limit but not wearing seat belt.

    most of the accidents happens face to face in the opposite direction. if one way system comes into effect accidents will be down by 90 %. anyone can note no accidents ever happens where the road divided by some pavements.

    Examiners of driver licensing and the relevent authorites are accountable for this situation.

    Must have a driver's liscence database. Every offense gets recorded and insurance premiums will go up. This wal every one will be careful.
