    Why doesnt this new govt do something positive that will benefit all sri lankans straight away ,and clamp down on speeding selfish bus drivers bullying all other road users,and killing its people.Its simple costs no money and will prove this govt is for the people .The police are there on the roads .....just stop the drivers as they stop other motorists and they will soon get the message.Or they can fit speed inhibitors to the buses forcing them to take a more considered approach.To many people have their noses in this lucrative busìness to care about those who die I,m afraid
