It is not a secret to anyone that 3 Wheel and Private Bus drivers have their own road rules that have been accepted by the Traffic Police and the government. They are not worried as they do not face these thugs on roads.

Come on guys, spare a thought for the driver. He is the father of the victim and has a terrible burden to carry.

At least now govt should consider banning importation of new 3 wheelers. They are not only unsafe but also a big menace.
