Time has come for the proper experts the Physicists to take over the designing of vehicles from the Engineers whose knowledge of Physics and Mathematics is very limited.This kind of tragedy should not happen in the 21st century.

Only the engineers would vote against this important comment.Peoples lives are infinitely more important than the artificially hyped engineering education.

IN THAT CASE , EMERGENCY MEDICAL UNITS SHOULD BE SET UP EVERY FIVE KILOMETERS.

Came on Southern Express Way yesterday! Most of the drivers don't seem to know how to drive on a highway! The minimum distance is never maintained!!!

He he. Do you know how to keep the minimum distance. Speak something you know

many people drive on the expressway as if they are on a normal street WE CANNOT HAVE driving discipline and rules one for the roadways and another for the expressway. some idiots will try to pass another vehicle just in front of you by cutting you off thinking that you are able to stop.

Boo, If you dont know search for the two second rule. Safe distance is over 30 meters in 100kmph
