    If this was cased by negligence & over speeding it is a good decision & an eye opener for other motorists.. if it was purely an unfortunate accident it is unfair...

    Seeing how people drive in Sri Lanka is an embarrassment. Many drivers cannot stay in their lane and speed stupidly. Road discipline is paramount to getting rid of third-world driving conditions.
