Some motorists never indicate where they are going / turning. In some cases the turning lights blink on happily long after the turn has been made.Some use the hazard lights to indicate that they are going straight at junctions. ( Sri Lanka may be the only country using that signal ). Some even think that flashing their head lights a couple of times give them the right of way. The most dangerous is that some vehicles have faulty or non-working brake lights which the drivers are ignorant about.

Increase the charge of RS 300 to Rs 500 for highway users. Rs 300 is too littel. This a request from a moterist from colombo., used this money to build more highways.

If not more people will be killed on the roads. Firstly teach them to drive in the lane. Having experience in driving all over Middle East and Australia, I feel Lane maintainence and light signals are vital. Also look at the age of the drivers, todays roads are flooded with elderly drivers and they still drive like in 1960s, One must look at the rear mirror every 7-10 seconds, give way to the fast track without making it a personal or an egocentric issue.The vehicales should be in good mechanical condition with brakes, steering and lights working in proper order.seat belts a must!

Quite right!
And lights should be properly adjusted not hitting the oncoming drive directly in his eyes and blind him leading to accidents.

Eve at 500 rupees I do not think the cost will be recovered for the maintenance will take much of the income. So new highways will require additional money!
