Too many ignorant, impatient and inconsiderate drivers in un-roadworthy vehicles.

most of these drivers follow the example of politicians entourage.... they drive with their headlights on, blasting the horns during the day and go on the opposite side of the road... a few days ago i personally saw a nano driving on the opposite side of the road with its headlights on

Oh what a pity, very poor figures of casualty. We need over 100 deaths in one shot, prefereably school children. Only then will the authorities act...that is how thick skinned our legislatures have got.

Not really, they'd have to be 'connected' children for the authorities to act. Common children hardly get a second look.
