They should implement a special training for heavy vehicle drivers in order to minimise such accidents that could be easily prevented

High speed, carpeted roads, bold tires and haste = accidents due to lack of control of the vehicle. Thousands of innocent lives are lost.

Why.... don't our drivers read daily papers and learn a lesson? Everyday deaths... traffic deaths! innocent lives....

add to that substandard vehicles with zero safety features, which exist only because the poor people cannot import a better vehicle due to insane taxes.

Dimo batta/batti are not heavy vehicles, those accidents are about general attitude about safety. No care about self and others

We should inspect the vehicle once a year..
NOT only the Emission test.. brakes and many other things..
