    So what about it. If you the Police do not wish to educate motorists the easy way or hard way.

    POOR PENALTIES FOR INCREASE IN ACCIDENTS IS THE MAIN CAUSE. WHEN WILL YOU GIVE HARSH PUNISHMENT TO SAVE THE LIVES OF THE INNOCENT ROAD USERS? NO POINT IS GIVING UPDATES, INFORM ALL ABOUT THE PENALTIES IMPOSED ON ERRANT DRIVERS/RIDERS

    We the public are given data to analyse .. if the Police cannot control accidents are we expected to do their job ..

    Sri Lanka have disciplined drivers, a Super Traffic Police that police the roads, extra super legal system and finally an efficient court system that dole out penalties in keeping with the offences

    It clearly shows Police is not doing its duty. Police FAIL.

    Sarath Weerasekera Minister must resign, this is unacceptable number.

    I am an expert in motor vehicle accidents and have all the expert knowledge and can help reduce the number of deaths. I once approached the Traffic DIG in Fort to give my expert knowledge and he failed to come for the meeting. I have contacted another DID after that and he was not willing to listen to me. The attitude of police and their vain pride proves that they don't care about the country and all these news articles are just to say something for the sake of saying.
