    With travel restrictions, roads are clear so speed up. Then they get killed.

    This shows that the police is unable to even implement the travel restrictions. Failed again.

    Reckless driving is evident in the empty roads. Be it police driver escorting a corpse or others speed even in small lanes.

    Our people have no respect for road rules and the highway code. This is especially true when there is very little traffic on the roads. The police spokesperson himself warned about this situation about two weeks ago. As indicated by these figures the motor-cyclists are the worst offenders.

    That's because 150 cc bikers are daydreaming that they are on a 1500cc bike.
