    People have to die for road rules to be enforced only to be forgotten after a month .. drunk driving is not confined to the night as the Police sadly assumes .. check vehicles that pull out of hotels and pubs in the afternoon .. you will be quite surprised what you find

    Yes cops and law turn a blind eye when they see buses and politicians drive like maniacs. Those scooter type bikes are worse than tuks now. Uneducated Morons ride them

    We should ban trishaws and motor bikes in the country. The government once said to ban trishaws and recently said to introduce electric Trishaws. How on earth, law enforcement authorities allow entire family to ride on a small motorbike/scooter - This is uncivilized attitude. Parents with helmets and children without it. Are these parents mad to take two to three children in a motor bike!!! Please respect the right of a child. How many lives are lost in the country due to road accidents, drowning, accidents at home and many more. Please wake up Sri Lanka!!!
