It is not bus drivers fault. It is really a Defener driver who violate road rule by overtaking a bus where line mark not to overtake. Why bus drivers licence surrendered Bcoz defender is in police department via DM Android App

The PSD defender was trying to overtake at a bend in high speed. Why blame the bus driver?

The civil societies for good governance should also take up matters like this with the authorities!

I think its high time that these security teams are controlled. Just because they have the backing of their henchmen, they think they can do and get away with anything. The bus drivers, for once, are not at fault. They should not have been arrested, remanded, taken to court and fined for an accident they couldnt do antthing about.

We should build more 4 lean roads by separating two sides. if not two lane once should redistricted speed Developing road should not stop at any cost. Also we should control three wheel and motor bicycle with more rules

No excuse is good enough. We all know how these guys in the so called VIP group disregard the traffic laws. The Traffic police ought to discipline their officers. Because of one of these others have lost . I believe CCTV footage has to be used and those who are found guilty should have their license cancelled. in this case the bus drivers are not guilty
