Two killed on Expressway

I guess 70~80kmph is the ideal max speed for these kind of small cars below 1300 cc.

Many drivers know only to put pressure on the accelerator. But know nothing about controlling the vehicle. We see this every day on the roads.

These indian cars are made to be used in city limits not on high ways...

It's only 100km from Galle. If driven at 100kmps, we can go in 1hr. If speed upto 120kmps, one can save 10 min. If slowed down to 80kmps, the delay is only15 min. The main benefit I get from highway is less traffic. We should evaluate the risk against the return we get from time save. May the victims attain nibbana and wish speedy recovery for injured!

These Indian cars do not even meet basic NCAP safety standard and lucky to have the wreckage left let alone people in it!

Sad. Most accidents occur when road rules are not followed. Driving on the expressway is much more safer than our Colombo roads.

These Indian vehicles are not suitable for highways. They lack basics at high speeds. Our drivers be aware that it is not only accelerating but the vehicle should be designed in such a way to safely perform at high speeds. know what is driven and know the limit.

Very thin lanes-Scary to overtake
Thin shoulder-Cant even change a tire of jeep,SUV,big vehicle
slippy road conditions-Scary to drive in rain
Highway or a Chinese scarp.

Not much left of the car. Sad. Just pure negligence.

That reminds me of my days in Saudi Arabia. It was a common site on the Jeddah - Yanbu highway.

Tires unroadworthy. Should not have been traveling at high speed in those tires. It probably lost traction and slid. Police at the toll gates should not only check lights, they should check tires too.
