    Overspeeding is the cause for most of the accidents.

    Probably heavily drunk too. I don't mind people having a drink or two and enjoying. But, don't drive if you are intoxicated as this will be a risk not only to you but also other road users and

    Most of the drivers drive vehicles at overspeed and the police don't arrest them. The drivers driving long trip buses know where they can go overspeed in the night and they continue that habit despite many fatal accidents because they want to reach the destination and sleep early. This can be done if the government controls them through police after doing a research by an independent institution. Not only drivers but the vehicle owners or superiors also should be severely punished for overspeed.

    The pictures speak for themselves. One does not have to stretch one's imagination to the limit to ascertain at what speed the vehicle was driven
