Please do not permit buses to go beyond 80 km speed on an express way, as non of the passengers have safety belts. They overtake cars going at 100 km and you can imagine at what speed they are driving to to this over taking. I have commented this before in your news channel but all that has fallen on deaf ears. Accidents take life and injure people therefore please control your speed and keep your distance. Life cannot be brought back and injuries cannot be tinkered. Precautions and strict regulations will save!

It is tragic that comments and even formal complaints fall in deaf ears. Feed back from responsible citizens are ignored by irresponsible officials. Is this the normal trait of our Sri Lankans?
