Sure the bus driver would have been suicidal, in his driving

Very sad. Overspending,overtaking are the main cause of accidents on the highway. I have seen Three-wheelers speeding on hamden Lane Wellawatte, which is full of traffick. Either widen the road, make it one way and fix cameras to monitor errand drivers. It is sad over years the authorities have not paid attention to to do anything to this congested road.
