Private and SLTB busses are responsible for most of the accidents. Plolice should take though action against them.

Lorries, busses, Three Wheelers and Bikes, are the worst kind of drivers. Tgese drivers in Sri Lanka just want to overtake every other vehicle in front. I have seen busses overtaking another busses while three wheelers also try to beat them.
