Penalty of violating traffic rules MUST be strongly held on ALL traffic participants regardless of nationality. Also, traffic police MUST be much more seen on the roads, stopping and controling all drivers and vehicles. Overtaking from the right side, driving over than 140-150 km/h or more (mostly SUV drivers), driving without direction change lights is here common behaviour of almost all drivers. I don't want to loose my life because of that light application of regulations which is MUST TO be held by ALL drivers. I want to appeal to traffic police to be more agile in order to save life of people. Dying in traffic accident is not my chosen way of dying. Police please be strict.
Traffic department and ministry, please don't give driving licence to everybody. Traffic department and ministry, please take the driving licence for temporary from those who breaks the rules in offensive way so many times, who was the rule breaker in more than one accident occurred. Take it for long time from those who was accused and convicted as guilty in such an accident leading to someones dead. Save our lives. Regulate our traffic. The only way is - the same rules and the same approach to everyone who are traffic participant and strict penalty without excuses.
R.I.P. to all ppl died in any traffic accident.
4 or 5 the loss of even 1 human is never compensated. RIP. Hope their families are informed of the tragedy. Driving is a responsible task.
