Mangaluru, Dec 10: Two girls had a miraculous escape after their car went out of control and fell into the Phalguni river at Maravoor river on Sunday December 10.

It is learn that girls aged around 20-22, hailing from Bajpe and Kerala, had rented a car from Bajpe in order to pick one of the girl's parents from Mangaluru.

While passing through the Maravoor bridge, the girls decided to visit the Maravoor check dam. But while returning from the dam, the girl who was driving the car lost control and the vehicle plunged into the water.

Luckily, locals who were around rushed to their help and rescued both the girls in the nick of time, just as the car almost disappeared into the river.

Bajpe police arrived at the spot and with the help of locals, the car was pulled out of the water using a crane.

    Girls parked the car at the edge of the river & had a good scenic view from Maravoor check dam.
    While returning, they put the forward gear instead of reverse, looked back and pressed the accelerator.

    Rash and negligent driving. Might have been influenced by the ad 'why should only boys have all the fun'

    Who was that great man who helped the girls in lending the car? What was the necessity to visit the Maravoor Vented Dam when their purpose was to bring the parents from Mangalore.? Whether no taxis are available at Mangalore or in Bajpe? Why that much risk should the girl has to take for this purpose? However though they were in trouble and about to lose their lives they are saved. Thank God for the timely help by the local youngsters. They should be honoured by taking so much risk .

    a Female should never abuse male peoples because the point is trying to prove that your superior will not just end up in making bad mistakes but your mistakes will be held high and laughed at for your embarrassment.

    1) when you cant do everything right except your mistakes, because every human beings make mistake
    2) Never use Media to promote false propaganda to prove you women are right and the best because being humans every existing human being can only be good or bad or being both good and bad at certain point of time at certain situations
    Which brings to the point - when i was weak you fed that women are superior, when i was in High School you showed that only women could get ranks and my life would be miserable as i am useless because i didnt get ranks and would be a stupid dunce no good fellow, when i grow up you said me by saying men wont get driving licenses so easily as women,

    In the end,
    7 ladies failed in two wheeler license test in front of me well where i passed totally without mistakes
    women also dont follow rules and deaf and blind regarding traffic rules. but i follow regular traffic rules. W omen argue blindly after accident even when they violate safety rules of traffic while riding.
    and now its the ladies who fell in the river

    Funny thing is never abuse someone mentally when you know whether its Male or Female, the people who win are right people in right places with greater knowledge and ability to respect people and things around them.

    So exactly to speak- So feminists..............

    Anyone in low-20s ALWAYS loses control of the car.

    Nothing to do with the car or the road or the Maravoor river.

    It has everything to do with the age of the driver.

    If you wat to meet your creator quickly, ask a 20 year old to drive you.

    First thing case must be filed against car owner for renting self driven white board car. Most of these self driven white board cars are being misused.
