    Although i do not judge either of the parties in this case, this particular spot sees lots of 2 wheeler and even 4 wheeler riders coming on the wrong side until they reach the divider so that they can proceed towards Manipal. Across Udupi, the lack of civic sense particularly in lane discipline, follow 1 way, looking both ways before joining main road is increasing alarmingly over the last couple of years. Paired with the increasing traffic, road accidents are only go on an upward trend. Request all readers to kindly follow the traffic rules, have patience and be courteous, and drive safely.

    Either scooter rider would have tried to throttle or car driver would have tried to fly off the car...
