    Our driving schools and the RTO never teach or examine drivers safety test. They just teach how to drive and are they able to drive. If mangalore wants to be safe city then they have to teach safety first, driving next. They take the students to vamanjoor give them vehicle and make them to take big round. They dont check anything else..india is the only country which provides licence very easily. And that's why accidents are in high rate.

    Is this incident, an act of sabotage, vehicle failure or human error ??? Only a high level inquiry committee, headed by Church clergy, politicians, eminent laymen and women, will determine, the exact cause of this mishap and recommend, suitable guidelines, to prevent such incidents in Church premises, in the future !!!!!!!!!!

    It is surprising to see the school/church allowing vehicles inside the church/school premises. It is so dangerous not only to the children even church goers. The parents who come to the school to take the children from school are a real menace to the hall users and others. Thank God no one was injured.

    Many years back a similar incident happened near the shops owned by Bejai Church. One Ford ikon s brakes had failed and the car went down the gap between the wall and the shops because there was no protective wall near the car parking area .

    I SAW THE VIDEO FOOTAGE LOOKS LIKE THE DRIVER OF THE CAR MAY BE A JET AIRWAYS PILOT. MAY BE HE WAS TRYING TO TAKE OFF THE CAR THINKING AS IF IT IS A SMALL FLIGHT.

    God only saved this from being a major tragedy. Many lives could have been lost especially school children who were in the vicinity.

    Some functions usually take place in that hall for a limited crowd and guests remain where the car plunged ! Miraculous escape.

    The car seems to be moving as if brake failed or the driver instead of on brake pad accelerated in confusion.

    Why ladies are to be blamed everytime when it comes to driving? Mistakes cant happen with men?
    If you see the overall rate of accidents, major part is held by men and not women.

    Maybe women take time to learn driving but so do men in some cases. You cannot come to a conclusion like that.
