    This sort of conduct was bound to happen thanks to the apathy of none other than D.K. police, for years. The police are doing absolutely nothing to check this sort of murderous conduct. Commercial vehicle drivers, especially the drivers of this model of vehicle, mini trucks are always intimidating other drivers, let alone pedestrians. Wrong side driving is an ever increasing menace you see everywhere. Common people live in constant fear from these terrorist drivers. Why are the police so lax in checking this deadly behaviour ? Are they afraid of these rastha terrorists ? Superintendent and Commissioner of police, you need take stringent action against these murderous drivers and stop these incidents with an iron fist. You alone are responsible and accountable for the safety of citizens without doubt.

    There should be reverse parking camera installed compulsory in all vehicles, Private or commercial. It should be a standard fitment. These drivers who r uneducated, inexperienced drive these loaded vehicles carelessly endangering lives of elderly people & small children.

    Rajesh B Shetty, Udupi, I fully agree with your comments and it makes sense. But every vehicle if I am not mistaken, must have rearview mirrors, including two-wheelers, three-wheelers. RIP, Goragappa. Condolences to his bereaved family and loved ones.

    It is rare to find a professional driver who is patient and careful, probably due to time constraints and overwork.
