Who is responsible?


A recent tragic incident left a family devastated. And it so happens..day after day. The headline read "A BMW Driven At 120 Kmph Kills Uber Driver on First Day of Job"

Ironically the accused was released from prison on bail after few hours.

Who is responsible?
The young reckless youth who drove irresponsibly?
His parents who did everything they could to release him?
The upbringing , the diminishing moral values?
Or our legal system, who fails to tighten the noose for the guilty?

Unfortunately, human life is not much valued upon...at least not in our part of the world!!

A Driverless world!!


Sharing a very interesting and intriguing TedTalk by Transportation Geek Wanis Kabbaj. The expert draws an analogy between urban streets and biology of human beings uncovering the solution of traffic snarls and other traffic problems from within our ownselves, portraying beautifully how a driverless world would look like. 
With 60,000 miles of blood vessels within us, and every space being fully utilised without any clogging,  it is now time to look for transport solutions beyond surface grids. China's Transit Elevated Bus system, the ''straddling bus'' is one such example. 
Enjoy the talk!!

The culprit...Speeding yet again!!


The newspapers today covered another two major road crashes, where one was in Delhi, the other one in Chandigarh. Ironically, the similarity was overspeeding, loss of control of vehicle and road fatalities in one while injuries to over fifteen bus passengers in another. 



The Audi in which two brothers died was beyond recognition.
Financial loss still can be recovered but what about human loss?
Its time to rethink..

Speed thrills but kills!!

This is a call to action … 


Do you see the motorcycle? 



Now do you see it? 







This wrecked vehicle, with the motorcycle still wedged inside, was displayed as a Swedish Police and Road Safety Department exhibit at the Stockholm Motorcycle Fair, apparently as a warning to drivers about the dangers of speeding and unsafe driving.

The graphic display was placed at the Stockholm Motorcycle Fair by the Swedish Police and Road Safety Department. The sign above the display noted that the rider had only recently obtained his license.

The Honda rider was traveling at such a "very high speed", his reaction time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident. Swedish Police estimate a speed of ~250 KM/h (155mph) before the bike hit the side of the slow moving car at an intersection. At that speed, they predicted that the rider's reaction time (once the Volkswagen came into view) wasn't sufficient enough for him to even apply the brakes.

The car had two occupants and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them, along with the motorcycle itself.

The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 10 feet from where the collision took place. All three involved (two in the car, plus the rider) were killed instantly.


Learn from this experience. Drive within the speed limits..ALWAYS!!
