What else can I say to save their lives,
none as they are all gone because somebody was in a rush to save a minute from
the journey but end up losing all the minutes of everybody in car? Just like a
game of poker. Highways and roads in the modern era should be upgraded of built
with 3 or more lanes and heavy vehicles including bus can only use the first
lane and have a concrete barrier for the first lane so that the driver cannot
drive on other lanes. Yes have to treat drivers like small kids because they do
not understand instructions at all.
I am waiting and hurry up
