Volvo-Container Crash Kills CEO, 5 Others Near Bengaluru | Raises Questions On India’s Road Safety

[@legotelugu]

ceo who died along with his whole family paid around 50 lacs as tax for buying that car just 2 months ago. 53L (Income tax from salary to earn 1.3 cr) + 23L (GST) + 18L ( road tax) ---------------------------------- 94 lakhs income to govt! 1.25Cr on road includes 18.66L of road tax, 4L insurance. Remove that from the on road price. 1Cr is the exshowroom. Which include ~23L of GST (assuming @28% GST) For paying this 1.25Cr he would have paid a 30%- 35% Income Tax on his earnings which is like 1.78Cr (since he is ceo he might be earning above 50 lpa in that case his tax slab would be 35%)- so 53L income tax paid then he will be left with 1.25Cr to buy that car.

Road tax is not the point; those roads near Nelamangala have well paved tarmac and a 3-ft walled service road. India suffers from a road user problem. Over speeding, Driving in wrong directions, Parking on the highways, crisscrossing across the lines, driving slowly in the right lane-no matter how great of a road you build, if the users don't have road discipline.

My observation while driving on highways is that none of the truck drivers drive in their lanes. Almost everyone can be seen on the right or middle lane, which is meant for cars. We need people to follow rules, especially while driving on the highways.

[@NewstatePlayer100]

Middle lane is not safe because they might change lane or you got stuck in middle if two trucks

[@SiddharthRaiyani]

They don’t have choice. In non access controlled highways left most lane is filled with encroachments, two wheelers, tractors, etc and truck driver needs to drive at fixed speeds without applying much brakes to get profits. Logistics is already costly as it is. But sadly the truck drivers are habituated to drive in right lane that they do it in access controlled expressways too. Will take some time for them to get used to expressways.

National Highways in India are the worst. I just returned from Bombay Mangalore Bombay trip 2500 kms in VW Taigun. NH48 is fkdup. Road levelling is non-existent taking a horrible toll on the vehicle suspensions, not to mention the car going out of control. And this happens at 60/70 Kmph speed. Look at the patch work those bumps on the road, even at 40 Kmph these can damage a car. However, look at the roads where the crooked politicians reside in Ahmedabad Modi, Nagpur Gadkari, Delhi, noida, Gurgaon, Haryana, Punjab, Chandigarh etc. Road quality there is very good. Gadkari just talks. He should be made to travel in a faltu Maruti 10 times a month on NH48. He doesn’t even speak about NH66. This is a useless country and a curse to be born here.

Obviously we have world class roads. Dosa thick narrow roads at many places are great infrastructural breakthrough innovations of India.

[@MrLADVG]

In other countries, heavy vehicles like trucks, buses and tractors take the last lane. However, in India they drive in all lanes at random. Highway patrolling and authorities are sleeping, and offenders are not fined. This is the root cause of the majority of accidents in India, as well as traffic congestion everywhere. Never drive next to trucks and loaded tractors 🚜

[@SiddharthRaiyani]

Highway patrolling isn’t sleeping, it’s non existent in the first place. Govt needs to hire more cops and spend on more patrolling vehicles who really catches the traffic violators. Instead of doing such basics, politicians and Indian public thinks that just keeping on increasing fine amount will achieve any results.

[@drlokanathreddy]

This case the accident happened on opposite side and the container crossed the divider and came to the car side. It can't be predicted by car driver at all what going on opposite side. It's very bad time for them. That's all. Only a wall like divider can prevent this accident. It's impossible.

First, reduce corruption at RTO for issuing driving license, increase the difficulty of driving license exam to higher standards, better education for driving. Second, increase public awareness and emphasize individual responsibility for driving on roads. Third, better engineering of roads to streamline and reduce occurences of accidents, better road turn, dividers. Fourth, better law enforcement, but it's already squeezed tight, so AI cameras to monitor traffic.

Fourth, Severe fines for minor violations to help make observing rules a normal habit

Increasing exam standards wont help. There is no standard training provided by RTO. they are just charging chunks of money for the test.

Issues in Indian roads are many ; 1. Lorry & other vehicles carry heavy loads than permitted. Leading to control factors n fatalities. 2. Heavy vehicles are permitted only to drive at night , drivers are mostly pressurised by transport owners to even drive daytime , drivers most often end up driving 18-20 hours . 3. Lack of maintenance of these big vehicles. 4. Old license policy which needs an update . 5. Lack of civic sense among most of us , every one wants to zoom, without even considering the over taking policy. 6. Last but not least , lack of vigilance from department, we only c police standing at high ways to collect fines from vehicles, than monitoring vehicle movements. 2.

No point of blaming the build quality of the Volvo,Volvo is among the safest cars in the world... instead ,we should blame the incharge government for not putting barrier and not bothering for the safety of roads...

[@Sam-yt9qj]

Blaming the government alone is not justified. We, the people, must take some responsibility as well! Most Indian drivers do not respect lanes. If there are two lanes, sometimes four vehicles try to squeeze in. There ain't enough zebra crossing for pedestrians and people try to cross roads anywhere they want to. Indian roads ain't made for pedestrians but for big vehicles. What is more annoying is random speed bumps instead of enough traffic lights. Many drivers lack a basic sense of driving. I blame the poor academic requirements to obtain a license - hence, many of these drivers have no respect or sense of driving (especially auto drivers and bikers who seldom follow proper road etiquette). Building more highways or expressways can not alone solve the problem of massive roadkills we have in India, equally important is the spread of awareness of civic behavior and stricter penalties and not bribes. In many Western countries, simple life skills such as swimming and driving are part of the curriculum in schools, which we don't have. Many of us, especially those who are from middle-class families and raised in small towns or cities, don't know how to swim. Our parents force us to be academic nerds and get good grades, that's all. I feel disappointed again and again.

Not once has it been addressed that the truck was overloaded. Even if a car slows down, the brakes on the truck are supposed to slow the truck down, not topple it along with the container. If the truck was not overloaded, the overall stability of the truck model should be put in question and all such trucks recalled or banned from loading heavy container. Every single law or rule in India is a Joke!

[@Jetha-Lol]

1st question. Why does these trucks take the overtaking lane when they have the outermost lane reserved for them?

[@user-pan-ga]

Most truck drivers drink and drive and they drive long hours to reach destinations asap. They risk others life’s more than theirs. This truck was over loaded aluminium 60 tons. Driver was driving fast to reach fast and the transporter makes huge money. The trucks are overloaded, over speeding, drivers are drunk and if coughs they pay money and move on. They do this on regular basis and regularly pay and move on. Innocent lives are lost for some people greed of more money.

[@Dhruthron]

This is devastating. Imagine working your whole life buying your dream car. That to Volvo for their family's safety, And just 2 months later your whole family vanishes in split second l. Man this is heart wrenching 💔🥺😓

[@fasttwitch1723]

Its crazy how fast truck and bus drivers drive in India, even in the most congested of places. No one follows the speed limit for LCVs and trucks. We have to blame the roads as well as these negligent drivers. But there union is so strong that no government will dare bringing stringent laws.

[@GurkiratXSingh]

Paying tax in India feels like a loss. There is nothing for the common man and with visuals like these... seems like when the time is not right there is nothing for the rich and wealthy either.

Indians have to change their mindset. For everything, if you have to pay bribes and the govt. officer will ask for bribe, then this country will never change.

[@samirbhalerao5579]

This is being discussed seriously as here a CEO got killed in road accident. But in his place if a village labour or a common man would have died than it may not have hit the news headlines.

[@indianjobseekers2025]

Concerns About Heavy and expensive Vehicle Owners 1. Perception of License to Race or Kill : There are individuals who own expensive and heavy vehicles, and they seem to operate under the assumption that they have a "license to kill" anyone at any time. 2. Driving Behavior: These drivers often behave as if they are on a racing track, disregarding traffic rules and safety. 3. Disregard for Others: They tend to treat their time as more important than that of smaller vehicle owners, showing a lack of consideration for others on the road. 4. Influence of VVIPs and Ministers: This behavior appears to be influenced by the actions and attitudes of VVIPs and ministers, who may set a poor example. 5. Impact on Children: The implications of this reckless driving culture are concerning, especially for children in India, who need safe roads and transportation services. 6. Future Dangers: If this trend continues, it could lead to even more dangerous situations on the roads in the future.

[@amone982]

Truck driver on highway don't follow the lane discipline, they cut the lanes without indicators or do parallel overtake. Overloading. Roads are equally bad, unpredictable potholes, lanes cuts and dangerous speed breakers.🎯🙈

Traffic laws should be strictly enforced

[@arunkumarsarkar2026]

It is not the issue with any Volvo, BMW, Marc or any other car manufacturers. In India, very few people know about the driving rules and specially about highway driving. One needs to follow lane driving as well as the proper distance from the vehicle ahead based on the speed and type of the vehicle. There is a generic rule for distance maintaining as one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three, one thousand four. It follows most of the advanced countries in east n west. This accident occurs due to sudden brake of a Pvt car in the middle of the road looking for something. But the heavy container didn’t maintain the distance and as a result, it got skidded and toppled in the other side of the road. The same happened with the Volvo. It was also not having enough space in the front to avoid collision or put a hard brake. This is a heart braking example and lesson to keep enough distance while driving specially on high speed drive way. 🙏

One of reasons is Slow moving vehicle's drive right side and some idiots to save U turn they drive in wrong directions. Many yrs past Nelmangala to Tumkur highway is 4 lane infact that area traffic is soo much that it should be 8 lanes.

[@helloshuban]

Volvo is one of the safest cars. The problem lies with overloaded and lorry and lack of protocols when driving large overloaded, oversized vehicles . In developed countries abnormal load vehicles have a pilot vehicle in the front and back.

[@graphicventures]

Safe driving education is a must as many are reckless with no respect for life! India seriously needs to address this issue.

[@Travel.Electric]

1.Most of the pedestrian walking is encroached and people walk almost on the roads. 2. To avoid delay people drive in wrong lane. And it results highest number of accidents. 3. Two and Three wheeler never bothered of any type of traffic rules. 4. Rash Driving - Strict Action is not present in Indian Legal framework. Government is not at all serious in implementing Traffic Rules and Traffic Rules Education
