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

[@legotelugu]

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.

[@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.

[@priyankarana7791]

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.

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.

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.

Why don't we have crash barriers near the medians on national highways is beyond belief.

In IT companies there is a mandate for all employees to undergo certain compliance training once in 6 months or a year. Similarly the government can mandate all driving licence holders to undergo road safety training online regularly.

[@vivekmurmu995]

RTO be like - Did you say anything? It's invisible and mute. RTO filters out such things, we don't get waste things like that in our environment. ***Pliance. Macha, you can have license without driving, but what is this liance? Such things don't work here da.

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.

[@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.

[@asolomon70]

The Transport Minister of the present government had increased truck load by 25%. Now the trucks which are ancient carry more load which makes them unstable, ruins the road surface and has disincentivised truck owners to upgrade transport to newer heavy vehicles with ABS and traction control

[@Chandra_Sekhar_7]

People driving carelessly and blaming on road = नाच न जाने आंगन टेढ़ा 🤡

[@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. 🙏

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.

[@leojames8857]

Watch the video again. The innova on the left side of the truck is the reason for this tragic accident. Volvo can withstand the collision to which it's designed for. It's the wreckless driving by the Innova driver that caused this tragedy

[@kinganirudh86]

Forget about the volvo car. Why are huge containers, lorries and tippers being allowed inside the city at peak hours? If u see the Bangalore city during day time, half if the vehicles are containers. And this causes a huge traffic jam and accidents

[@ap8672]

Traffic laws should be strictly enforced

[@abhilashpatel6852]

When I moved from bbsr to bangalore, the first thing I noticed is the roads. Worst roads a city can have

[@vivekmurmu995]

You aren't allowed to speak things like that. Anti-National hai yeh ladka. Dosa level thickness ki road mazzak nahi hai banana. Do you even know how many types of Dosas are available in Bengaluru? Can't even spell Bengaluru properly and is complaining about Dosa roads. KUCH BHI.

[@sawi-l3o]

Indian made volvo no quality no safety 😂😅not sweedish😅

[@allidil9264]

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...

[@sameer_sahoo]

Government should add road safety and traffic rules chapter in 9th & 10th class so that everyone gets educated about it.

[@NewstatePlayer100]

But sabko toh ratta marna marks exams improvement saar No scope of improvement

[@Hemantneware19]

Nowadays such and even more horrific accidents only happens in india on mass level, Govt just talk on Road and safety situation improving day by day in and we see each example everyday someone loss their life the system in too corrupt why the fellow citizens doesn't follow Road and safety rules and why govt can't get strict action on them . Hmmm the day never comes , sad but reality.😢

[@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.

[@artyataol]

Volvo is fully safe against collisions not a heavy truck falling on top. Airbags are in front of the driver and passengers, now these will have to be fitted on the ceiling too for Indian conditions😢

[@graphicventures]

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

[@adityaAditya1]

Pls Raise voice 🥺 🙏🏻 India need seperate roads for heavy vehicles. Otherwise it's seems impossible to reduce impact between.... Because of heavy vehicles other small vehicles are always in dangerous situation on roads. also everyone have to follow traffic rules. guys Pls drive safely🙏🏻 #roadsafety

[@lantherpagdi]

even if the govt makes separate roads, everybody will use it. Problem is the people and their mindset otherwise nobody would be driving in the opposite lane.

[@nirvanajay]

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.

[@starsailor2023]

Not just road infra..but also talk of overcrowding

[@bhanutejacirivelu42]

Extremely unfortunate. This is the problem when government doesn't imposes strict rules on over speeding and other road safety rules.

[@rameshb7574]

Another thing to note here is, most truck drivers drive in fast lanes. Such accidents will not happen if drivers follow proper lanes and maintain safe distance.

[@sharpsatish4u]

Fines.. punishment.. need to be enforced. Not just when accidents happen but all the time..

[@Itsmepanda21]

Guard rails at the median could have made a difference and prevented the truck entering opposite lane

[@GhostRider-ms1ep]

SO SAD TO HEAR THIS .

[@SandY___]

😮😮😮

[@SujeetKumar-sp6qj]

Volvo is indeed the safest vehicle. None of the crash test has Container put on top of the cars and tested. Only crash test is validated under different set parameters. This accident is the freakest & painful i have seen in recent times

[@bothamreddy]

My wife doesnt know to ride car . But she got a combo licensce. Am also to blame for this. But seeing the system . I dont intend to be honest as simple as such

[@The_Disciplined_man]

Road accident can be avoided by well skilled drivers. And by RTO and traffic police. RTO should never issue driver license without proper driving tests. Traffic police should investigate each and every vehicle which is not wearing seat belt, or modified by high quality headlights, horn. Bike riders without helmet, DL should be checked of all types of vehicle and if they didn't issued DL they should be jailed and fine atleast 5k bike 10k cars under 20 lakh. 50k for above 30lakhs Overloaded trucks, pickup, or tractor should banned 🚫 strictly. Over speeding should be fined. I support traffic police.

[@sangeethakesavan]

Similar thing happened to us few years ago. Car going in high speed in opposite direction lost control and hit the divider and fell very closely to our car jumping over divider. Divider reduced the speed of the car and it lander few inches from our car. Otherwise we would have been in news channel only.

[@BhagyarajK-r1x]

Car is safe but bangalore roads are not safe .. Because karnataka govement .. Intrested to IT companies ..pubs 😂😂😂 but not interested to maintain bangalore city roads...and traffics .. Come and learn chennai... Cities

[@katcguru5370]

If the car was without sunroof the body structure could have been more strong atleast few lives could have been saved. Ban sun roof in all cars..Safety of lives is more important than look

[@danish123d]

I got my license in 2008. Since then not a single scratch or cut for any vehicle from my end. Completed 130000km on my Bajaj Discover And 44000km on Tata nano. Car was hit by someone when it was parked. Education is very important. Also we should be responsible for other while driving. I never drive my car or bike above 70kmph Hence I had very good control and time to take action. For avoiding accident. I feel I am lucky. But still if we follow rules we can avoid 95% Accident. RIP to the family. 😢

[@ravindrawaghela9072]

Two things : 1) road design is not done properly anywhere in India. It requires stringent standards, safety oriented and ergonomically designed. 2) Anywhere in India, people don’t care about rules. When they drive they think it’s their right to drive. It should be a PRIVILEGE not a RIGHT !

[@ArgonDavid]

Volvo is the topmost safest vehicle in the World. Container load and transportation of Logistics containers is always a safety hazards. Drivers work timings and stress on work also another issues. 🙏

[@praveemk]

People driving recklessly is also a main reason, not just infrastructure or car build quality. Lack of common sense
