Speed Kills....does 40KmPh too??


Now, now, a civil engineer from Pune had come down to Mumbai to wirte a piece on the notorious stretch of road on the Eastern Express Highway for the Marathi Vidynan Parishad. Little did the good man know that he might get a hands on experience; he too ended up as a victim. A victim of MMRDA's callousness. Thankfully no lives were lost. Though a couple of days before, a tanker carrying asphalt had upturned at the Godrej Junction again.





The great news was that MMRDA finally decided to probe the skidding but they still blame the motorists for speeding. The Engineer was driving at 40 KmPh!! Need I say more??

The Monsoon has Arrived

136 Accidents in 4 days!!! And 66 of them at the Godrej Junction!! And more than 200 cases of skidding since the monsoon..Though very high, this is not statistics for the whole of Bombay City. I am talking about a small stretch on the Eastern Express Highway!!




I know our safety was last on the priority for the Government , but isn't this a bit too much??

Seems like the BMC cripples more people than Polio.
