Most local drivers have an appalling lack of common sense, so really, luck was all there was to avoid the trouble. Looks like that early run of luck with the highway accidents is running out. Growing pains starting in seriousness now.

apparently it's a small lorry which had caught fire. Batta engine couldn't handle the high rev for long time?

Here's hoping that we don't have anything serious that involves multiple vehicles.

Hmm another failed...its never easy to achieve even the manufacturer stated maximum 70km/h in a 700cc vehicle with loads. Results are hot .
