hrm Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 And it happened right in the bend. I saw the full video in news and the Jeep came on the wrong side right from the beginning overtaking 3-4 vehicles in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity the bus driver didn't simply push the Prado out of his way and drive off, he does have steel bumpers on the bus after all... On 9/4/2015 at 12:36 AM, Kavvz said: I couldn't disagree more.If everyone jumped out of their cars and beat up other drivers for violating road rules it'd be anarchy, As annoying as bus drivers and tuk-tuks are I don't think anyone has the right to beat them up...nor should we promote such idiotic behaviour. Its a shame the other bus drivers or people who saw the incident didn't stop to help out / fend off the thugs in the Prado. Err... Kavvz, aren't you invalidating your point in comment 1 with the comment 2 If the bus can push a vehicle aside because its got steel bumpers and was in competition with another, on the public road (for a few more rupees), isn't it a ironically synonymous to beating up the driver or conductor of the bus? In SL, buses are usually above the traffic laws (political or government officials are the owners). Even if they were charged with a violation, they will go on strike and the cop would be transferred. So, it is inevitable that sometimes those who violate the law will meet their match on the road, and get a good beating! Cause and effect nothing more...! You reap what you saw!

I'm not sure if he let go off the throttle but you can see he does try to give way but the road is too narrow. Plus the Defender was moving way too fast the bus driver wouldn't have had much time react bdw another similar accident almost happened but in this case by trying to avoid oncoming vehicle this guy almost crashed on a parked three wheel watch this https://www.facebook.com/srilankantrafficviolations/videos/420376198152274/?pnref=story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant was rather than get beat up by the thugs in the Prado, he should have pushed the jeep put of the way and driven off (to the nearest police station) asap for protection. Perhaps that's too aggressive but its what I would have done, and really if someone's looking to assault me, personally speaking damaging private or public property in my attempt to protect myself is in my mind- justifiable... I'm not condoning street racing or highway code violations to pick up passengers but I don't believe that individuals ever have the right to take the law into their hands. As Pericles points out; the system may be broken or corrupt, "but the attempt should be the fix the system, not go outside the system" else things get worse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
