Accidents on expressway due to reckless driving, says MP

Rebuffing criticism that the Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway was scientifically flawed, Pratap Simha Mysuru MP, said here on Wednesday that all the accidents taking place on the road were due to reckless driving.

He told mediapersons that a section of the media was describing the infrastructure project as a ‘’killer road’’ without analysing the reasons for the accidents and added that such labelling was erroneous and false.

‘’People should be aware of the optimal speed limit of their vehicle beyond which it can become unstable. The expressway is designed for an optimal speed of 120 kmph but not many vehicles are steady at high speed and the motorists should be conscious of the upper speed limit and drive cautiously,” said Mr. Simha.
