Helmets – use quality ones and follow road rules

Posted on Updated on

Helmets – While enforcing the helmet rule, Traffic authorities should make sure that proper quality helmets are being sold. And considering cases of road side vendors, they should join hands with appropriate standards authorities to ensure that the standards noted on these helmets are genuine and approved. The photo attached is an example of a rider here in UAE, who is carrying a helmet for him as well for his partner. Many times we see pillion riders not wearing helmet and the rider riding extremely fast cutting dangerously through the city traffic and that through the roads with numerous potholes and bumps.

Ride and Reach home safe.

Border Tree – and road perils on Tamilnadu Kerala border

Posted on Updated on

Border tree – photo by Rajashree Menon
This is a tree which is situated on the National Highway road and at the border connecting Kerala and Tamilnadu through Coimbatore. For several years it has been lying in the same state, no leaves, no changes, just the same as it is. In front of it, a half constructed bridge too. Just like the tree, it has also been there as a memorial. I do not know what is the problem, or who is behind the agony of the half constructed road and bridge in this sector. One could drive down from Bengaluru to the border of Coimbatore within 6 hours by road. But, one need lot of patience and luck to get from there to Trichur, at least within 5 – 6 hours of road time. 
As a regular, who love to drive from Bengaluru to Kerala, I feel the second sector mentioned above, one need lot of luck to drive and get through. 
Trucks, especially tankers, oil and gas, are impatient after a long wait. Include the long bodied heavy trailers who transport automobiles. They drive hard and rash, just to cover the long wait at the Tamilnadu Keala border. Result, many times, is an accident.
God bless all those who drive on this road.
