Speed limit violations by private bus drivers on the rise in Kozhikode
Despite efforts by Motor Vehicles department squads and Traffic police to mitigate road accidents, reckless and rash driving by a section of private bus drivers in speed-limit zones are challenging the safety of schoolchildren and pedestrians in Kozhikode district. Reckless driving on accident-prone roads, especially the Kozhikode-Kannur national highway and Kozhikode-Kuttiyadi road, continue despite the spike in road accidents that had claimed over 70 lives in the past three-and-a-half years in the Kozhikode city limits alone. The remaining drivers are also likely to follow suit due to looming financial crisis in the sector,” said a private bus owner from Pantheerankavu. Though there was a plan to send private bus drivers for training at the Institute of Driver training and Research at Edappal, it has not yet been implemented, officials added.
