Move to halt buses that flout road safety rules
TIRUNELVELI
With the private and the government buses blatantly continue to flout road safety rules and halt these passenger vehicles right on the highway even at unscheduled stops situated on the stretches being used every day by the top officials, the police are planning to crack whip against the erring bus drivers to ensure the safety of every road user.
Drivers of almost all private and the TNSTC buses flout the road safety rules in Tirunelveli and Palayamkottai at will even as the police are witnessing it. The private bus drivers manoeuvre the buses at high speed, park them right on the busy roads to drop or take passengers, and stop them at unscheduled stops suddenly ignoring the following vehicles’ safety etc. If someone asks them to follow the rules, the unruly drivers would just threaten and abuse him.
