Reckless driving costs many lives

A few days ago we were returning to Dhaka from Cox's Bazar by a non AC night coach. The journey was very unpleasant. The driver was driving recklessly. Every second we thought that anytime an accident could take place. I cannot possibly describe the terror. The bus was running at high speed, literally bouncing on the highway. Our heads were banging on the windows all the time. But some passengers were sleeping on their seats, relaxed and without worry. This is how many passengers sleep peacefully, leaving it all in fate's hands. No wonder fatal accidents take place on the highway almost every day.

Reckless driving has to be stopped. Nothing is more precious than life.
