Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation [Msrtc] — Dangerous driving

I wish to place on record my concern over a driver driving irresponsibly during my travel dadar pune on shivneri

I am making this complaint as a general complaint and not naming the driver or the bus number and other travel details as i wish to address the concern as a systemic issue concerning training of drivers

In the particular instant the driver whilst on the highway cruising at the maximum permissible speed was taking sips of water from his water bottle whilst driving

Again whilst negotiating the ghats was talking on the mobile

Both these acts whilst driving are not only irresponsible but also dangerous as reflex action in the event of an emergency is impaired as also the possibility of loss of control of vehicle owing to diversion of attention

It must be drilled into the consciousness of the drivers during their training and induction period as well as post induction safety education periods that the passengers have reposed their life in his hands as also the co vehicles, their trust, whilst travelling along the same road

Accordingly they must be instructed to drive with both their hands on the steering wheel and eyes on the road with a constant state of attention and alertness!

Thankyou!
