I was shocked. Twelve people killed and 40+ more injured in a bloody road carnage yesterday. A bus literally flew across the road divider and rammed against a van, a car and another bus travelling on the opposite side of the road!
That bus driver must be driving at more than 120 km/hr!
Our road is no longer safe to travel, even if you drive so ever carefully and following all traffic rules. You never know that one fine day a maniac driver just fly in and knock you dead in your badly crushed car.
We just never learn from such road horrors. Memories linger just for a couple of hours, then it will be to normal - speeding like hell.
I think it is high time that all public transport be locked at 90 km/hr. Period.

Heard about the mentioning of black box installation on all buses umpteen times! Despite changing of multiple transport ministers over the years, nothing has been seriously done! This is the problem of just talking without implementing a simple thing of just a black box, not to mention about other more complicated projects!
I don't mean the black box...what I meant was can't JPJ or PUSPAKOM or whatever design bus engines that will stop when the speed is above a certain limit...say 90 km/hr
My point is, would it be easier to enforce the requirement of making it mandatory for these bus companies to install the readily available black boxes compared to the more complicated designing of bus engines that could stop automatically and dangerously!
I am no engineer Martin...just do something that is practical and does not need much enforcement...
