The dreaded highway - Chennai - Bangalore

Though one of the best highways to cruise through to reach Bangalore in the comfort of your vehicle, it is by far the most dangerous.

Especially close to SriPerumbudur where majority of the accidents occur with Truck drivers who cruise 80+km/hr.

This brings to focus the importance of wearing a seat belt. Uncomfortable as it may seem, and not just an extra accessory in the car. It is the best life-saver one could think of.

The driver and the front passenger must make it a point to wear it for sure. Even it is important for the back seat passengers to wear. When travelling with children, you absolutely have to wear it.

I wish that as perfect the government is in collecting tolls at 5+ toll booths, they must have someone check that the seatbelts are fastened. Have more ambulances ready at the toll booths.
