Failed brakes, drivers’ fault

Editor,

In your issue of yesterday, I saw a picture of an Onatracom bus that had overturned around Prince House as a result of failure of the braking system.

I would to say this is completely the drivers’ or Onatracom bus company’s fault. The bus companies have a habit of taking long to service their vehicles thus putting people’s lives at risk.

Well, if traffic police is to curb such accident rates that arise as a result of carelessness, then sensitising  owners of bus companies  on the need to service vehicles should be the first step. If this is not done, then similar cases are bound to happen in future.
