Saying it "lost tires before the crash", absolves the driver of fault, and places the fault on the car/tires. Which is very wrong, I am not sure if all this is intentional because a VIP family is involved. Read more at: https://www.deccanherald.com/city/be...a-1025359.html |

I wonder what ever happened to the night curfew that's supposed to be imposed in bangalore! As we don't have the details of whether this was a drunken drive case, but driving the car at 1.30AM in the night certainly suggests the occupants might have been to some pub/restaurant which may have been operating beyond permitted time. Just can't imagine that kind of speeds on that road even at 1.30AM in the night. |

You are leaving too big a gap between you and the front vehicle. Not a good way to drive. Slow drivers cause more minor accidents than speedy ones. The gap between the two vehicles is too big, you can see the gap is more than a full length of a bus. |

but a character assassination of people we don't even know, based on 20 seconds of footage is plain wrong. |

Let’s look at this objectively then shall we - Overspeeding Audi q3 at 1:30 am when there is a night curfew. - 7 people with no seat belts inside a 5 seater. - MLAs son, but let’s not be biased here. Most likely the Audi was hard earned. Assuming all the kids were in a hurry for a blood donation drive at midnight, that still does not justify such high speeds on public roads. Drunk or sober. Glad that no pedestrian was killed. |

Could very well be a joyride, after partying at home or probably getting drunk at home (If they were drunk), or could be a simple case of losing control after hitting a pothole at such high speeds. If you see the CCTV footage it also starts raining, and probably was already raining and car lost traction. We can have many different such scenarios. Pubs are not open till 1 am, as far as I know they are closing by 9 pm, and delivering food till 11. The person/persons in the car were certainly in the wrong, no one should speed like that in normal city roads, no matter what time it is, but a character assassination of people we don't even know, based on 20 seconds of footage is plain wrong. |

For BBMP -any accident would lead to a speed breaker or a hump installation project/contract. They probably celebrate accidents as a new project kick off date. |

In a car accident such as the one discussed here, how does insurance work? The car's legal occupancy number is five. There were seven passengers when the unfortunate accident happened. Will the insurance claim be turned down? |
