At D3. It only takes 1 idiotic driver to cause an accident. One of them might have been in the right and tried to avoid it. You can't blame both of them.

A huge death toll in which no lessons will be learned and no problems will even be acknowledged by the law makers here.
D3 you are right, these drivers are idiotic and their recklessness / selfishness has broken up potentially 10 different families. There are road policing units on that road but all they seem to do is stop and check vehicles for contraband.. Giving some education and ticketing for unsafe loads and bad driving is surely a bigger priority

Riding in the back of a pick-up is not safe. Of course, everyone knows that.
