Express bus accident again!

I am saddened of reading over and over the news about express bus crashed, which recently happened on Tue, 14th Apr (theStar). It is not the first time we hear this news. Based on the investigations reported, the driver and co-driver have eight and six summonses respectively! Six lives have lost and many injured due to the collision, one of them is pregnant woman. Why does our Government has done nothing seriously especially against the bus operator company. My point of view is that the authority should check regularly on the bus company of their quality services rendered and drivers record if any summonses ever issued to them. The government should enforce strict regulations to the bus operating company, to ensure the drivers hired must have valid driving licences and clean record. The company also must play their important roles. However by looking at this case, it is obviously the bus company neither act nothing nor take any action after the drivers who have old summonses record and still allow them to drive on the road. It is very clear to judge that these reckless drivers have bad driving attitudes on the road. At the end of the day, after many lives have lost and injured, then only by blaming each other.This is very pathetic of human attitudes.

I used to drive often to outstation, mostly Penang for job assignment. I have seen many and most of the time the express buses are just faster than my car, even as I drive at 110km/h. I definitely worry for those passengers' safety inside the bus.
