Social media users debate reasons behind crash

Many people online shared their opinions about why drivers lose control in such situations.

Some users blamed speeding and reckless driving. Others pointed towards mobile phone distraction, fatigue, lack of driving skills, poor vehicle condition and badly maintained roads.

A user said the vehicle itself may have had problems, adding that many vehicles in India are not roadworthy.

Another user listed common driver mistakes such as excessive speed, panic over-correction, sudden acceleration, distracted driving, fatigue and drowsiness.

One social media user claimed the driver had an empty road ahead but still crashed into the roadside area, while another said even 70 kmph can be dangerous on such roads.

Several users also mentioned mobile phone use while driving. Some suggested the driver may have dozed off during an early morning drive. Others questioned how driving licences are issued so easily despite poor driving standards.

Another user said long drives, heat, tiredness and distractions together create dangerous situations on Indian roads.
