“it’s unfortunate that 28 lives were burnt beyond recognition in the fatal accident caused excessive speeding and traffic violations.


“The contract between drivers and passengers is to take them safely to their destinations after they have paid, not drive them to their graves.


He added that drivers must always exercise patience on the highway.
