  53. Should we say its the sign of the-end-of-time or our drivers are reckless? Sometimes it might also be the poor conditions of our roads that contributes to these accidents.

    1. The problem is not training period but attitude of some drivers which unfortunately is untrainable. You are in a mini bus and you advise a driver that he is overspeeding nde iye akuyankha ‘ngati mwanyasidwa sikani.’ The way to go is authorities should start withdrawing licences from those drivers reported to have bad attitude. We could save lives.

    3. Penanso vuto ndi misewu.

      Misewu ikungokumbikabe chaka ndi chaka siikupangidwa maintenance koma oyendetsa galimoto akufuna liwilo lomwe adazozowela .
