    “Roads are so unsafe now. THe traffic chaos is increasing. eventually we will have to take to the skies as there wont be any more space for cars to drive or anywhere to park them. it should be a legal requirement for all vehicles to have automatic safety assistance which prevent loss of control. I think the vehicle manufactures should be more responsible and be made to have collision avoidance systems by law. we should not allow cars which carry fragile human beings without some kind of collision avoidance system. In my opinion these vehicles are not safe to carry people simply by not having a collision avoidance fail safe system. Tougher rules should be imposed on car manufactures as at the moment they are allowed to build vehicles with no anti crash features. we need to devise a system which is faultless.”
