Dangerous toll road

Dangerous toll road

From Merdeka

Accidents on the Cikampek toll road involving buses, cars and
trucks claim a considerable number of casualties every month.

These people paid toll fees only to die later.

Jasa Marga should do some research and find out what causes
these fatal accidents. Is it because some are driving too fast or
perhaps due to mechanical failures?

Inter-city bus accidents are often caused by human error,
drivers falling asleep at the wheel, for example. Accidents could
surely be reduced if inter-city buses from Java using the toll
road were made to take breaks to prevent them from becoming
sleepy.

Drivers of private cars should be reminded to maintain their
vehicles. Are they in good shape and steady on the road? If
necessary, toll road employees should remind drivers as they pass
through the toll booths to make sure they are in sound condition.

We hope that the toll road is kept safe for everyday
transportation and that it loses its reputation as a "killer
road".
