FATAL express bus accidents have become such a regular feature in Malaysia that it is time we take affirmative action to deal with the carnage and prevent more children from being orphaned and families from losing their breadwinners.

Often the bus driver is found, after the accident, to have committed numerous traffic offences over the years prior to the accident.
