Bengaluru: After Deputy CM Govind Karjol blamed good roads for accidents, Union Minister DV Sadananda Gowda on Thursday said that if the roads are good then youngsters will drive at high speeds on them.
“Youngsters…their accelerator will be in their hand or in their legs…It will be more and more used on good roads not on bad roads,” Sadananda Gowda was quoted speaking India Today TV.
Amid calls that the government should first improve road infrastructure before imposing hefty fines for traffic violations, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Govind Karjol on Wednesday, September 11 had said good roads were responsible for accidents.
Karjol, who holds the Public Works portfolio, was responding to reporters in Chitradurga on why the penalties should be exorbitant when the ‘pathetic’ infrastructure was causing accidents.
Good roads and not the bad roads are responsible for accidents. If you see our highways, vehicles move at a speed of 100 kmph or 120 kmph, the Deputy Chief Minister said.
