    Road safety should be one’s prime important thing, especially when weather conditions are awkward.

    And you put all the responsibility on the individual, disregarding the provision of proper infrastructure.

    I don’t support any party related to providing u roads or what.. yet an accident on a highway in moisture and foggy conditions is almost due to one’s negligence in vehicle’s over speed, his lack of alertness or time of the day/night. Accidents like this in foggy conditions too happen in USA and England on well maintained highways.
