The criminal is the minister and his government who still do not listen to the pleas of the people. Trucks are driving in complete insanity with total disregard for the safety of other road users and if you make as little as a complain, you will get seriously lambasted by the driver and his colleagues. Where are the cameras, where are the police patrols, where are the road laws that must be enforced to protect the population? In recent months the situation has worsened even more, yet one sees absolutely NO STATE presence to return some sanity on the roads. What is being waited, for crash survivors and their relatives to take the law into their hands and start lynching offenders? Or for vengeance killings to start taking place? Who will blame the people if and when it starts. I blame this puppet government for failing on every thing it promised. It's fake, period.

It would have reduced the possibilty of the accident happened , yes, but not stopped it. But, hit and run could have happened either way. It happens evety where and has nothing to do with driver license ligitimacy, road condition, driver respecting the code. It was based on the morals of the criminal.
