Are the private buses of Kerala untouchable?

I used to drive daily on the Thalassery-Vadakara stretch of the NH, and the private buses on the Kannur-Kozhikode route are a nightmare. These guys ride into your lane like it’s their janmavakasham, leaving you two choices—either brake and let them go or don’t brake and end your life. It’s insane. And there are instances of buses racing each other leaving us other drivers on the road to their mercy. I work in an emergency department, and it’s not just road rage—it’s literal carnage. Almost every week, we get at least one bus accident case. Back in June, three college girls ended up in the ER because a bus ploughed into the bus stand they were standing at during its usual maranapachal. Its not just the roads, even the roadsides are not safe thanks to these maniacs. In the same month there was a case of two buses crashing into each other and all the passengers had come to our ER. It’s like these buses are untouchable. Are the police and government just turning a blind eye? Is there some sort of mafia running this whole thing? How else do they get away with this level of recklessness every single day? Edit: And they started a panimudakkam 4 days ago because the police has said they will start levying heavy fines on them. The audacity, they know they won’t stop speeding and rash driving, they know the fines are inevitable. They’d rather deliberately put our lives at risk than be a safer driver. Absolute scums.
