Two occupants of the car immediately rushed the woman to Shatabdi Hospital in an auto. The doctors declared the woman dead.

The learner driver at the wheel, was accompanied by a companion sitting next to him. The learner accidentally pressed the accelerator and the woman perished in the horrific scenario. One cannot have learner drivers ‘practising’ on our roads. The driver should have been in a driving school car, which has a second set of brakes for the companion who is teaching him. The learning part simply does not work in our city, with its crowds and traffic. Learners will naturally tend to panic and get confused, leading to accidents and humongous tragedies as in the Kandilvi case. The drivers must take the wheel only after learning extensively in a driving school with experts.

Companions, friends, relatives are not teachers and cannot be teaching people to drive cars. Keep the learning for the schools. Lives cannot be brought back and at times, limbs may be lost, too, for the injured changing so many lives in an instant.
