Reckless drivers should be taught lesson

I was deeply saddened and disheartened by the manner in which a young woman, Lulama Farm, was crushed to death by a speeding driver.

I was deeply saddened and disheartened by the manner in which a young woman, Lulama Farm, was crushed to death by a speeding driver.

I asked myself: How on earth does this evil come to happen?

Where was the driver's concentration, what speed was he driving at and was Lulama in the middle of the road? Where was he off to that required that rate of speed?

I wish to appeal to the relevant authorities not to allow bail for this reckless driver who I doubt has a driver's licence. Was the vehicle perhaps stolen?

Could somebody please come up with answers to these questions so that the Farm family can find peace and closure?

The driver must get a heavy fine so that it should become a lesson to all road users to be extra cautious and careful on our roads.
