Yea, the driver did commit a mistake. Driving at that speed in Kathmandu's road, that too after drinking, is a serious mistake. But I think that the pedestrians' carelessness has also contributed to this accident. Out of the 6 people killed, 4 were walking on the footpath, but 2 were walking in the middle of the road...Well, the road was almost empty as it was already past midnight....But does that mean that one should walk in the middle of the road, instead of the footpath? The speeding car first hit those 2 people walking in the middle of the road, lost control, then hit the wall of the bhotahity subway, broke the iron bar and then hit the other 4 on footpath...If all of those people had been walking on the footpath, perhaps this kind of serious accident might not occured at all...Just my thought...Though its natural to sympathize with the victims, no matter what...
