One tough action - impound the vehicle! Will fix it, however, corrupts may let the rider go for peanuts ...

一个顽固的行为，扣留车辆就可以矫正了。
然而，腐败会为了蝇头小利放了这些司机。

India has so much population. Let them use mobile phones while driving and not wear helmets. Let rhem meet with accidents and die. Good option for population control. Mobile driving deaths 2100, Children deaths in three states: 1000, Beef murders : 100. All good for population control.. Jai Modi

印度人口太多了。让他们开车时使用手机且不戴头盔好了。
让他们出车祸并死掉。有助于人口控制。
2100个人死于驾驶，三个州的孩子死了1000人，牛肉谋杀了100个人。
这些都有助于人口控制。莫迪必胜~

I can tell you about 80% drivers/ riders use mobile phone while driving. These idiotic people is so careless that even u press horn then can''t listen & extremely dangerous . There should be stricter possible laws for these nasty people by confiscating mobile, license, fine & jail all together at a time.

80%的司机在驾车时使用手机。这些蠢货太粗心大意了，即使你们按喇叭他们不会听，太危险了。
对这些讨厌的人，应该实施更严格的法律，一次性没收手机、许可证、罚款并监禁。

如果白痴们没脑子避免在开车时打电话，那就该死。这些白痴不值得同情。
