No doubt, these cars do look like beasts on the roads. During high speeds, the driver gets unable to take control of the vehicle which results in such incidents. Indian roads are not meant for such monsters and they should be kept out of this country. We need freeways everywhere in order to roam around in these high tech machines.

It’s not the vehicle but who occupies the driver’s seat, I think, makes the difference.

I fell on the road not because the peal of banana was thrown there but because I put my foot on it. Now the question remains who is to blame: me or peal of banana? And the answer is too simple...isn’t it?

Buy it , But have a safe drive .
Otherwise Indian media will not let you go.

You're right Lalit, that Indian roads are not meant for high tech cars but all the blame can not be showered on the roads or the vehicle. Driver holds the maximum responsibility while driving a car. He has to make sure that he drives within a speed limit which he can control.

I agree...If the driver does not have the knowledge of the machinery then he should better sit at the back seat and let some knowledgeable person drive. Or should go and get the proper knowledge before driving such a vehicle.

BMW is a brand I ain’t letting go for any reason. The writer here has rightly made a mention of the fact stating - Car’s don’t drive themselves.

Be more cautious on the road my friend, the wheel’s in your hand... Why shall the brand matter then? Don’t the other brand cars have accidents?

This is weird, why should a car be blamed for bad and drunk driving. Come on guys BMW is a great machine, the safety features in the car are highly commendable, and they just gave their best in saving the driver in all those hit and run cases. Be it a BMW, a Ferrari or even a Maruti, there is no way a car can be blamed for bad driving.

I agree with you Vinod, definitely its a fault of person who are recklessly driving the car, all the cases were discussed in the article are the result of reckless driving and as Kamal pointed about the media. I think media is doing its job, its’ media, who has shown path to jurisdiction, otherwise culprit have left to the foreign, so here Mr Kamal you need to correct yourself about meida.

And about BMW, wish I own it someday,,,,,,,,,

I totally agree with what is written in the article that 'cars don't drive themselves'. Only the driver should be held responsible for such accidents. One has to realize his responsibilities while driving to be careful in every aspect.

The name ’BMW’ is a class in itself. Every other day, we hear of Hit and Run Cases, but we never heard of a headline that read ”Maruti Hit and Run case” or a ”Hyundai Hit and Run case”. Why just BMW be made the victim?

Drive safe - this is what matters the most!

I think here govt should take some responsibility on its shoulders. It should provide separate license for the high tech cars. People should be tested on various grounds including the machinery and the car control and then provide them with the driving license. Not that any 19 yr old or 22 yr old new driver starts driving cars like BMW.

Why just BMW, any car driven rashly will kill people. That's common sense. It has nothing to do with the brand. The only thing that matters is that how well trained a driver is. If he's some new comer in the field of driving, the risk of accidents automatically increases.

Hit and run cases are very much usual in India, for that I feel the machinery is not the one which is to be blamed but the person who drives it. These cool looking cars are a dream of every one, so go buy them but drive slow and safe :-)

The driver has to be blamed for these kind of accidents but we can't deny the fact that the parents give undue liberties to the kids at the age that they don't deserve. Its the basic duty of the parents to think about the consequences of the careless driving of their child. It puts his and other people's lives at risk. they should be blamed either.

True. There are many cases observed worldwide where teenagers slams the cars here and there as they are unable to control them at the high speeds. They either kill people on the road or kill themselves. Parents have to be very careful and should make sure that children are not given any such chance to take risks.

Why there are no accidents or hit-and-run cases of Maruti? We have to see both the “HIT” and “RUN” side. You can easily “RUN” with a super car engine under your bum after the deadly “HIT”. The company too is the culprit if it’s not designing vehicles according to the target users of a country. I’m sure you’ll find most of the drivers on the roads today without license. Ok, that’s a different problem. Moreover, the models, like SUVs or other sports models, should be sold only to specific customers. Which is not possible in India, or is it? In this scenario, how one can ensure that the “Power would always meet Control”. If you’re designing a vehicle for the F1, it’s okay, go ahead. But not the same for the common man in India. BMW can easily introduce a technology to track the driving habits of drivers – including average speeds, frequency of use of breaks and other data – to design cars specifically as per the comfort level of the driver. The car shouldn’t move a single inch the moment it realizes through the breath of the driver that he is under influence. I’m not demanding them to deliver some futuristic vehicle here. This is all possible, especially when they are investing so much on research too. But they have failed to do this; we expect them to do this. They have to meet their sales targets too. Right? This is the main reason of the rising hit-and-run cases and so many deaths of innocent people. When someone commits murder with a local gun, don’t you go and try to catch the suppliers and makers of the weapon?

Frankly speaking there are more than 1000 times hit and run cases from Maruti then BMW.

And any common man can confirm that. The only reason BMW has been accused so much in India, is because media wanted so.

Salman Khan or his driver when drove over people in Mumbai, then which vehicle he was in. If I remember correctly it was not BMW, but Land rover or something.

Why not his vehicle is not in news? Isn`t it strange?
