The Story in Brief
A 42-year-old woman drowned in a pond in Kolkata on Tuesday while practising driving. The woman lost control of her car, which plunged into the waterbody in the Kasba area.
Rescuers pulled the car out, finding the woman's body inside with her face towards the rear hatch and legs near the steering wheel. NDTV reports the incident occurred during a routine driving lesson.
The Indian Opinion
This tragedy is not just a mishap but a reminder of how ill-prepared learners and instructors often are for emergencies. Many driving schools in India skip basic safety drills, focusing only on passing the test. Will this death prompt the transport department to mandate water egress training for all driving instructors? That concrete step could save lives.
