Mangalore : The authorities have often warned motorists against speaking over their cell phones while driving. Still many dare to do so, least bothered about the risks involved.

In one such incident reported from near Pumpwell in Mangalore on July 4, Thursday, four persons in a car including its driver had a narrow escape when the car almost landed on a drain while the driver was busy speaking over his cell phone and holding the steering on the other hand.

It is learnt, the Maruti Ritz car with three passengers and a driver was about to be parked outside a hospital at Pumpwell when suddenly it went out of control. The car almost landed on the drain  and stopped at the nick of time or else certainly the situation might have been worse. Luckily none were hurt and those inside the car managed to pull the vehicle towards safety.
