The road out of Eilat to Ovda is not dangerous.
I have seen more dangerous and scarier roads in Switzerland, Italy, Yugoslavia or Greece to name a few.
These 10kms are challenging but if you are awake, focused and careful, it should not be a problem at all. Egged drivers go through this patch every day without problems.
With 22 prior road tickets, one can imagine the driver was probably over confident and not careful enough, but that is to be determined only after investigation.
In any case, DO NOT BLAME THE ROAD.

"come to Israel
let us pay the bill.
if the terrorists don't get you
the bus drivers will."

3. 22 Previous citations?
How anyone with 22 previous citations is allowed to drive professionally is beyond me.

Condolenses to the family of the dead. With 22 traffic accidents, something must be done before too late for the next crash.

My deeply felt condolences to all family involved, friends and co workers. I am ashamed that this driverwas allowed to drive a bus with so many traffic violations. Too much slack everywhere is allowed and the results are tragic.

This isn't a situation that's unique to Israel. We've had cases of drivers in this country who end up killing innocent people and it turns out they've had numerous citations in the past...and that's only the times they've been caught.

the bus driver should be locked up and the key thrown away, If the investigation shows that the second driver did not slow down to let the bus overtake him, then he should also be locked up>>>but of course it will never happen in this country.

How do they get the licence, I get the feeling corruption is picking up and Police needs to do their frequent checks. This is diaster in country like Israel.

11. Why be mad at Israel?

The Russian spokesman says that : "The people aren't mad at Israel". Why should they? Can anyone please explain why such a statement needs to be made? Now what is the investigation all about, that Russia "trusts" Israel? There was no fowl play here, just a tragic accident.

13. My deepest condolences to loved ones and survivors

I also believe that the Russian authorities handled the aftermath of this tragedy with sensitivity and respect to Israel.
