Road rage. This has been in news a few times in recent times. Sometime back, one of my ex-colleague at Nevis Networks, was manhandled in city while she was driving in her car and happened to rub a motor cycle rider on the wrong side. In broad daylight, on a busy road, she was pulled out of car and slapped by this brave young man a few times. Police complaint followed but I won't be surprised if the case is now forgotten by everybody.
A few months ago, there were a series of events on city roads where traffic policemen were beaten by a few youths. They probably didn't like getting an earful from the cops and decided to give him back something in return. Whoa.
Apparently, this is a global phenomenon. A car driver in US recently got a free ride on top of the hood of a car driven by a road rager:

After seeing this video, I feel a bit scared of going outside on my cycle. If this is what happened in US, anything is possible in India.. :)
