Road rage incidents are on the rise in Indian metropolitan cities, especially Bengaluru. Recently, an altercation between a car and a two wheeler riders in Bengaluru's HSR Layout drew significant attention online. A viral dashcam video captured a tense exchange between the car driver and a scooter rider causing a brief traffic jam. The clash started when the scooter rider tried to maneuver between the car and the road divider, accidentally scratching the car. The footage shows the agitated driver stepping out of his vehicle, shouting at the rider, and momentarily appearing to raise his hand as if to strike—though he ultimately refrains.
