Why are road rage cases on the rise in Bengaluru?

[@likhisuryan7201]

My son faced road rage on his way to work a few months back. The auto driver kept honking but since the road was narrow, my son couldn't give space, this man blocked my son's scooter and even before he could react or realise, that man gave several blows on my son's face, resulting in bleeding. My son did register a case with the police but nothing has been done nor the culprit booked. Hence, not expecting anything from the police who is supposed to maintain law and order.

[@neerajazad123]

Have a camera to record or that kind of accessory for scooter

[@SenorSol]

Why would anyone be surprised this is happening? Driving standards in India are very low, driver education is extremely poor, and law enforcement is very lax. No one is taught not to beep constantly, no one is taught driver courtesy and consideration for others on the road, and bad behaviour on the roads is not punished. Road rage, and road fatalities, are the inevitable result. Drink-driving is also a major problem in India!

[@avi2125]

But that is the same condition in *every* city - of roads, traffic rules etc. I have not really faced this even in "uncivilized" Delhi...and I am on the road a lot - of course some gaali-galauj sometimes but generally that's it...

Highly educated senior executives have road rage. Back in 2021, it took an hour to cross Silk Board Junction and everyone took the BTM Layout shortcut. A VP in Accenture threatened to break my windshield because my stationary car had apparently rammed his bumper. I showed him that the engine wasn't even idling, and the handbrake was pulled, but to no avail

[@v2posiedon]

I follow/remember these whenever I step into my car: 1. Understand that scooty people and Yulu drivers (mostly delivery folks) have ZERO road sense and can come in front of my car, anywhere, anytime. If they hit my car, it is ALWAYS my fault as I have a car and they are poor, ah! 2. The nexus of BBMP, BWSSB will ensure we are always entangled in this continuous development (read unplanned development and destruction) spree for a better tomorrow (achhe din), which in the last 15 years of myself in Bengaluru, is yet to arrive, so its my responsibility to be aware of the sudden potholes, humps etc. and drive carefully. 3. There are four distinct kinds of traffic signals I've observed here - a. Proper signal which is visible from far with a countdown timer (a rare breed). b. Signal which is hidden from plain sight, playing hide-n-seek with no countdown timer, so an element of surprise along with the cop awaits you! c. Signal opening for literally 10 seconds whereas the other one opens for 40 (Sony world signal Koramangala, coming from Maharaja side). d. No signal as the area is extremely convoluted (basically a pure mess by whoever planned), so people are driving using mutual understanding! In all these cases, I try to be SLOW and watchful and forget that I am part of the rat race with a million others, so let them win and take the trophy! 4. Chhapris are everywhere in India, they can ride a Thar or an Activa. And then there are people in extreme hurry as if they will miss the most important event of their life, so I let them pass. If they block the road doing a wheelie or some other stunt, I try staying patient as an altercation of any form never ends well. I usually dream of ramming and running over all these degenerates on a Hummer, but as I said, I restrict these thoughts in my dreams only. 5. Try avoiding late night travel within the city, as much as possible. There is no point in becoming a keyboard warrior later by showing your rights, sharing your angst across all social media platforms, blaming administration after an event has happened. 6. Never trust an auto's side indicators. They will blink right, swerve towards the left, then go straight with the blinker on. Lastly, always remember, we are in a country where an underage driver kills two innocent lives with his Porsche travelling at 160+ kmph and gets bail, so law and order are just for the privileged class in this country (exceptions do exist though). Since I don't belong to those echelons of the society, nor do I own a Maserati or have the power to change the system, I try to remain vigilant, calm and drive with a no-rat-race mentality. You may call me lucky, but I personally never experienced a single road rage in the last 3 years while driving my car here in Bengaluru.

[@soureenplodh7729]

True i do the same. If someone suddenly stops and parks his vehicle in front of me. I just take the reverse give an indicator and move ahead without saying anything. Because i know it's a waste of my time.

He kept hitting my vehicle with his first and tried to open the door and smash the window. He did it for quite a long time when my vehicle was stuck in traffic. When I started shooting on my mobile he stopped attacking and started shooting me instead. This is so horrifying that we come to a different city to work, pay the taxes and offer with no safety.

Honking unnecessary has become a major problem. I see people honking when the front vehicle is also stuck in slow moving traffic and the behind vehicle wants the front vehicle to give way for him. I think it is basically lack of knowledge or some ego problem....i face this issue everyday on the road...i just ignore and move on since it is impossible to correct everyone on the road.

I was almost attacked last weekend in Bangalore. Many are intolarant towards othertravelers & lacks sense on driving.Especially once they figure out, you don't have ground support or if you are not fluent in local language to fight back. Finally, I was forced to pay 2500/- for a wrong-lane movement done by a local's car. I had to oblige after 30 minutes as he isn't willing to come to the police station, and he gathered local support & force me to pay. As no police turn up after calling 112 even after 30-45 minutes. My aged father who came for a short visit for Dassara festival trip to mysure , couldn't withstand the trauma . Police is not taking strong actions, which makes these like frequent events. I also do have a car recording, but not sure how much it's worth once you follow up with the police. Most people convince you not to go police station and waste another set of money !

The biggest challenge I've faced in my 10 years of driving has mostly been dealing with uncooperative and arrogant auto drivers. They rarely admit their mistakes and tend to be argumentative, often behaving as if they are above the law. They frequently refuse to make way for other vehicles, causing unnecessary congestion. Their unions often exacerbate the situation rather than helping. The Bengaluru police need to be more vigilant and proactive in addressing their nuisance and curbing traffic violations.

I urge every car owner to drive responsibly & with patience as we share more space on road than pedestrians and two wheelers. Over time we should learn the local tongue which is more advantageous. Most of these road rages can be mitigated with above actions from our end. Our casual approach on road triggers a lot of negative behavior by people riding around our car. I drive a car everyday during day and night as & when I have to go out, from a different state. I accept it as a part of driving in city and I don't blame others in most circumstances and engage in honking, speeding, overtaking in inappropriate way. I settle things in a calmer tone.

I didn't think too much of it... But when the bike arrived, both the auto drivers came up to the bike and asked him to cancel the trip.. they wouldn't allow the bike to pick me up.. when I protested they literally threatened me saying this is Bangalore, if you don't back down ,you won't even be found tomorrow.. The bike driver also got scared and drove away.. the auto drivers casually walked back to their auto as of nothing happened...

[@balavigneshbaliah1545]

My Observation: part of this road rage comes from - moving too slow, No lane discipline, finding gaps to fill in- by the following type of vehicles- BMTC Buses, Autos, Two wheelers, Cargo LMVs, Cars with too many distractions, and shear negligence. I would choose moving too slow when there is an empty road ahead, and lack of presence of mind on the road. Most people don't look at other drivers to understand where they want to go. This increases confusion sub consciously which leads to slowing down the vehicle. Simply understanding and moving would solve the issue. Not putting an indicator is only a problem when the other person depends only on the indicator to see where the entire vehicle is moving. One has to look at the person piloting the vehicle to understand where that person wants to go, take a second to align oneself on the lane and keep moving in sync. I see rarely few do that, usually good cab drivers and some auto drivers. Communication between the vehicles is important. Simply pouncing upon a guy who just wanted to turn right or left isn't going to solve anything to anybody anywhere, causing only more vehicles to pipe up behind one. I request the media to give in suggestions of solutions to this rather than just reporting the incidents as well. People see you guys and they need to understand what they can do personally to improve our commute everyday. Let's have no ego, no status, no violence, no misunderstandings and no accidents like Bengaluru roads were sometime before. We need to educate people

ROAD RAGE: Majority of the road rage incidents involve a two wheeler. Road rage is caused because of: 1. Not able to afford a 4 wheeler - hence jealousy & hatred, 2. poor financial background hence enjoy abusing 4 wheeler drivers or expensive vehicle riders 3. Maybe these people own second hand or third hand vehicles 4. Trying to rob others by abusing and asking them to lower car glasses, 5. Maybe kidnapping the rich car owner

Surprised to see the police commissioner taking this so lightly & proposing some very basic rules to avoid getting into road rage. Unless the police takes serious action to jail such offenders & there is fear of law, nothing will change in Bangalore or any other city. This is very normal for high heeled, cab drivers, auto drivers & politically well connected to disrupt others from using the road and claim ownership.
