Mengamuk di jalanraya

What you need is some Metal (Heavy, Death, Black or whatever as long as its metal) in your car stereo as study suggest that some doses of Metal music makes you calmer.

Dulu pernah kena macam ni juga, saya ada buat kesilapan memandu. Pakcik (ya, pakcik!) dari kereta tu telah datang ke kereta saya dan maki hamun. Saya buka sikit cermin. Sempat dia tunjal ke dahi saya sekali. Saya angkat tangan isyarat minta maaf. Dia cuba buka pintu tapi berkunci. Nasib baik lampu pun bertukar hijau, saya pun bergerak. Dia folo dan saing tepi sambil jeling tajam dambil mulut kumat kamit. 

Kenapa saya tak melawan? Sebab saya yang salah dan saya minta maaf. Dan kalau saya melawan, salah satu antara dua akan berlaku, dia tersungkur atau saya tersungkur. DAN YANG PALING PENTING, sepanjang masa dalam kereta, hanya muzik Metal yang berkumandang menjadikan saya lebih tenang dan rasiona.

This video of an apparent road rage incident in Malaysia has gone viral over the last few hours. Taken off a dash cam from the vehicle directly behind the scene, the clip shows the violent drama from start to finish. 

While it is unclear what exactly had prompted the exchange, the driver of the Nissan Sentra is seen gesticulating frantically at the old Ford Laser. Shortly after, both cars came to a stop and a bust up ensued. 

The Sentra driver then continued to physically abuse the older man, with what appears to be a small blade/sickle. The confrontation went on for a while, until a passer-by came by to subdue the perpetrator. 

Now folks, as we’ve said before, the best defence against road bullies is to keep your cool and avoid any confrontations with them. 

Before things get out of hand (as it clearly did in this case) it’s best to be on the defensive and not get out of your car in the first place. It may help to you wind down the window a little (but not enough for the person to reach in) and offer a sincere apology, putting your ego aside for a while. MORE
