Harrowing road rage goes viral on the internet; netizens think there is more to the story

ROAD rage is an inevitable part of traffic jams, bad drivers and two human beings who refuse to compromise.
Usually it is quick and unpleasant, a chorus of honking, angry fists being raised and their departure.
But sometimes, a road rage can become quite spectacular and the result is a viral video worthy of debate and speculation.
Take it from a recent video post by netizen @bckupacc99 which showed a hair-raising scene on the highway.
In the video, a Toyota SUV, likely a Harrier, was driven slowly. At times it would swerve to the left or right, purposefully blocking the car behind.
Incidentally, the victim was recording the scene, at times, crying out when their car nearly collided with the Toyota.
To make it even more aggravating, the driver could be seen signalling to the other cars to move forward while he continued to harass that one particular car behind.
A good number of netizens who watched the video condemned the action.
But netizen @IsmadiZamsuri warned that it was important to find out the full picture first.
Such aggression was likely a reaction from an offense caused by the people who were recording the video.
Then there was netizen @abuhndhlh who wondered if such behaviour could go on unpunished.
Towards this comment, several netizens pointed out that the driver in possession of the number plate was likely a rich person, and that he should have little trouble making under the table payments.
Also, @syazasurayaaa pointed out that the victims could have just followed the rear of the passing cars very closely. 'I think when it involves other cars, he will stop,' she said.
But perhaps the best comment was also the most irrelevant comment and it goes to @onnyakqub who said this was why it was important to learn Mandarin.
'Anyone who wants to learn mandarin should not find me. I don't know,' he said, making a reference to the many Mandarin teachers who flood the comment section of viral videos with their advertisements. —Aug 18, 2025
