While road rage is a common occurence, getting close and personal with a road bully is nonetheless an unnerving experience.
A video showing a woman going off the rails and acting erratically after she got honked at for cutting lanes without warning has gone viral and prompted a police search for her whereabouts.
M’sian woman gets honked for lane cutting, shows the finger
In the video widely circulated on Facebook, it showed a woman driving a Perodua Myvi and aggressively overtaking another vehicle while flashing the middle finger at the other driver.
The situation then escalates further with the woman abruptly braking and repeatedly flashing her hazard lights while waiting at a traffic light in an attempt to provoke the driver.
According to the OP, he claimed the woman suddenly cut into his lane without turning on her signal lights. He also added he was taken aback when she recklessly sped past him as it “put his life at risk”.
Startled by her reckless behaviour, the man honked at the woman, which angered her and led to her winding down the window and showing him the middle finger.
Police looking for woman
The incident has since caught the attention of the police, who were alerted of the incident which took place on Mar 15 at around 4.46pm in Kuching, Sarawak.
According to an official statement, the police said they received a report about the matter on Tuesday (Mar 18) at around 5.50pm from the 18-year-old driver.
