Road Rage Turns Violent Amid Heavy Traffic

Commuters Put at Risk
Such reckless behaviour not only endangers those directly involved but also puts other motorists, pedestrians and commuters at risk. Roads are meant for safe travel, not for settling personal egos. A moment of patience could have prevented the situation from escalating into a potentially life-threatening incident.

Second user commented: “People are already stressed — office punch-in time, heavy traffic, daily pressure. A little patience and empathy can prevent big trouble. Let us pause, breathe, and be kind on the road.”
Third user commented: “Road rage and ego have no place on our streets. Fighting on a busy road endangers everyone—bikers, drivers, and pedestrians. Patience and self-control are key to safe commuting.”
Call for Civic Sense on Bengaluru Roads
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of self-control, civic sense and mutual respect on the roads. With traffic congestion being a shared challenge in Bengaluru, losing one’s temper only worsens the situation.
