Road Bullies

Imagine this. You are stuck in some traffic jam in the middle of concrete building jungle. This is your final opportunity you got whereby you have to present some important paper work to your new clients, coming late will cost you being scold by your boss. And the worst scenario, you probably are going to lose your job.

The air tensions around you are getting heavy and heavier. It’s feels like the tensions in the air are going to explode in your head. The grips of hands of yours’ are getting tighter, showing the presence of stress.

Can you imagine what will happen after that?

In my opinion, road bully is also one of the forms of displacement aggression. The driver kept blaming on each others’ fault, but in a wrong way. Make some noise, keep bumping each other, and last but not least, involves in road accident.

But remember, not all of the road bullies are totally bad, maybe its because their internal problem, but neither not all of them are good, or reasonable enough and can be forgive due to their condition just like in the above situations.

The road bullies exist because of the lack of driving skill from others drivers; causing them to burst into anger. Could you imagine, driving about 60km/h in the right line of the high way, whereby the right line limit is about 110km/h, how come people would not get angry? Until today, I still remember the case in London. A woman who drove a Perodua Kenari in the right lane from 4 lanes in the highway, and shockingly, she only drove it just about 40km/h. She had successfully caused chaos in London’s highway at that night. The result was, she got fine and the court stated that she needs to retake her driving license, again.

Well, that’s one of the best examples that not all of the road bullies is bad. But better don’t mess up with the road bullies; we don’t know who they are. Some of the road bullies love to see their “prey” got scared when they are tailgating them, close enough to cause an accident.

What can I conclude here are the government should pay serious attention to this situation, and the punishment for the road bullies should be impose harshly, so their will never committing the same mistake or this extreme behavior. In addition, their driving license should be revoked. They can say goodbye to their driving license.
