介绍:
A 35-second video clip documenting the severe beating of a female driver has been viewed over thousands of times in just 2 hours. The video showed a man surnamed Zhang dragging Lu, the female driver out of her car and then proceed to beat her up savagely. Zhang claimed it was reaction to the appalling driving on the woman's part.
Lu, the female driver, had cut Zhang off abruptly on a highway then began tailgating him.
After forcing Lu to the side of the road, Zhang was seen attacking Lu through the window before opening her door and forcing her out. He then pushed her onto the ground and began kicking her in the face.
The beating left Lu with broken ribs and a severe concussion. Zhang was arrested for the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, which could send him to jail for as long as 5 years.
The dashboard camera on Zhang's car recorded the whole incident.

'Wonder if he would have tried this if the person in the car had been a huge dude with big muscles? Wonder why a bystander didn't help her? Wonder why he thinks this response is acceptable? Wonder what he does at home to his own family? Even the most aggravating drivers don't deserve this!!!'

"How can you teach horrible drivers like this woman a lesson? By courteously yielding the way? I don't think so. If you don't beat her up, she will never learn the lesson. There are lots of bad drivers like her. The more important question should have been if any of these bad drivers have been punished at all?"

"The female driver is at fault when she cut off the guy first. But then the male driver was equally bad by chasing after her. Both are horrible drivers, as neither respected traffic rules. But nothing justifies a beating."
Notes
- Lu has become a target of human flesh search online that found she had 27 traffic violations.
- Road rage (also road violence) is the informal name for deliberately dangerous and/or violent behavior under the influence of heightened, violent emotion such as anger and frustration, involving an automobile in use.
- One factor that is often discussed is overcrowding. Creepy animal studies have supported this contention: rats are usually OK until there is one rat too many in an enclosed space and then they all turn on each other. There are far more people on the road than ever before. Crowding causes aggression.
- And then there are triggering incidents, which usually means the driving habits of others. Tailgating seems to flip the mental switch of a road rager more than anything else, although it is also one of the ways that road ragers intimidate other people.
- China's Ministry of Public Security reported last year that the country has 244 million licensed drivers, the largest figure in the world. And about 10% of the drivers have less than a year of driving experience. The MPS also estimates that the number of drivers in China will see continued growth in the coming years.
- As drivers in China become more experienced, one might hope that tailgating and other types of "bad driving" might decrease.
- Both were angry and started to race each other and verbally abused each other through their car windows. Zhang said he then decided to resolve the problem with violence.

"The real problem is that the female driver will not be punished for her aggressive driving that risked the safety of pedestrians. It is not considered as a criminal offense?"

"The man's wife and son were in the car as well. What kind of example is he setting for the kid? What kind of man puts his family at risk like this?"
(JN) Yu Nan84 commented on Shang Hai Daily.com
"We're all bound to lose our cool at some point, but we need to keep things in perspective, we can prevent our emotions from getting the best of us. Avoiding aggressive driving will help to ensure your own safety, as well as the safety of everyone around you."
