road bullies still exist?

Man turns violent, spits on, slaps woman driver

PETALING JAYA: What would have been just another routine Monday morning rush hour battle to work turned into a terrifying experience for medical researcher Munira Noor, 26, when she encountered a violent road bully.

Munira told The Malay Mail she was driving along Section 17 here when an accident occurred: "A van suddenly veered into my lane and collided into my car. I stopped by the roadside and stepped out to ask for an explanation."

Although the van driver stopped by the roadside as well, he initially refused to wind down his windows. When Munira kept tapping on it, she said: "The driver rolled down his window and he next thing I knew, he spat in my face!"

Munira then snapped a few pictures of the driver and the plate number of the vehicle from inside her car.

Realising what she was doing, the driver rushed out of his vehicle and attempted to smash her car's windscreen with his bare hands. He then allegedly shoved his hand in through her car window and slapped her.

Munira said the burly van driver, described as a man in his mid-40s, allegedly hurled derogatory and sexist remarks at her, but left when a crowd began to gather.

"I was traumatised by the attack," she said. "I didn't expect such creatures to exist in this country. Road rage, to the extent of causing distress to other roadusers, is incomprehensible."

Petaling Jaya district police chief ACP Arjunaidi Mohamed said police were investigating the case.

OMG, honestly?

Spitting a stranger to her (or another man's) face is really terrible, but to slap that person? If it were me, I would have sue that damn old man. Stupid male bully. Grrr.
