Why are road rage cases on the rise in Bengaluru?

Bengaluru’s traffic is infamous and legendary. And its byproduct, road rage, is a great leveller. The alarming escalation in the number of road rage incidents in Bengaluru has spared none. From a senior citizen to an IPS officer, from an actor to a techie, to even an ambulance ferrying an accident victim, road rage can affect anyone, anytime. According to one private survey, road rage is the foremost trigger of anxiety among car owners in Bengaluru. 57% of the 22,000 car owners surveyed in the city revealed that they have experienced some sort of road rage in the last six months. The main causes of road rage can be attributed to frequent traffic gridlocks, congested roads, inadequate infrastructure, disregard for lane discipline, and aggressive driving behaviour, such as honking, tailgating and cutting off other vehicles. How did roads, a simple means to get from point A to point B, become the cause for such heightened angst and ill-temper? What triggers such aggression among motorists on the road?

We find out what the Bengaluru police is doing to tackle this issue and what they recommend you should do, should you get caught in a road-rage incident.
