It seems that road rage can affect people regardless of where they live, this being a rather good example of that.
This particular incident took place on Sept 27th in the city of Irkutsk, which is in Russia, except that it’s really far East right next to Mongolia, so feel free to say Siberia instead of Russia.
According to the description, there was an argument that took place at a crosswalk where one of the cyclists even opened the rear door of the Hyundai Solaris and slammed it heavily because of something the driver did or didn’t do.
It seems the action annoyed the driver so much, that she decided to take matters into her own hands and run not just one cyclist, but two off the road. Thankfully, nobody was hurt and after another conflict erupted following the crash, the two women in the Hyundai left the scene of the accident.
Before asking Google Translate for help, we thought she simply didn’t see them or wasn’t paying enough attention (although both cyclists were nowhere near any of the car’s blind spots), but now that we know what happened, we don’t see how she could ever hope to justify her actions.
On top of that, at one point, the two women ask a couple of gentlemen to get one of the cyclists away from them so that they can leave. Worked like a charm, unfortunately.
