Young South African biker's road rage lands him in hot water
'Although the motive behind this attack is unknown, violence of this nature should never be tolerated and is unacceptable' - Damon Beard.
Phew, being a driver is hard work and it's so difficult to contain your anger when it comes to dealing with difficult drivers. However, I'm not sure what prompted this incident to occur?
According to TimesLive, video footage of a Johannesburg motorcyclist who assaulted a motorist has made the rounds on social media, ultimately leading to the arrest of a 17-year-old man.

In the video, you see the motorcyclist drive up to a motorist's door before there's a heated exchange between the two of them. With his bike helmet still on, the rider pushes and shoves the driver around before physically beating him up. The driver of the vehicle suffered facial injuries and is recovering.
Thankfully, swift action was taken as the 17-year-old motorcyclist was tracked down by a private security company who was hired by the brother of the victim and was handed over to police. What's even more disturbing is that the biker didn't even have a licence to ride.
Although it is not certain why he behaved in this manner, violence and harassment of any sort is a no-no for me and should not be taken lightly.What are your thoughts on the incident?
