SG: Road rage cases on the rise

Assault cases due to road rage incidents have increased to 97 cases last year, up from 84 in 2011 and 63 in 2010. The number of incidents may be a lot higher though, as many incidents go unreported. By law, a traffic incident is classified as road rage only when there is physical assault involved. Anyone who feels victimised can report the case as a road rage incident, although there is a lot of paperwork involved. Even though one reports the incident, it is highly unlikely the attacker will be arrested, unless a police officer witnessed the event.
