Traffic law enforcement best protection for lives

The dramatic fight between two drivers in Chengdu, Sichuan province, early this week has sparked a heated debate on how to deal with rash driving. The incident started with a woman driving a red car abruptly changed three lanes to exit an expressway. Caught unawares by the sudden change, a man driving a black car in the middle lane instinctively slammed the brakes to avoid a crash. Angry with the red car's driver, he accelerated and chased it out of the expressway.

At this point, both drivers lost their senses, ignoring public security and violating traffic rules. The man ultimately forced the woman to stop her car, and immediately started raining blows on her. She ended up with a broken shoulder bone, a light cerebral concussion and bruises all over the body.

The man also wounded a taxi driver with a screwdriver for trying to stop him from beating up the woman before being subdued by police, who detained him for suspected violation of criminal law.
