Road rage: Youth faces jail, caning

By James Kon A 25-year-old man is facing jail and whipping after he allegedly damaged a car’s spoiler during a heated altercation in a road rage incident on Tuesday.He has been charged under Section 427 of the Penal Code Cap 22 (Mischief), the police said. According to a police report, the incident happened around the merging lanes of Tungku Link highway near the overhead Rimba flyover. The 25-year-old driver, who was heading towards Bandar Seri Begawan from Rimba, had suddenly entered the merging lane with vehicles coming from Jerudong. His action caught a 63-year-old man heading in the same direction by surprise. The elderly driver annoyed by the act continuously horned and flashed his car’s headlights while tailgating the 25-year-old. The elderly driver eventually drove up to the side of the young driver’s car and pointed angrily at him. The youth provoked by the elderly male driver stopped his car by the side of the road and approached the old man wielding a hockey stick. A commotion broke out resulting in the young driver smashing the spoiler of the elderly man’s car. The elderly driver, alarmed by the actions of the young driver, left the scene immediately and reported the matter at the Bandar Central Police Station. The Royal Brunei Police Force managed to trace the young driver through the licence plate number of his car and went to his house, but couldn’t find him. The young driver later came to the station and admitted to have lost his temper because of the elderly man’s actions, which made him to grab his hockey stick and hit the complainant’s car. In relation to the case, the police have advised members of the public against taking matters into their own hands.
