Bengaluru man confronts driver in wrong lane, gets attacked instead | video

A Bengaluru man objected to a driver driving in the wrong lane, but instead ended up getting involved in an ugly brawl. In a video shared on X, the man claimed he was driving through another circle when the accident occurred. According to dashcam footage, it happened around noon on June 22.

As seen in the clip, the driver of the car had made a left turn onto the road and was moving forward on the track when a vehicle collided head-on with his car out of nowhere, causing him to slam on the brakes. The driver of the other car motioned for him to reverse his car, even though he was in the wrong lane. It was not just him, but several other vehicles, including cars and a bus, were seen traveling in the wrong lane.

The car driver did not budge and remained in his place. At some point, the other driver got out of his car and attacked him. Passers-by were seen stopping in their tracks after hearing the commotion. While what happened next between the two was not captured on the car’s camera, the man said an altercation broke out.

He wrote in the caption: “Car KA01AG1283 was driving on the wrong side [Mekhri Circle]Bengaluru, creating a serious safety risk. When I objected, the driver got out and attacked me. I have video evidence from the car camera and have filed a complaint with RT Nagar police station. We demand immediate action.”

“I think you’re very stupid.”

The accident led to people online calling for a strict penalty to be imposed on the driver who was in the wrong lane. While some sided with him, saying that there might be heavy traffic in the right lane, and that is why he must have taken the other route.

One user said: “I hope the police take quick action against the driver, this is really reckless and scary behaviour.”

“The same thing happened to me. Me and another car stopped the company bus and asked me to move because it was late. There are no cops around, call 112. This is a serious problem here. You take that turn and hit vehicles. The only time cops are around is to give out spot fines,” said another person while sharing a similar experience.

One individual noted, “It seems the scariest and most sinful thing is that the state bus is going so fast in the wrong direction. Or is this road legal?”

Meanwhile, another person commented: “Driving on the wrong side is frustrating, but context is important here. Due to heavy traffic congestion on the main side, traffic police are actively directing motorists to use this alternative route to ease congestion. It’s a temporary diversion managed by cops, not a breach of the law.”

“I think you are very stupid. There are hundreds of vehicles coming in this direction because the signal was green, and you go and land on the far right side in front of the TT,” another person commented.
