We\u2019ve all been there and while that\u2019s an annoying scenario, usually the tailgater moves on and does it to someone else because it\u2019s nothing personal, even if it is dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>But in this case, the road the victim was traveling on had a reduced speed limit thanks to an emergency situation and the other driver apparently felt that <a href=\"https:\/\/theautowire.com\/2024\/12\/28\/tesla-attacked-in-road-rage-exchange\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:wasn\u2019t reasonable;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">wasn\u2019t reasonable<\/a>. When the other driver got into the next lane and pulled up alongside the victim at a stop light, things got a little spicy.<\/p>\n<p>This is why we don\u2019t like pulling up window-to-window with another vehicle. But we understand road ragers love doing that sort of thing.<\/p>\n<p>A verbal exchange between the two men, then they continued on. The aggressor swerved in front of the victim, slammed on his brakes, then approached the open driver\u2019s window on the victim\u2019s car. That would\u2019ve been an excellent time to close it.<\/p>\n<p>After pushing the victim, the road rager bit the 63-year-old man\u2019s finger. Who even does that? What\u2019s the point? It\u2019s like something a little toddler who\u2019s mad would do. Is this what\u2019s happened to society? Is road rage not stupid enough that we now have to bite people who don\u2019t drive the way we like?<\/p>\n<p>Having bit the victim, the other man took off and police are now hunting for him. We still can\u2019t believe this is a thing and we certainly hope it doesn\u2019t become some crazy new trend.<\/p>\n<p>Image via Victoria Police\/Facebook<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/au.news.yahoo.com\/man-finger-bitten-road-rage-005304244.html?guccounter=1\" data-ylk=\"slk:News Wire;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">News Wire<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"caas-iframe-wrapper\" data-embed-anchor=\"41227143-9057-559e-903c-0fd3db7ef6af\">\n<div class=\"caas-iframe youtube\" style=\"padding-bottom:56%\" data-type=\"youtube\">\n<blockquote data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rFL883pAkY8?si=GrngpG3JO953gezn\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Toyota Unintended Acceleration Scandal (2009-2010)\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rFL883pAkY8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><b>Join our <a href=\"https:\/\/the-auto-wire.ck.page\/79608c7a0b\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Newsletter<\/a>, subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCjZKlp4UFrE_vFa5KPT7wTg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:YouTube page;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">YouTube page<\/a>, and follow us on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/theautowirenews\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Facebook;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Facebook<\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/autos.yahoo.com\/melbourne-road-rager-bites-man-010000679.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read the full story on The Auto Wire Melbourne Road Rager Bites Man&rsquo;s Finger A road rager in the east side of<br \/><button class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/world\/melbourne-road-rager-bites-mans-finger\/03\/01\/2025\/\">Read More &rsaquo;<\/a><\/button><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":40215,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40213"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40213"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40213\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
