I would like to bring to your attention a road rage incident that took place on 8-Mar-2017 around 5:15 PM at Arakere Gate traffic signal on Bannerghatta Road, Bangalore.

An Uber Taxi with Registration Number KA 51 C 9100 (Photo attached) was blocking the left lane at the green signal though he had his right indicator on and wanted to take a right at the junction. I was driving in my car just behind this taxi, and after persistently alerting the taxi driver by honking I managed to have him move to the right so that I could cross the signal and pass.

However, after I passed the traffic signal this Uber taxi driver instead of taking his right decided to follow me in a dangerous manner and blocked my car not once but TWICE in a rash and dangerous manner, blocked the entire traffic on the road, got down from the taxi and hurled abuses at me, used abusive language and threatened me of dire consequences if I ever did that to him again. He mentioned in Kannada that "He has seen enough people like me and knows how to deal with such people."

To be honest with you the Drivers mannerism and language indicated that he indeed could even physically hurt anyone in such circumstances and can be a great threat to commuters on the road.

In the best interest of other commuters I take this opportunity to post this complaint and request Uber to take strict action against this driver.

I have also registered a complaint at the local traffic police station regarding this incident.
