Female driver slapped in the face by man for honking to ask for the right of way in Ho Chi Minh City

(Dan Tri) - Honking the horn three times to overtake a technology taxi that was stopped in front, the female driver was slapped hard in the face by the taxi driver.

On October 26, social media spread information and a clip recording a technology taxi driver leaving his car and beating a female driver, causing a stir.

Speaking to Dan Tri reporter, Ms. PST (35 years old, living in District 7) said that she was the victim in the incident. Ms. T. said that at around 5:30 p.m. on October 25, she was driving on Road 40, Tan Quy Dong Residential Area (District 7) at a speed of 20km/h. When she arrived in front of the convenience store, she discovered a technology taxi running, suddenly stopped and turned on the emergency lights.

When she turned on her left turn signal to pass, the driver in front also turned left, not yielding. Ms. T. honked her horn three times, and was immediately slapped hard in the face by a male technology taxi driver who got out of the car and approached.

"This person came knocking on my door and asked me 'what are you honking for?' I said I was asking for the way, and he immediately slapped me in the face. The assault lasted about 5 seconds," Ms. T. said.

According to the woman, the technology taxi driver stopped the car on the road, while another car was parked on the opposite side. This driver spoke aggressively and challenged her to call the police.

"Because there was a traffic jam in the area, he drove away. He slapped me hard in the face, but he didn't cause any injuries so I didn't go to the police to report it," said Ms. T.

District 7 authorities have learned of the incident and are verifying and clarifying it.
