Rash driving on Indian streets has become an accepted reality, no longer considered an anomaly.

However, what Neha Garg experienced is sufficient to make people sit up and listen. She recounted the disconcerting road rash incident she had been in, on the evening of 20 April, in a series of tweets.

In a poll conducted by Times of India in April 2016, a whopping 58.9 percent people admitted to having experienced road rage at least once. Only a meagre 13 percent said they have never experienced it.

Over 7,000 respondents had participated in the poll.
