Female driver insults traffic police due to 'psychological inhibition'

The woman said she was mentally depressed due to traffic jams and was carrying 4 small children... so when the traffic police officer tapped the car with his baton, she got angry and grabbed the man by the collar.

On July 18, Ward 25 Police (Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City) filed a case against a 31-year-old woman (living in Hanoi) for "having words and actions that insulted and offended the honor and dignity of a person performing official duties".

At work earlier, this woman admitted her mistake when she insulted, struggled, and grabbed the traffic police officer by the collar. She said that it was raining, the road was jammed, and she was carrying 4 small children (the oldest was 6 years old and the youngest was only 3 months old), so she was depressed. When the traffic police officer tapped the glass with a stick, she could not keep her composure, so she said and acted inappropriately. After the incident, she apologized to the police officer.

Reporting to the unit, the male traffic police officer said that while directing traffic on Ung Van Khiem Street, near Nguyen Xi intersection (Ward 25, Binh Thanh District), he accidentally let his steering wheel hit the left side window of a car driving in the opposite lane. At that moment, the driver got out of the car and made "unpleasant" gestures and words. Due to the woman's aggressive attitude, he had to ask the ward police for support.

The Hang Xanh Traffic Police Team (PC67, Ho Chi Minh City Police) did not penalize this woman for encroaching on her lane because at that time the traffic police were only involved in traffic regulation.

In a video that appeared on the Internet on the evening of July 17, the female driver drove her car into the opposite lane. Expressing her anger, she told the traffic police not to "hit her car", continuously pointing at the young police officer, swearing, grabbing his stick, grabbing his collar, pushing him... Although the traffic police officer repeatedly avoided her and asked her to stop, the female driver did not comply.

The incident angered passersby and caused serious traffic congestion in the area.
