The violence on the roads has already become routine in recent months.

Sudden stops, dangerous detours and unkind merges quickly turn into huge skirmishes that get out of control.

Punches, kicks and punches at best, use of sharp objects, such as a machete, and blows with heavy means in more serious cases.



According to a new survey by the "Green Green" association, conducted through the "Mind Pool" research institute, one out of two Israelis, 48%, reported that they encountered a fight on the road.

The survey, which was designed to examine the proportion of people reporting various phenomena of anger and aggression on the part of drivers in Israel, also shows that 79% of Israelis reported that they encountered verbal violence and threatening movements at least once in the past year.



The survey also confirmed the fact that the phenomenon of honking and overtaking on the road is familiar to all of us - 92% of Israelis report that at least once in the past year they saw a vehicle cutting other vehicles or honking deliberately and aggressively.



When the survey respondents were asked what in their opinion is the best solution to the problem of road violence, 33% of them claimed that increasing police enforcement is the right way to solve it;

30% claimed that the solution is education, 28% claimed that the punishment was made worse, and 9% claimed that information was provided.

Hardly a week goes by without the publication of documentation of driver fights.

For example, at the weekend, two residents of Beer Sheva and a policeman were slightly injured after a vehicle carrying residents of the Bedouin diaspora drove wildly, hitting a car and hitting pedestrians.

The suspects fled the scene and were arrested after a chase.



About a month ago, a document was published from Holon in which a fight between two drivers developed into a physical confrontation, when one of them hit the other.

In an equally memorable case from last August, a man armed with a machete began to attack a family in a vehicle driving behind him on Highway 85 in the north.

Passengers in nearby vehicles called police to the scene.

After that, the suspect, a resident of Karmiel, came to the police station himself and was questioned.



All of these are joined by the incident yesterday in Nativite Ayalon, in which a motorcyclist hit a driver wearing a helmet and injured him in a light-moderate manner.

The suspect in the attack, a 37-year-old resident of Tel Aviv, claims that the driver overtook him illegally, rubbed his motorcycle - and refused to exchange details with him.

According to the lawyer of the suspect in the attack, Hagit Rahmani Weiss, the injured driver "



The relative of the injured man who is hospitalized in Ichilov and attacked in Nativite Ayalon said that he does not remember what happened in the attack.

"I still haven't digested what happened, I still don't know if he will go into surgery or not. I haven't watched the video and I don't want to watch it either. I'm shocked. I didn't expect something like this," she said.

"I gave him a drink and he wants to sleep."
