This next road rage incident from Russia is so weird that it almost looks fake. Despite driving a very girly red VW Beetle, the antagonist is "man enough" to smash somebody's windscreen with a golf club. Talk about unexpected!
The video starts by showing how the Beetle driver joins traffic without giving way. Naturally, the driver behind him gets a little angry, and this gets the better of him when he starts honking the VW at an intersection. He's right to do so, as the blinking green light allows both of them to make that right turn.

After that, it seems like the car filming the incident cuts the Beetle off a little bit. Tempers flare, and the Beetle overtakes the driver, forcing him to stop. You wouldn't expect this kind of driving from a Beetle owner. In fact, people with a learner's permit (there's a yellow spot on the rear window) shouldn't be able to overtake and force somebody to stop. Could this be his girlfriend's car or something?

Surprise, surprise - the guy has golf clubs in the small trunk of the Beetle. He's not afraid to use one and smashes the windscreen of his "opponent" with multiple strikes. All the while, a woman can be heard screaming in the background, shocked by the breaking glass.

Could there be altered motives to this road rage incident? Did the Beetle driver have a bad day golfing?

At one point in the video, you can hear the word "Muscovite" being used as a slur. You know how people hate out-of-town drivers. Judging by the rivers and the high number of Neo-Roman buildings, we'd wager this is St. Petersburg, which means the guy from Moscow is viewed as an outsider.

One thing is for sure: we're never going to mess with a VW Beetle driver! If somebody with a red Bug has golf clubs and isn't afraid to use them, maybe there's a Spetsnaz soldier with a pink Fiat 500 and a short fuse somewhere.
