Conflict Between Avanza Drivers And Motorists At Cakung Toll Gate Impact Of Road Rage, Traffic Hard In Jakarta

JAKARTA - The lawyer for the hit-and-run victim, Rully Simorangkir, emphasized that the victim MSP alias Moses (34) did not know the perpetrator with the initials OD (24). Rully also denied that the perpetrator was the victim's neighbor.

"What the neighbor meant was only that the victim and perpetrator's residence complex was indeed side by side, namely between Taman Harapan Baru and Taman Harapan Indah, Bekasi. But it was a long distance apart," said MSP victim's attorney, Rully Simorangkir when confirmed by VOI, Monday, June 19.

Meanwhile, Rully also questioned the motive for the grudge referred to by the Police. He was not aware of any alleged revenge between his client and the perpetrator.

"Maybe what is meant by revenge is because as stated several times by the police, the mirror of the perpetrator's car was broken in the incident. The breaking of the mirror caused a temporary grudge of anger. Then that caused the perpetrator to hit and run over the victim," he said.

Rully is still waiting for the police investigation process.

"Later it will be clearer when the police finish with the entire series of investigations. Hopefully all these inappropriate incidents will be the beginning of the rule system and enforcement of traffic discipline," he said.

Rully said that the poor traffic system for motorists often causes a number of tensions on the road.

"It must be admitted that the traffic system causes tense situations on the streets. These tensions often frustrating motorists. And finally 'road urban', namely anger when driving often occurs. Events that happen to our clients, victims, are extreme examples of road urban areas," he explained.

Previously, East Jakarta Metro Police Deputy Chief AKBP Fanani said there was a motive for revenge in the hit-and-run action carried out by OS against Moses.

"(Motif) has a grudge," said AKBP Fanani to reporters at the East Jakarta Metro Police, Friday, June 16.

AKBP Fanani did not explain in detail what caused OS to hold grudges against Moses. But he said it started with a dispute between neighbors.

"Because there is a dispute with neighbors, so that the perpetrators are hurt and take these actions," he said.

The perpetrator with the initials OD was arrested by the Traffic Unit (Satlantas) of the East Jakarta Region after carrying out a hit-and-run action at the entrance to the Cakung - Kelapa Gading toll road, Cakung District, East Jakarta. The perpetrator with the initials OD (26) was arrested based on a number of evidences and statements from a number of witnesses.
