 Female driver blamed online after being beaten up for abrupt1 lane changes

The latest online poll shows that the female driver who was brutally2 beaten by a man for lane changes has lost public support as 78 percent of netizens believe that she should be held accountable for her bitter experience.
Footage showing the woman, surnamed Lu, being violently beaten by a man in Chengdu, Sichuan province, has triggered outrage3 after being uploaded on Sunday. The man soon met with overwhelming criticism from Internet users, who described him as "lunatic","psycho" and "barbarous".
However, public opinion soon took a U-turn when footage from the dashboard camera on Zhang's car went viral on the Internet on Tuesday. The three-minute-long video shows the female driver suddenly crossing lanes in front of the Zhang's car twice. Her driving shows she was taking others' lives for granted.
Although 78 percent of people blame the female driver for the road rage, most of the netizens said they wouldn't use violence to answer such deeds, according to the poll conducted by Sina.com.
