DEFINITION

由来
  • 英语“road bully”的意译。
  • 路霸在马路上与人发生争执，多半是因为车子互相抢道，或红灯转绿时前边的车子起步较慢而感到不耐烦。
  • 路霸往往会影响道路安全，阻碍交通，甚至造成人员受伤。路霸伤人可能会面临罚款、监禁甚至鞭刑的惩罚。
  • 2017年，新加坡陆路交通管理局 (Land Transport Authority，简称“陆交局”)、新加坡交通警察局 (Traffic Police)、新加坡道路安全理事会 (Singapore Road Safety Council) 及新加坡行善运动 (Singapore Kindness Movement) 联合推出以“选择礼让”(“Choose Graciousness”) 为主题的“让道路更安全运动2017” (Safer Roads Campaign 2017)，以推广互相礼让的公路行为。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “路霸” is a paraphrase of the English term “road bully”.
  • Road bullies usually get into disputes with others because they believe they have the right of way. Some also get impatient when the car ahead does not move off immediately when the lights turn green.
  • They can be a danger on the road, as they obstruct traffic and may even injure others. Road bullies found guilty of injuring others may be fined, jailed or caned.
  • In 2017, the Land Transport Authority, Traffic Police, Singapore Road Safety Council and Singapore Kindness Movement jointly launched the “Safer Roads Campaign 2017”, which centred on the theme of “Choose Graciousness” to promote gracious behaviour on the road.
