Road rage is not a phenomenon isolated to the US. Anywhere there are frequent traffic jams and long commutes, it will flare up. It’s also not isolated by the make or model of the vehicles involved. While it's easy to assume the driver of a clapped-out jalopy rolling on a space-saver donut is more susceptible, it can happen to anyone, including the driver of a Bugatti Veyron.

That’s what happened recently in Jiangsu, one of China's top provinces for finance and technology. Looking at the dashcam video posted online, we can’t tell which driver is at fault or has road rage. All we know for sure is that the BMW was in the right lane, and the Bugatti Veyron tried to cut in front of it. The BMW speeds up to close the gap, forcing the Bugatti to back off. Moments later, the Bugatti driver tries to cut in a second time. The BMW speeds up again, and that’s when the two cars appear to collide.

The Bugatti Veyron suffered a large gash in the rocker panel and door on the passenger side. The damage is cosmetic and doesn’t look like it would affect the operation of the car, but it’s not going to be cheap to fix. Considering that a set of tires costs $42,000 and the annual service is a hefty $25,000, the price of paint and bodywork alone could be astronomical. And since it’s a Bugatti with carbon fiber bodywork, it’s not like someone can slap some Bondo on it and call it good.
