A video of a traffic dispute that recently went viral in China showed a female driver of a red Porsche slapping a male driver across the face at a crossroad in Chongqing. Netizens then posted several other videos related to this woman, who bragged about speeding: “I just like to speed, I often run through red lights, and I can always cancel my traffic violations.”

Local authorities announced on Aug. 12 that the woman’s husband is now under investigation and has been removed from his post as head of the Shichuan Police Station.
