Hienomotoristas

Hienomotoristas, also known as "hienas" or "hienas do motor," are a group of individuals who are known for their aggressive and often violent behavior on Brazilian roads. The term is derived from the Portuguese word for hyena, reflecting the predatory nature of their actions. Hienomotoristas are typically characterized by their reckless driving, which includes speeding, running red lights, and aggressive driving maneuvers. They often target other drivers, causing accidents and injuries. Their behavior is often motivated by a desire to assert dominance or prove their skills, rather than any legitimate reason. Hienomotoristas are a significant problem in Brazil, contributing to a high number of road accidents and fatalities. Efforts to combat this issue include increased police presence, stricter traffic laws, and public awareness campaigns. However, the problem persists due to the lack of effective deterrents and the prevalence of reckless driving culture.
