00:00I'm trying to witness you.
00:01Oh, my lord.
00:02Oh, it's Ali.
00:03It's Ali.
00:04Hey.
00:05Hey.
00:06Oh, I'm in ya.
00:07When you see it, it's .
00:09.
00:10My .
00:11Ha ha ha.
00:12Yes.
00:13Yes.
00:14Get the .
00:15Get the .
00:16Oh, you .
00:18Bus you ass dog.
00:19Get the bus.
00:20Get the bus.
00:21Get the bus.
00:22Get the bus.
00:23Get the bus.
00:24Get the bus.
00:25Get the bus.
00:26Get the bus.
00:27Get the bus.
00:28Get the bus.
00:29Get the bus.
00:30Get the bus.
00:31Get the bus.
00:32In the last few years, the number
00:33of Americans on the road has skyrocketed.
00:36And that means more traffic.
00:39More accidents.
00:40And also more rage.
00:46With violent road rage up nearly 500%.
00:52Oh.
00:54This is where the rubber meets the road.
01:04When vehicles and bicycles share the road,
01:16it can be a fragile alliance where one little slip-up
01:20can be potentially disastrous.
01:25me.
01:26Fortunately, in this case, the biker appears to be okay.
01:30But according to a study, over a recent 12-year period...
01:35You ! Oh, my God!
01:39...accidents where bikers are killed are up nearly 75%.
01:44Oh !
01:46...which may be why some bikers choose to travel in large groups
01:50to increase visibility and help reduce accidents
01:53through a safety-in-numbers approach.
01:56And while this method can certainly be very effective,
02:00it also has the potential to rub some drivers the wrong way.
02:05In Los Angeles...
02:07...a conflict has arisen between a group of cyclists...
02:13...and the driver of this black car.
02:17...who seems annoyed at the space the riders are taking.
02:25...and things are escalating quickly.
02:35Oh, my God, you got a gun away.
02:39Oh, my God.
02:42Clearly outnumbered, the driver wisely
02:44heads back to his vehicle until a biker's apparent kick
02:53to the side view mirror draws him back into the fray.
02:57How do you get a gun right now?
03:00Oh, my God.
03:10Despite continued taunts from both sides,
03:13the driver once again ends up in his car.
03:17But the biker's baiting is still proving irresistible
03:21and appears to send him over the top.
03:25Oh, my God.
03:26Bust your ass, dog.
03:27Damn.
03:28Damn.
03:29Damn.
03:30Get the fuck off her.
03:31Get the fuck off the road, dudes.
03:33Get the fuck off the road.
03:34The drivers challenges go unheeded.
03:37Get the fuck.
03:38Get the fuck.
03:40Hey, come on, come on.
03:42For the most part.
03:43.
03:44.
03:45I ain't going to do .
03:47All right, Cookie, cookie.
03:49Cookie, choke.
03:50Coach, don't get hype.
03:51There'd be a fuck.
03:52Let him get it on.
03:53Fortunately, no blows are landed.
03:57I can't predict it off you.
03:57.
03:59and the driver
04:04finally leaves for good thankfully with no apparent injuries
04:14it's unknown if the incident is ever reported to police
04:21but hopefully this car versus bike showdown taught both sides
04:30that fighting over your portion of the road is a great way
04:37to get absolutely nowhere
04:40as awful as it can be getting into an accident
04:54there's one response that can make things much worse
05:01leaving the scene
05:04actually they're moving i've just involved in a rearing collision with a motorcycle
05:10but the motorcycle just took off
05:11and while the outcome of this situation is unknown
05:14fleeing an accident can earn the perpetrator a criminal record
05:19she just bumped into this girl
05:22and yet shockingly according to triple a
05:26hit and run crashes occur an average of almost 700,000 times each year
05:38for this incident details have not been disclosed
05:47but estimates suggest only about 10% of offenders are ever caught
05:51which in the eyes of some drivers really doesn't sit well
06:02in hot springs arkansas
06:04motorcyclist john brown heads out on his lunch break
06:10going to pick up some fast food
06:12but less than two minutes into his ride
06:15he comes upon an suv driving the wrong way
06:18into traffic
06:20holy
06:21this suburban
06:26is barreling towards me
06:29and you can see their mirror actually hanging off the passenger side of their vehicle
06:35the damage appears to be from a collision with one or more vehicles at the intersection ahead
06:40and as john surmises that the suv has just left the scene of that accident
06:49he quickly abandons his lunch run to pursue
06:53but at the next intersection
06:57john gets held up at the light
07:00as the suv turns onto a side road
07:04prompting a hasty decision
07:06i decide screw it
07:09i'm gonna go ahead and jump this curb
07:10up ahead
07:15john spots the suv
07:19oh i'm after that
07:21and races to catch up
07:23i look in the window
07:27and i see them
07:28and here i am trying to yell at them
07:31i got you on camera
07:33you gotta go back
07:34but getting them to return to the scene
07:39won't be so easy
07:40oh what

07:48in arkansas
07:53during a lunch run
07:54motorcyclist john brown
07:56comes face to face
07:58holy
07:58but the driver he believes is leaving the scene of an accident
08:03oh they're running
08:04oh they're running
08:05so he pursues
08:08taking a shortcut over the curb
08:14and through a parking lot
08:16oh i'm after that
08:18until he pulls alongside
08:22and gives them a warning
08:24you gotta go back
08:26i got you on camera
08:27you gotta go back
08:28but the suv
08:32continues on
08:34oh what
08:36i'm like wow
08:39okay all right let's go
08:40this is
08:41this happening
08:42okay
08:45call 911
08:47i'm trying to get my voice assistant to call 911
08:51it just simply didn't work
08:53as john struggles to call the authorities
08:56the suspect suddenly stops
08:58but john follows close behind
09:05just to make sure
09:09an instinct
09:15nah it seems that way
09:17that proves spot on
09:19dude it's that way
09:20where are you going
09:21john tries to keep pace
09:27on a small 250 cc bike
09:29and though he hangs for a bit
09:34he knows he can't continue this for long
09:41hey i need you to call 911 on that person
09:44they're running right now
09:46i can't call them right now
09:47but the suv driver provides their own take on the situation
09:51like i already told the cops
09:54like i already told the cops
09:55like i already told the cops
09:56go back
09:56go back
09:58okay
09:59i know what the
10:03and the chase continues
10:09a little bit further down the road
10:15she ends up pulling over
10:18at the gas station
10:19she gets out of her car
10:21and is inspecting the damage
10:24done to her vehicle
10:25the broken mirror
10:26the quarter panel
10:27the passenger door
10:28all that messed up
10:29i'm watching her
10:32like maybe she's trying to stop
10:34but no
10:37she gets back into the car
10:38and takes off
10:38and at that point
10:39i'm already dialing 911
10:40as the suv pulls away again
10:43john's direct dial connects
10:46hello yes
10:48and he alerts authorities to his location
10:50it's on central
10:51she nearly hit me on my bike
10:54but as he relays the information
10:57yeah
10:57yeah she's passing
10:59keeping up with the suv proves difficult
11:03she is full of lying
11:06holy smokes
11:07that little bike is just not keeping up
11:09i'm slowly realizing
11:11that there's no point
11:12in continuing to follow her
11:14and she's gone
11:17but all of john's efforts
11:21are not in vain
11:22because police asked john
11:24for his helmet footage
11:25as evidence
11:26which he agrees to provide
11:27after one quick stop
11:30uh well
11:31i got my order waiting on me

11:55the cop was very cool
11:57according to the crash report
11:58the driver of the black suv
12:01reports the accident to police
12:02when she arrives home
12:03and according to court records
12:06she pleads guilty
12:07to leaving the scene
12:08of an accident
12:09involving property damage only
12:11careless and prohibited driving
12:13an unsafe vehicle
12:14with defective equipment
12:16she is sentenced
12:18to five days
12:19of community service
12:20for john
12:23the urge to pursue justice
12:24holy
12:26was a risk
12:29he was willing to take
12:30you gotta go back
12:31i got you on camera
12:32you gotta go the
12:33back
12:33fortunately
12:35he had already given himself
12:37some very good advice
12:39naturally don't put yourself
12:41in harm's way
12:41one could say
12:42i did that myself
12:43she is
12:44full of lying
12:45holy smoke
12:46but you know
12:48do it responsibly
12:48i felt like it was
12:50the right thing to do
12:51and that's really what
12:51motivated me to do that
12:53and she's gone
12:55according to the federal highway administration
13:03on average
13:04a driver is three times more likely
13:06to crash on the curve
13:07than on any other section of a highway
13:15and while curves that are tight or steep
13:18may see the worst of these wrecks
13:19a devastating disaster
13:28can happen
13:29on even
13:30the most gradual bend
13:32in the road
13:32on a rural highway
13:35in illinois
13:36an suv's dash cam records
13:40as traffic cruises
13:41around a slight curve
13:42when from the opposite side
13:44of the highway
13:45in illinois
13:55highway traffic navigates
13:57a gradual curve
13:58when suddenly
13:59despite warning signs
14:09that face both directions
14:11an oncoming minivan
14:13drifts across the center line
14:15clips a truck
14:17cheering off
14:18its own side view mirror
14:19and side swipes
14:21an suv
14:22causing it to spin
14:25one and a half times
14:26a car trailing the suv
14:31sees the impact
14:32which knocks off
14:34one of the vehicle's tires
14:35leaving its rim
14:37spraying a shower of sparks
14:38off the pavement
14:39according to the crash report
14:43a total of seven vehicles
14:44are damaged in the accident
14:46with four needing to be towed
14:48fortunately
14:49as drivers emerge
14:52and check on each other
14:53it appears there are no major injuries
14:55the crash report states
14:57that the driver of the vehicle
14:58that caused the wreck
14:59has issued a citation
15:00for improper lane usage
15:02the driver claims
15:04to have no recollection
15:05of the crash
15:06and doesn't know
15:07why he drifted from his lane
15:08a reminder
15:11that every bend
15:12on a highway
15:13requires a driver's
15:14full attention
15:15to prevent
15:20a potentially
15:20tragic turn
15:21any time a driver
15:28gets out of their car
15:29to confront another
15:30it's a highly unstable
15:35situation
15:36that can prompt
15:37both parties
15:38to act irrationally
15:43which is why
15:48it's important
15:49to use de-escalation techniques
15:51such as staying
15:53inside your own vehicle
15:55and not engaging verbally
15:56and if possible
16:01safely and passively
16:03documenting the encounter
16:05because restraint
16:10is always a smart play
16:12wow
16:12no matter how difficult
16:15it may be
16:16in China
16:18according to news reports
16:22this irate woman
16:23was allegedly driving
16:24in the wrong lane
16:25against traffic
16:27and swerved into a bus
16:29to avoid hitting
16:29this male motorist
16:31who was traveling
16:32in the same lane
16:33but going
16:33the right direction
16:34and now
16:37she seems to blame him
16:40for the crash
16:41despite there being
16:47passengers in the back seat
16:48including what looks
16:49like a child
16:50she enters the front seat
16:53and appears to strike
16:55at the male driver
16:56according to news reports
17:00the man
17:01a military veteran
17:02doesn't fight back
17:03and the woman
17:08is eventually pulled away
17:09by another man
17:11but moments later
17:13she's back for more
17:21once again
17:23the veteran appears
17:24not to react
17:25instead opting to
17:28apparently record
17:29their interaction
17:30with his phone
17:31until finally
17:35she disengages
17:36but as she heads
17:42back to her car
17:43and begins to recount
17:48the accident
17:49she appears to kick
17:57her aggression
17:58into high gear
18:03in China
18:16a woman who appears
18:23to have crashed
18:24into a bus
18:24after allegedly
18:25driving against traffic
18:26seems to blame
18:27an oncoming motorist
18:29but despite
18:33the physical confrontation
18:35the man
18:36a reported veteran
18:37doesn't fight back
18:38but that doesn't stop
18:46the woman
18:46from continuing
18:47to argue
18:48and then
18:55coming back
18:57from war
18:57remarkably
19:08the man manages
19:09to keep his composure
19:11bystanders again
19:19steer the woman
19:20toward her car
19:21as traffic
19:22starts to clear
19:23but it's not over yet
19:31the male driver
19:42emerges
19:43apparently bleeding
19:45from his nose
19:46while a witness
19:47encourages
19:48continued restraint
19:49the driver
19:55wisely
19:55keeps his cool
19:56while appearing
19:57to document
19:58the scene
19:58and the vehicle
19:59until the woman
20:02finally drives away
20:04according to news reports
20:09authorities locate
20:10the woman
20:11soon afterward
20:12and she receives
20:14a 10-day detention
20:15along with a fine
20:17the male driver
20:19tells reporters
20:20that he didn't hit back
20:21because of the child
20:22in the back seat
20:23and because he doesn't
20:25hit women
20:25an extraordinary display
20:30of self-control
20:31which prevented
20:37an ugly scene
20:38from becoming
20:39even more so
20:41and she gets
