00:10I live right there, bro, like you actually pulled over an elected official, right?
00:15You're not pulling over a random, you're not pulling over your boss.
00:19I'm not going to hire you, I'm bringing you on.
00:22Are you crazy?
00:23Yes, absolutely, on your camera, I put you on.
00:33Why are you getting out?
00:35This is home.
00:36This is home.
00:38Stop, stop, stop, stop.
00:43Whoa, stop, stop, stop, stop.
00:45What the?
00:48Oh, is he really coming this way?
00:50Is this happening?
00:51Are you kidding me?
00:53Are you kidding me?
00:54Is this really?
00:56Are you kidding me?
00:57Unbelievable.
01:00In the last few years, the number of Americans on the road has skyrocketed, and that means
01:06more traffic, more accidents, and also more rage.
01:14You got it, bro, sip out your car.
01:17With violent road rage up nearly 500%, this is where the rubber meets the road.
01:43In many people's minds, running a stop sign means blowing through it without slowing down.
01:53Stop sign, bro.
01:54What the?
01:56But according to most state laws, any car that doesn't stop completely, instead performing
02:03what's known as a rolling stop, is in violation, for good reason.
02:11And yet, despite the dangers, some people seem to think a rolling stop is no big deal, and certainly
02:20not worthy of a traffic ticket.
02:24At least, not for them.
02:28In Paulsboro, New Jersey.
02:33As an officer approaches a vehicle for allegedly rolling through a stop sign, he gets an earful.
02:40Oh, man, what's going on?
02:41Why are you acting this way?
02:42You can't be serious, and what are you calling me for?
02:44Why are you acting that?
02:45Why are you acting that like this?
02:46I want to know, what exactly are you getting behind me for?
02:48Stop sign.
02:49You need to stop at a stop sign.
02:50I did stop.
02:51As much as I can stop.
02:53You didn't stop at all.
02:54You rolled through that door.
02:55The driver makes a pitch for why he shouldn't get a ticket.
02:59He knows the police chief.
03:01This is when you see your license, man.
03:02God, what do you need?
03:04Don't think I ain't gonna talk to Gary about this.
03:07That's because the driver is Theodore Holloway, a city councilman.
03:12You act like I'm running around here with my gun, too.
03:14He ain't smoking.
03:15I'm the one that hired you.
03:17I'm bringing you on.
03:18Are you crazy?
03:19Yes, absolutely.
03:21On your camera, I put you on.
03:24Come on, man.
03:25You got the registration insurance on you, man?
03:27Christmas.
03:28The officer does his best to maintain his professionalism.
03:31Why are you acting like this, man?
03:33I got you.
03:35I'm just, I live right there.
03:37I'm just like, you actually pulled over an elected official.
03:40You're not pulling over a random.
03:42You're not pulling over your boss.
03:44I am literally your boss.
03:46Jesus, man.
03:48This is crazy.
03:49Crazy, cuz.
03:50But the officer's calm demeanor does little to placate the councilman.
03:54We got out here doing all kinds of crazy shit.
03:56I got you, right?
03:58And you, and you, and you, you're for an alleged, for an alleged not stopping to stop something.
04:04For an alleged, for an alleged.
04:05I'm sitting right up, I'm sitting at the stop.
04:07For an alleged, Marquis, it's an alleged, bro.
04:10It's an alleged.
04:10How is it alleged?
04:12Because I stopped.
04:13You see my tail lights?
04:14You didn't stop.
04:15All right.
04:15You gotta go to a complete stop.
04:17All right, so you rolled through it.
04:18You didn't stop.
04:18As the councilman continues looking for his documentation.
04:31The officer goes to run his vehicle information, where he soon finds out there's another violation
04:39he'll need to discuss with the councilman, which prompts a call to a supervisor.
04:52Hey, I got Holloway.
04:54Rolled right through the stop sign.
04:56Is that you coming up?
04:58Yeah, he's freaking out.
04:59I don't know what's going on with him.
05:03The supervisor arrives and gets the download.
05:09It's funny.
05:10Literally, he rolls through it.
05:12I turn my lights on right here.
05:14He's freaking out.
05:14Why are you pulling me off?
05:15He starts yelling at the window.
05:17Honestly, he's not happy.
05:18He's upset.
05:19Can we go to him?
05:20Yeah.
05:21The supervisor goes to speak with Mr. Holloway and finds that the councilman has already
05:26taken matters into his own hands.
05:28What's going on with you, man?
05:30I'm going to talk to the chief right now.
05:32This guy is crazy.
05:34What's going on?
05:35You know who I am, right?
05:36What's it?
05:37You do not know who I am either?
05:38I do, sir.
05:39Oh, all right.
05:39I do.
05:41Who's that?
05:42Anyway, chief, please talk with him.
05:45Tell him to get behind elected officials.
05:48That ain't level.
05:49Tell him to hold my bed.
05:50Hey, you should stop at the stop sign.
05:52See you go about the business.
05:54Not here.
05:54I need your license, registration, charge.
05:56What?
05:57You treat me like I'm some
06:00the chief takes some time to help put councilman Holloway at ease.
06:04I'll start the conversation with us.
06:05Yeah, thank you, man.
06:06I appreciate that.
06:07All right.
06:08If anything happens, I'll come.
06:09Yeah, I'll see.
06:12Which seems to embolden him even more.
06:15Go for it, man.
06:16I'm sorry for the stop sign.
06:19Now you come to these stops.
06:21I did one of these.
06:23I'm like, from my house right there.
06:25Now you're wasting your time.
06:26You're wasting the taxpaying money that I pay you, God, you do.
06:29For what?
06:30But if he thinks he's home free, he's mistaken.
06:35All right, listen, man.
06:36You received just one citation, all right?
06:38I'll cut you a break on a stop sign, or your registration's expired since July of last year,
06:43all right?
06:43I can't.
06:44There's nothing I can do with that, all right?
06:45According to police records, it's a citation that carries a $55 fine.
06:51I'll give you a court date to show up in court.
06:53Otherwise, drive safe.
06:55Take care of that.
06:59But the court of public opinion could be costlier.
07:02You can't be serious.
07:04When the video becomes widely publicized.
07:07Let me see your license, man.
07:08God, what do you need?
07:10Don't think I ain't going to talk to Gary about this.
07:12Councilman Holloway faces calls from his constituency to step down.
07:16I'm the one that hires you.
07:18I'm bringing you on.
07:19Are you crazy?
07:20Yes, absolutely.
07:22On your camera.
07:23I put you on.
07:24The New Jersey Police Union also calls on him to resign.
07:27You're not putting your phone over your boss.
07:29I am literally your boss.
07:31And though, as a production, Councilman Holloway has yet to do so.
07:35You don't know who I am either.
07:37Oh, there you are, sir.
07:37Oh, all right.
07:39Hopefully, he's learned that there's no level of importance.
07:42Well, your registration's expired since July of last year, all right?
07:46I can't.
07:46There's nothing I can do with that, all right?
07:47That is above the law.
07:49Let's try to save.
07:50Take care of that.
07:58While brake failure is relatively rare, according to an NHTSA survey, it does contribute to
08:10an estimated 4,000 crashes per year in the U.S.
08:16And the results of these types of crashes can range from frustrating
08:25to absolutely terrifying, not only for the driver, but anyone in the crosshairs who has no time
08:37to react and the danger grows even more extreme, the more people caught in the path in Auburn, Washington.
08:48In Washington, a truck's dash cam captures traffic stopped at a busy intersection.
08:55But as a line of cars begins to make the right on red, things unexpectedly take a very different turn.
09:11In Washington, a truck's dash cam records at a busy intersection as a pickup in the right lane makes a
09:18turn on red.
09:19But as the next car in line prepares to do the same, a dark sedan preparing to turn gets slammed
09:38by a tractor trailer,
09:40which then cuts off a crossing sedan, before taking out a traffic light and flipping on its side.
09:50Making matters even worse, according to news reports, the driver of the truck is trapped upside down inside the cab,
09:58which is partially submerged in a small body of water.
10:02The driver of the crossing sedan is able to open their door, just as a police cruiser appears on the
10:09scene.
10:10First responders are eventually able to free the truck driver from his vehicle.
10:15According to news reports, four people are injured in the crash.
10:19But fortunately, the injuries do not appear to be serious.
10:25The crash report lists a citation of improper brake performance for the truck,
10:30a potentially devastating scenario that thankfully didn't cost lives.
10:46So basically, this guy in the range driver pulled out on the roundabout in front of the Aldi and us,
10:50and now the Aldi overtook him, and I was going really stoned for other people.
10:56According to a recent study, humans develop a sense of justice as early as 15 months old.
11:05Which may be why aggressive driving is so often met.
11:09What the f**k?
11:10Oh my God. Oh my God.
11:13With an aggressive response.
11:20But while it's psychologically understandable to want to get even with someone.
11:25What the f**k just happened?
11:27This instinct can be extremely dangerous.
11:31Because the consequences of clashing with someone on the road not only include potential injury to oneself or others,
11:39but even possible jail time, or a permanent criminal record.
11:44So it's best to resist any urge for payback.
11:49Because you never know how far someone will take things.
11:53In Utah, a rear dash cam films an evening drive.
11:59When a trailing car appears over the horizon.
12:04Rapidly approaches.
12:08And then.
12:12Uses the turn lane.
12:14As a passing lane.
12:18The passing driver accelerates away while appearing to wave his middle finger.
12:25While behind, the man with the dash cam unflashes his high beams and lets him go.
12:30But ahead, when traffic backs up, for unknown reasons, the situation reignites.
12:57In Utah.
13:01A tight pass and a turn lane.
13:05Followed by a middle finger.
13:07Leads to a testy confrontation between drivers.
13:09Until the passing driver pulls away.
13:14And the man with the dash cam appears to let him go.
13:19But when they reach some congestion ahead.
13:23The passing driver engages again.
13:28And the tensions.
13:32Quickly ramp up.
13:38When the driver in front appears to fling an object.
13:42The car with the dash cam.
13:45Revs forward.
13:48Drawing a fierce response.
13:51The car in the front pulls away.
13:54As the man with the dash cam.
13:57Recites the license plate for his camera while keeping pace.
14:01But at the next light.
14:04He allows the driver in front to pull away.
14:09And surrenders any further pursuit to the authorities.
14:12It's going to be a great Mazda 3.
14:15Smoking him.
14:17A wise choice given the escalating violence.
14:22According to local news sources, the suspect is identified and arrested that same night.
14:31According to court records, he is charged with failing to comply with duties at vehicle accident, property damage, and impeding
14:39traffic.
14:39At the time of production, the case is ongoing.
14:43It's unclear what prompted his seeming aggression on this particular night.
14:47But this contentious back and forth shows that the further a driver pushes things, the more important it is to
14:59keep your distance.
15:08According to the NHTSA, the average time it takes for a driver to recognize danger and start taking evasive maneuvers
15:16is around 1.5 seconds.
15:19Which sometimes...
15:25Isn't fast enough.
15:26So drivers should always be on the lookout for possible danger, even before it's a threat.
15:36A strategy that can help prevent potentially devastating accidents.
15:46Oh no, it's coming my way.
15:49Or perhaps some very minor ones.
15:53It saw me.
15:54In a parking lot in Louisiana.
15:58I compel you in the name of Jesus.
16:01Be gone, evil spirit.
16:03A man sitting in his car spots a wandering shopping cart that seems up to no good.
16:09I think he's actually taunting.
16:11He's looking for trouble.
16:14Uh-oh.
16:16Did he find a target?
16:17Let's see what's over here.
16:18No?
16:20He's driving around.
16:21Of course, seeing trouble coming means nothing if you don't react to it.
16:27Oh, s**t.
16:29Is he really coming this way?
16:30Is this happening?
16:31Are you kidding me?
16:33Are you kidding me?
16:35Is this really?
16:36Are you kidding me?
16:38Unbelievable.
16:44The safest way for pedestrians to walk is facing traffic.
16:52And it's easy to see why.
16:55Because spotting danger before it strikes can be the difference between life and death.
17:03And even those who are off the road should keep an eye on the road.
17:12Or risk being caught in the crosshairs of disaster.
17:17In Thailand.
17:20A young boy and his mother bring laundry to their minivan on the shoulder of a major road.
17:26In the back seat, according to news reports, the boy's father is answering messages on his phone.
17:32With their backs to traffic, mom and son place the laundry into the back of the vehicle.
17:37When from behind them.
17:48In Thailand.
17:51A mother and her son take laundry to their minivan parked alongside a major thoroughfare.
17:57With the father sitting in the back seat on his phone.
18:01As traffic whizzes by, the two place their laundry baskets into the vehicle.
18:07When suddenly.
18:16A pickup truck drifts from this lane onto the shoulder.
18:20Missing the mom by inches as it slams into the van.
18:25Pushing the vehicle and the father down the road.
18:29According to local media.
18:32The father sustains injuries to his back.
18:35While the 74 year old driver of the pickup is treated for minor injuries.
18:40As a production, police are still investigating.
18:44But it's a clear message to anyone on or near a busy roadway.
18:49To always be aware of traffic.
18:53Just in case that traffic.
18:56Happens to be unaware of you.
19:08Responding to another driver with anger or aggression is a dangerous impulse.
19:15With a AAA foundation study finding that road rage caused an average of 1,800 injuries annually over a seven
19:23year period.
19:24For the driver of this car who appears to be feuding with the vehicle ahead.
19:37The continual maneuvering on the road prompts a frightening response.
19:53Incredibly.
19:57An officer happens upon the scene.
20:03Just in time to avert a serious escalation.
20:06You know that's how easily people get shot, right?
20:10I got you.
20:11I'm going to hit on the road.
20:12But situations like this rarely end as peaceably.
20:16In Chicago.
20:18A driver on their morning commute spots a black SUV following closely behind a white van.
20:24And appearing to stay behind it when it changes lanes.
20:28According to a witness.
20:30The aggressive driving may stem from an earlier incident.
20:33Where the white van allegedly brake checked the SUV.
20:38After tracking alongside each other a short distance.
20:41The van appears to make an evasive maneuver toward an exit.
20:50The black SUV also tries to exit.
20:53But can't clear the divider.
20:57Spinning sideways across the road.
21:00It's unknown what injuries the SUV driver may have sustained.
21:04Or the cost of damage to their vehicle.
21:07But it's a powerful illustration of how aggression behind the wheel can quickly turn back.
21:13Against the aggressor.
21:16I'm going to try to drive away.
21:16I'm going to try.
21:16I'm not if I'm sitting here ever Expert.
21:16What to do with your car?
21:17What to do with your car?
21:17Why do I?
21:17I'm looking for wear?
21:17I am looking for the car?
21:17I am looking for the car with an old car?
21:17You
