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 we getting out?
00:35It's hot.
00:37It's hot.
00:38It's hot.
00:38It's hot, bro.
00:43Whoa, it's not time, bro.
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 a problem, step 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.
02:06For good reason.
02:11And yet, despite the dangers, some people seem to think a rolling stop is no big deal, and
02:20certainly not 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 did you call me for?
02:44Why are you acting 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 can't stop.
02:51As much as I can stop.
02:52You didn't stop at all.
02:54You rolled through that joint.
02:55The driver makes a pitch for why he shouldn't get a ticket.
02:59He knows the police chief.
03:01This will be see you later, man.
03:02God, what do you need?
03:04Don't think I ain't going to talk to Gary about this.
03:07That's because the driver is Theodore Holloway, a city councilman.
03:12I'm acting like I'm running around here with my gun, too.
03:14He ain't smoking.
03:15Son, I'm the one that hires you.
03:17I'm bringing you on.
03:18Are you crazy?
03:19Yes, absolutely.
03:21I want your camera.
03:22I 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?
03:33Son of a car, John.
03:35I got you.
03:35I'm just, I live right there.
03:37I'm just, I'm just, I live right there.
03:37Like, like, like, you, 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.
03:47Jesus, this is crazy.
03:49Crazy, Gus.
03:50But the officer's calm demeanor does little to placate the councilman.
03:54We got out here doing all kinds of shit.
03:56I got you right.
03:58And you, and you, and you, and you pulled me on for an alleged, for an alleged, not stopping
04:02to stop something.
04:04For an alleged?
04:05For an alleged.
04:05I'm sitting right up.
04:07I'm sitting at the stop sign.
04:07For an alleged, Marquise, it's an alleged.
04:09Bro, it's an alleged.
04:10How's it alleged?
04:12Because I'm stopped.
04:13You see my taillights?
04:14You didn't stop.
04:15All right.
04:15You got to go to a complete stop.
04:17All right.
04:17You rolled through it.
04:18You didn't stop.
04:19As the councilman continues looking for his documentation.
04:23I got 150 use of paperwork.
04:28Oh, man.
04:31Sit tight for me.
04:32The 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.
04:51Hey, I got, uh, 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.
05:04The 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.
05:19So he's open?
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.
05:29What's going on, man?
05:30I'm talking 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.
05:40Exactly.
05:42Anyway, uh, chief, uh, please talk with him.
05:45Tell him to get behind elected officials.
05:49Tell him to hold my face.
05:50Hey, man.
05:50Hey, you should stop at the stop zone.
05:52See you go about your business.
05:54Not here.
05:54I need your license, registration, joint.
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 a conversation with him.
06:05Yeah, thank you, man.
06:06I appreciate that.
06:07All right.
06:08If anything happens, let me know.
06:09Yeah, I'll see.
06:12Which seems to embolden him even more.
06:15Go for it, man.
06:16I'm sorry for a stop zone.
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 tax-paying money that I pay you, God, you do.
06:29For what?
06:30But if he thinks he's home free, he's mistaken.
06:44According to police records, it's a citation that carries a $55 fine.
06:58But the court of public opinion could be costlier.
07:04When the video becomes widely publicized...
07:06Just let 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.
07:12...Counselman 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, I put you on.
07:24The New Jersey Police Union also calls on him to resign.
07:27You're not putting your foot 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.
07:37I do, sir.
07:37Oh, all right.
07:39...hopefully 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?
07:47...that is above the law.
07:49Let's try to save you.
07:51Take care of that.
07:58While brake failure is relatively rare...
08:06...according to an NHTSA survey, it does contribute to an estimated 4,000 crashes per year in the U.S.
08:16And the results of these types of crashes can range from frustrating...
08:25...to absolutely terrifying.
08:28Not only for the driver...
08:34...but anyone in the crosshairs who has no time to react.
08:47A 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...
08:58...things unexpectedly take a very different turn.
09:11In Washington...
09:13...a truck's dash cam records at a busy intersection...
09:16...as a pickup in the right lane makes a turn on red.
09:19But as the next car in line prepares to do the same...
09:34...a dark sedan preparing to turn...
09:37...gets slammed by a tractor trailer...
09:40...which then cuts off a crossing sedan...
09:44...before taking out a traffic light...
09:47...and flipping on its side.
09:50Making matters even worse...
09:52...according to news reports...
09:54...the driver of the truck is trapped upside down inside the cab...
09:58...which is partially submerged in a small body of water.
10:01The driver of the crossing sedan is able to open their door.
10:06Just as a police cruiser appears on the scene...
10:10...first responders are eventually able to free the truck driver from his vehicle.
10:15According to news reports...
10:17...four people are injured in the crash...
10:19...but fortunately, the injuries do not appear to be serious.
10:25The crash report lists a citation of improper brake performance for the truck...
10:30...a potentially devastating scenario...
10:32...that thankfully...
10:36...didn't cost lives.
10:46So basically this guy in the range driver...
10:48...pulled out on the roundabout from the Aldi and us...
10:51...and now the Aldi overtook him...
10:53...and I was getting really stoned for other people.
10:55Oh my god!
10:57According to a recent study...
10:59...humans develop a sense of justice...
11:01...as early as 15 months old.
11:03Oh my god!
11:04Come on!
11:05...which may be why aggressive driving is so often met...
11:09What the f***?
11:10Oh my god!
11:12Oh my god!
11:13...with an aggressive response.
11:17Oh f***!
11:21But while it's psychologically understandable to want to get even with someone...
11:25What the f*** just happened?
11:27...this instinct can be extremely dangerous.
11:31Because the consequences of clashing with someone on the road...
11:35...not only include potential injury to oneself or others...
11:39...but even possible jail time...
11:41...or a permanent criminal record.
11:44So it's best to resist any urge for payback...
11:49...because you never know how far...
11:51...someone will take things.
11:53In Utah...
11:56...a rear dash cam films an evening drive...
11:59...when a trailing car appears over the horizon...
12:04...rapidly approaches...
12:09...and then...
12:12...uses the turn lane...
12:15...as a passing lane.
12:19The passing driver accelerates away...
12:21...while appearing to wave his middle finger.
12:24While behind...
12:26...the man with the dash cam...
12:28...unflashes his high beams...
12:29...and lets him go.
12:31But ahead...
12:33...when traffic backs up...
12:36...for unknown reasons...
12:38...the situation...
12:40...reignites.
12:57In Utah...
13:01...a tight pass in a turn lane...
13:05...followed by a middle finger...
13:07...leads to a testy confrontation...
13:08...between drivers...
13:10...until the passing driver pulls away...
13:14...and the man with the dash cam...
13:16...appears to let him go.
13:19But when they reach some congestion ahead...
13:23...the passing driver engages again...
13:28...and the tensions...
13:32...quickly ramp up.
13:38When the driver in front appears to flee an object...
13:42...the car with the dash cam...
13:46...revs forward...
13:47...drawing a fierce response.
13:51The car in the front pulls away...
13:53...as the man with the dash cam...
13:57...recites the license plate for his camera...
14:00...while keeping pace.
14:01But at the next light...
14:04...he allows the driver in front to pull away...
14:09...and surrenders any further pursuit...
14:11...to the authorities.
14:12It's gonna be a great Mazda 3...
14:15...smoking him.
14:17...a wise choice...
14:18...given the escalating violence.
14:22According to local news sources...
14:24...the suspect is identified...
14:26...and arrested that same night.
14:31According to court records...
14:33...he is charged with failing to comply with duties...
14:35...at vehicle accident...
14:37...property damage...
14:38...and impeding traffic.
14:39At the time of production...
14:41...the case is ongoing.
14:43It's unclear what prompted his seeming aggression...
14:46...on this particular night.
14:48But this contentious back and forth shows...
14:51...that the further a driver pushes things...
14:54...the more important it is...
14:58...to keep your distance.
15:08According to the NHTSA...
15:10...the average time it takes...
15:12...for a driver to recognize danger...
15:14...and start taking evasive maneuvers...
15:16...is around 1.5 seconds...
15:19...which sometimes...
15:25...isn't fast enough.
15:27So drivers should always be on the lookout...
15:29...for possible danger...
15:31...even before it's a threat.
15:36A strategy that can help prevent...
15:38...potentially devastating accidents.
15:46Oh no, it's coming my way.
15:49Or perhaps...
15:51...some very minor ones.
15:53It saw me.
15:55...in 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...
16:05...spots a wandering shopping cart...
16:07...that seems up to no good.
16:10I think he's actually taunting.
16:11He's looking for trouble.
16:14Uh-oh. Did he find a target?
16:17Let's see what's over here.
16:18No?
16:20He's driving around.
16:21Of course...
16:23...seeing trouble coming means nothing...
16:25...if you don't react to it.
16:27Oh, s***.
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...
16:37Are you kidding me?
16:38Unbelievable!
16:44The safest way for pedestrians to walk...
16:47...is facing traffic.
16:52And it's easy to see why.
16:55Because spotting danger...
16:57...before it strikes...
16:59...can be the difference between life and death.
17:03And even those who are off the road...
17:05...should keep an eye on the road.
17:12Or risk being caught...
17:14...in the crosshairs of disaster.
17:18In Thailand...
17:20...a young boy and his mother...
17:22...bring laundry to their minivan...
17:24...on the shoulder of a major road.
17:26In the back seat...
17:27...according to news reports...
17:28...the boy's father is answering messages...
17:31...on his phone.
17:32With their backs to traffic...
17:34...mom and son place the laundry...
17:36...into the back of the vehicle.
17:37When from behind them...
17:49In Thailand...
17:51...a mother and her son...
17:53...take laundry to their minivan...
17:54...parked alongside...
17:55...a major thoroughfare...
17:57...with the father...
17:58...sitting in the back seat...
17:59...on his phone.
18:01As traffic whizzes by...
18:04...the two place their laundry baskets...
18:06...into the vehicle...
18:07...when suddenly...
18:16...a pickup truck...
18:18...drifts from its lane...
18:19...onto the shoulder...
18:21...missing the mom by inches...
18:22...as it slams into the van...
18:25...pushing the vehicle...
18:26...and the father...
18:27...down the road.
18:30According to local media...
18:32...the father sustains injuries...
18:34...to his back...
18:35...while the 74-year-old driver...
18:37...of the pickup...
18:38...is treated for minor injuries.
18:40As a production...
18:42...police are still investigating.
18:44But it's a clear message...
18:46...to anyone on...
18:47...or near a busy roadway...
18:49...to always be aware of traffic...
18:53...just in case that traffic...
18:56...happens to be unaware...
18:58...of you.
19:04What the is going on?
19:07What are they doing, man?
19:08Responding to another driver...
19:10...with anger or aggression...
19:12...is a dangerous impulse.
19:13Yeah.
19:15With a AAA Foundation study...
19:18...finding that road rage...
19:19...caused an average of...
19:20...1800 injuries annually...
19:22...over a seven-year period.
19:25For the driver of this car...
19:26...who appears to be feuding...
19:28...with the vehicle ahead...
19:30She's very checking...
19:31...Oh, my God.
19:34I'm about to look at her...
19:36...road rage instantly.
19:37The continual maneuvering...
19:39...on the road...
19:40...prompts a frightening response.
19:42Oh, you can get it out.
19:44It's up.
19:45It's up.
19:50It's up.
19:52It's up.
19:53Incredibly...
19:53Oh, dear.
19:55Get out of the truck.
19:56Get back to your car.
19:57An officer happens upon the scene.
20:00Get to your car.
20:01Nah, nah.
20:02She almost hit me.
20:03Just in time to avert...
20:05...a serious escalation.
20:06You know that's how easily...
20:07...people get shot, right?
20:10I got you.
20:12But situations like this...
20:14...rearly end as peaceably.
20:16In Chicago...
20:18...a driver on their morning commute...
20:21...spots a black SUV...
20:22...following closely behind a white van...
20:24...and appearing to stay behind it...
20:26...when it changes lanes.
20:28According to a witness...
20:30...the aggressive driving...
20:31...may stem from an earlier incident...
20:33...where the white van...
20:34...allegedly brake checked the SUV.
20:38After tracking alongside each other...
20:40...a short distance...
20:41...the van appears to make...
20:43...an evasive maneuver toward an exit.
20:50The black SUV also tries to exit...
20:53...but can't clear the divider.
20:57Spinning sideways across the road.
21:00It's unknown what injuries...
21:02...the SUV driver may have sustained...
21:04...or the cost of damage...
21:05...to their vehicle.
21:07But it's a powerful illustration...
21:09...of how aggression behind the wheel...
21:11...can quickly turn back...
21:13...against the aggressor.
