00:10It's a one-way street, see it?
00:12I know, and I didn't think so.
00:16You can back up, put it in reverse.
00:18I know.
00:19Get the out of the way.
00:23Watch out.
00:29Oh!
00:33You don't know how to drive in this stuff.
00:41God!
00:52You can hold your phone, I'll give two .
00:54Hey, what's going on?
00:55Dude, you could get beat the up, bitch.
00:58Watch the car, bitch!
01:00Watch the car, bitch!
01:01Watch the car, bitch!
01:02In the last few years, the number of Americans on the road has skyrocketed.
01:08And that means more traffic, more accidents, and also more rage.
01:17Hey, y'all, come on, sit back and talk!
01:20With violent road rage up nearly 500%, this is where the rubber meets the road.
01:35.
01:44So this is a one-way parking lot.
01:48This woman is trying to go the wrong way and isn't moving.
01:54Although parking lots tend to have relatively few rules.
01:57It's a one-way street!
02:00That's what I've been saying.
02:03It's important those rules are followed.
02:06Back up and go around and pulling!
02:09Back up and out of the way!
02:11You have to-
02:12You can't get out of the way!
02:13This is a one-way street!
02:15I know!
02:15And you back up and go that way!
02:18Just back up!
02:18You can't back up!
02:20Put it in reverse and go 20 feet backwards!
02:23Get the f***ing out of the way!
02:25Move your f***ing car!
02:27And while authorities can help sort out actual driving infractions...
02:32You're going the wrong way!
02:34Trying to go right here!
02:38...is sometimes the unwritten rules that garner the most hostility.
02:43No f***ing way!
02:46Such as a person on foot trying to claim a parking space for a circling driver.
02:50Don't ever try to f***ing sit in my spot or else we'll run you over.
02:54You dumb bitch!
02:54Get the f*** out of my way!
02:58And these types of clashes, if not checked quickly...
03:02People are dumbasses.
03:04Run the risk of turning violent.
03:07On the 4th of July in Austin, Texas.
03:12After a fireworks show, patrons in a packed parking lot square off over the right-of-way.
03:17I told you we was going to go through, right?
03:19What's up?
03:20Peach, you can hold you to find out you have two f***ing.
03:23What's going on?
03:23Because you can get beat the f***ing up, Peach.
03:25No, no, no.
03:25Because you've got f***ing pulling up when we're trying to pull out.
03:27We're all in line.
03:28Everybody else is trying to get out of line.
03:29You're cutting every single other person.
03:31You're right.
03:33We were sitting here way longer than you.
03:36According to the people filming, the other car attempted to intimidate them
03:40in an effort to cut in front of them and exit the crowded parking lot.
03:44You guys don't know how to control yourselves.
03:46But the people filming refused, saying they needed to wait their turn.
03:51What's going on?
03:52This is how it always goes.
03:55It's a line.
03:56Everybody's trying to leave.
03:58We're all trying to go at the same exit.
04:00Lock your door, will you?
04:03Unfortunately, one woman appears unwilling to let it go.
04:07There's nothing to be worried about.
04:09It's time.
04:10There's something you need to do, like, at this time, at this hour.
04:14There should be a plan for that.
04:16Though her two cohorts seem to finally convince her to get in the car.
04:23But not for long.
04:29What are you doing?
04:33What are you doing?
04:33I feel the salt now.
04:35You're just...
04:36Just get their license and then just...
04:39The couple with the camera documents the license plate of the other vehicle,
04:44as the woman is pulled away again.
04:46But when they briefly switch their camera off...
04:50Why?
04:51Why?
04:52She's back.
04:53There's literally nothing we did.
04:54Until the man she's with appears to escort her back to their vehicle once again.
04:59This time, apparently, we're good.
05:03Both parties do eventually make it out of the parking lot.
05:06You're cutting every single other person.
05:09We were sitting here way longer than you.
05:12Thankfully, without making physical contact.
05:14And hopefully having learned the most important rule of parking lots.
05:19I want your car, Pete!
05:21I want your car, Pete!
05:22I want your car, Pete!
05:22Yo, what are you doing?
05:24Patience is a virtue.
05:26There's literally nothing we did.
05:31There's literally nothing we did.
05:33Any time an accident happens...
05:38An emotional reaction...
05:42God!
05:43...is sure to follow.
05:45Charge!
05:47But emotions can also lead to accidents.
05:49With a university study finding that driving while sad or angry...
05:53God!
05:56...increases crash risk nearly tenfold.
05:59You gotta get me!
06:01Which is why it's recommended that anyone experiencing heightened emotion
06:06either delay getting behind the wheel,
06:08or even get someone else to drive for them.
06:12Because depending on what's causing the person's emotional state,
06:16the risks of a crash...
06:18...could be even higher.
06:20In Australia...
06:23...a witness records as a fight unfolds in the streets.
06:33According to local media, the woman in the truck is feuding with a male acquaintance...
06:38...over a matter of $300...
06:42...nearly crushing him as his female passenger moves to safety.
06:45The man appears to confront the woman...
06:48Punch me out, brother!
06:50Punch me out!
06:51Punch me out!
06:51...just as an ambulance happens upon the scene.
06:55And whatever is discussed between the three parties...
07:00...appears to bring the situation to an end.
07:12...but almost immediately...
07:14Hey, where is this coming about?
07:17...the woman is held up at an intersection...
07:22...giving some of the motorists who were caught behind the log jam the opportunity...
07:28to speak their mind.
07:33And unfortunately, after they talk with her,
07:36the volatile situation gets even worse.
07:49In Australia,
07:54a witness in the building
07:56films a dispute between a woman
07:57in this white pickup
07:58and a male acquaintance,
08:00which has become dangerous.
08:02Punch me out, brother.
08:03Punch me out.
08:05And though a passerby in an ambulance
08:07appears to help bring
08:08the immediate conflict to an end.
08:11Hey, where is this going, bro?
08:14When the woman appears
08:15to be spoken to by bystanders
08:17who have been held up by the fracas,
08:22things ratchet up again.
08:28Yeah, jam him in there, brother.
08:31Smash his window.
08:42Oh, no.
08:45Hey,
08:57let's eat.
08:59According to news reports,
09:01the 29-year-old woman
09:02is soon arrested.
09:06And though she later admits
09:07to feeling shame
09:08and regret for her actions,
09:10according to the Daily Telegraph,
09:12Her charges include driving recklessly in a dangerous manner, destroying or damaging property, and two counts of common assault.
09:21Her sentencing includes 18 months jail time, two years of community corrections, and she is banned from driving for one
09:32year.
09:33A steep penalty for letting one's emotions get the better of them.
09:49Just stay here, honey. There's nothing we can do.
09:53Knowing how to handle snowy road conditions...
09:57He don't know how to drive in this stuff.
09:59...is important for any driver.
10:02He's sideways.
10:04Especially with the Department of Transportation reporting that over 70% of U.S. roads are located in snowy regions,
10:12which average at least five inches of snowfall annually.
10:16Oh, I'm just another day on the way to Boston, and then eight feet of snow.
10:21And those who are unprepared for these conditions...
10:25Oh, whoops. What's that?
10:27...could land in trouble with no easy way out.
10:30Uh...
10:30But sometimes, where there's a will, there might be a way.
10:38On a highway in Arkansas, a drone operator captures a pickup that somehow ended up in the snow-lined, valley
10:46-like median of the highway.
10:47And from the look of the churned-up mud all around it, the driver's been struggling to get out for
10:54some time.
10:55The challenge? The driver must go fast enough to make it up the snowy hill.
11:04While timing his arrival at the crest perfectly.
11:08So as to not overshoot and run into the passing highway traffic.
11:23But even when he seems to get the timing just right, it's not quite enough.
11:35As his rear wheels appear to keep losing their grip.
11:39All while the carcass of another truck, apparently abandoned, serves as a warning of what will happen if he fails.
11:50But just when all is looking lost...
12:03Prove positive that while hope does sometimes spring eternal, tire chains might be faster.
12:15Legal professionals estimate that the average person will experience three to four car accidents in their lifetime.
12:22With most of those...
12:26Thankfully, relatively minor.
12:33But be warned, in the less likely event of a severe crash, it can be a shock not just physically,
12:40but emotionally.
12:42Leaving those involved reeling...
12:45In more ways than one.
12:47On a busy road in Salem, Virginia...
12:51A biker's helmet cam records...
12:53When suddenly...
12:56Oh, f***.
13:02In Virginia...
13:05Oh, f***.
13:10On a busy street, a motorcyclist in the right lane turns left in front of a sedan.
13:18Resulting in a devastating collision.
13:22As he struggles to rise, the sedan driver...
13:26Oh, my God!
13:27You okay?
13:28Retreats to the curb.
13:30Clearly flustered.
13:32Prompting the biker filming to check on the other biker.
13:36You good, dude?
13:38You good?
13:39I'm good.
13:39You okay?
13:42You okay?
13:42I'm okay.
13:43Can you go call 911?
13:44I didn't even see anything, right?
13:45I know.
13:46Go call 911.
13:47Then, incredibly...
13:48Hold on.
13:49You alright, buddy?
13:51A medic happens to be on scene.
13:53I think so.
13:54I'm sorry.
13:56It begins tending to the biker, who has suffered a significant hand injury.
14:01You have your helmet on?
14:02Yeah.
14:03Oh, f***.
14:06Several bystanders form an impromptu team.
14:08Keep your head straight, Dad.
14:10Keep your head straight.
14:10Keep your head straight.
14:11With some calling for help.
14:13Take my f*** in the phone.
14:15Some assisting the biker.
14:18Oh, f***.
14:20While the man with the helmet cam...
14:22Hey, come on, come on.
14:23Let's go over here.
14:24Oh, my God.
14:25Comforts the distraught driver.
14:27Oh, my God.
14:30Hey.
14:31Hey.
14:32You're both alive, okay?
14:35It's okay.
14:38Take some deep breaths.
14:43A civilian safely directs traffic...
14:47...until emergency personnel arrive to take over.
14:51He's 19.
14:52He struck this bar right here.
14:53He's complaining of pain in his right leg.
14:55He's got a mostly amputated finger.
15:00I've wrapped that up already.
15:02According to the man filming, despite the EMT's dire assessment, the biker's injury is treated and his finger is saved.
15:11And while it's unknown if any citations are given out, both men are lucky.
15:17That when a traumatic situation unfolded on the road...
15:21Oh, f***.
15:23Bystanders were able to keep things calm and controlled.
15:26Dog, are you okay?
15:28I'm okay.
15:29Can you go call 911?
15:30I didn't even see him.
15:31It came right.
15:31Yeah, I know.
15:32Go call 911.
15:32...and ultimately help those...
15:36...who are unable to help themselves.
15:39Hey, you're both alive, okay?
15:42It's okay.
15:49Though it may seem unlikely to the average driver...
15:56One estimate suggests that landslides occur over half a million times worldwide each year.
16:03Unbelievable.
16:08And according to the World Health Organization...
16:12...over a recent two-decade period...
16:16...landslides have affected an estimated 4.8 million people.
16:22...and caused more than 18,000 deaths.
16:26Attention!
16:35But while many of these events occur with very little warning...
16:39...and can be quickly overwhelming...
16:54...sometimes the signs of an impending disaster like this are much more clear...
17:00...if one knows what to look for.
17:03In China...
17:05...on a mountainside freeway...
17:08...a small skittering of rocks topples onto the road.
17:12A minor spill that could be an isolated occurrence.
17:17Most cars simply make their way around it...
17:20...and continue on their commute.
17:26Until one car...
17:28...gets held up by traffic.
17:30And as it waits...
17:32...a single rock seems to be a signal...
17:35...that the worst...
17:37...is yet to come.
17:47On a highway in China...
17:50...a small rock slide on the edge of the road...
17:53...is seen as a mild inconvenience for much of passing traffic.
17:58But as one car waits to merge into the clear left lane...
18:03...a single additional rock seems to tip the driver off...
18:07...that there may be more to come.
18:20Instead of driving forward when traffic is clear...
18:24...the driver wisely reverses...
18:26...and dodges a massive cascade of rocks and trees...
18:31...incredibly appearing to avoid any contact with the powerful landslide.
18:36According to news reports...
18:38...preliminary assessments suggest rainfall led to the sudden collapse...
18:42...causing a mess that will require three days for emergency crews to clear.
18:47Fortunately, a very alert driver saw the signs...
18:53...and took evasive action...
18:57...before getting caught in the downfall.
19:05Despite bicycles being one of the riskiest vehicles to take on the road...
19:14...there is no federal or state law requiring adults to wear helmets when riding one...
19:19...with any such laws handled solely at the local or municipal level.
19:24But while adult helmet laws are the exception rather than the rule...
19:29...riders would be wise to wear head protection regardless.
19:35Not only to protect themselves from other drivers...
19:38You okay?
19:40Stop sign, right?
19:41But also...
19:43...for more unexpected risks...
19:46...like imperfect roads...
19:48Ooh!
19:49Watch out for that!
19:51Ooh!
19:52Get down!
19:54Aggressive pets...
20:00...and sometimes even...
20:03...a rider's own mistake.
20:05In Colorado...
20:08...on a road popular with cyclists and joggers...
20:11...a biker merges for what should be a simple left turn.
20:16Ooh!
20:20To his credit...
20:21...the biker did look back...
20:23...and even signaled...
20:24...but with no helmet.
20:26His precautions only do so much.
20:32He sits up slowly appearing dazed.
20:36You alright?
20:37The witnesses from the car go to assist.
20:40But when they try to pick him up...
20:42...it quickly becomes clear...
20:46...that the man is in no condition to ride...
20:48...or even walk...
20:50...anywhere.
20:51According to a witness...
20:53...the Samaritans help arrange for alternate transportation home.
20:58While one bystander retrieves the cyclist's...
21:01...lone piece of headgear...
21:02...a ball cap.
21:05A powerful reminder to always protect yourself...
21:08...in the best way possible...
21:10...regardless of what the rules are.
21:14Oh!
