00:11Oh, they're going to hit.
00:12They're idiots.
00:14Oh, he's taking off.
00:16Oh, f***.
00:19Oh, my God.
00:22Look at this.
00:22Oh, my God.
00:24Oh, f***.
00:25So when you slam on your f***ing rights, I'm just supposed to immediately, my car's supposed
00:29to stop.
00:30Yeah, because you're in the car.
00:31I don't know when the f***ing rain is raining.
00:33You're the f***ing secret because I'm not like July 4, f***ing.
00:49Call somebody else a f***ing hat, f***ing.
00:51Exactly.
00:52I don't know you.
00:53Exactly.
00:53Do you know why?
00:54Because you're an idiot.
00:56Oh, I'm an idiot?
00:57I don't know any idiot.
00:58Oh, who would you call a f***?
00:59What if I got out of this car?
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.
01:17Rage.
01:17Yeah, bro, step out your car.
01:20With violent road rage up nearly 500%.
01:32This is where the rubber meets the road.
01:45Oh, no, they're going to hit, they're going to hit, and they hit.
01:49Although sharing the road should be a common agreement among all drivers.
01:53Oh, my God, these idiots.
01:54They're idiots, yeah.
01:57Disputes over the right-of-way remain a major cause of road rage.
02:01They broke their mirrors all just screaming at each other.
02:04For these vehicles, what appears to be a contentious merge.
02:07They broke each other's mirrors.
02:09Oh, he got out of the car.
02:10This guy's getting out of the car.
02:12Becomes an up-close confrontation as two men emerge from the red car.
02:17We're going to be going ahead of these guys here real soon.
02:20And physically express their frustration with the other driver.
02:24Oh, he's taking off.
02:25Oh.
02:29Oh, my God.
02:31Look at this.
02:33Oh, my God.
02:34Oh, s***.
02:35Oh, my God.
02:38Oh, my God.
02:41Thankfully, the harrowing ride is short-lived.
02:44Oh, shoot.
02:46Oh, my God.
02:50But despite the dangerous escalation...
02:55You hit my f***ing car.
02:57The blame game rages on.
03:00You're trapped with this.
03:01What?
03:01Proving that when two determined personalities both think they're in the right...
03:06You can't even leave the f***ing car.
03:08Oh, f***ing car.
03:09Oh, my God, bro.
03:10I told you.
03:10Oh, my God.
03:14It could be a tinderbox for trouble.
03:19In Florida...
03:21A minor rear-end collision has a driver on edge.
03:25What the f*** is this?
03:27Oh, f***ing chaos, man.
03:28And though, as they trade information, he seems to acknowledge fault.
03:32I'm going through the same thing.
03:33No, no, you're not.
03:34Because you're not the one responsible.
03:36Because now I'm responsible.
03:38Because it's a rear-end collision.
03:40He quickly tries to shift the blame.
03:43There was a...
03:44No, no.
03:44That guy started going.
03:46I don't care if you're recording me or not.
03:47There was an ambulance.
03:48That guy started going.
03:49There was an ambulance car turning out of here.
03:52And you need a stop for an ambulance.
03:54That guy started going.
03:54So when you slam on your f***ing brakes, I'm just supposed to immediately...
03:57My car is supposed to stop.
03:59Yeah, because there's a car...
04:00How?
04:00I don't know where the f***ing rain is right now.
04:02There was a car in front of me.
04:03Where am I going to go?
04:04This ain't even a f***, man.
04:07You think I want you to go?
04:08How the f*** am I supposed to stop when the rain is raining?
04:11How am I supposed to stop when you guys automatically started going?
04:14And then f***ing expect me to stop?
04:17But instead of responding in anger, the woman attempts a much lighter tone.
04:22I was in the same boat as you.
04:24There's someone that stopped in front of me.
04:26You were obviously not.
04:27Yes, I was, sir.
04:29A wise move, given the man's escalating temper.
04:35I cannot afford a f***ing accident right now, man.
04:39You don't even understand what this is doing.
04:41Stop f***ing recording me.
04:43I'm done it because I feel very unsafe.
04:45I feel threatened from you.
04:47Really?
04:47Because you stopped on the f***ing time.
04:49Expect me to stop.
04:49There was an ambulance.
04:50No, no.
04:51Yes, sir.
04:51It's not fair for me to have to eat your f***ing ass in.
04:55The woman alerts a passing motorist.
04:58Can you please call 911?
04:58I'll call 911.
05:00He hit the back of my car because there was an ambulance leaving, and now he's mad at me.
05:06Here, stop for a second.
05:07He don't have to do a f***ing.
05:08It's none of his business.
05:10You need to go.
05:12Go, man.
05:12It's best for you to go.
05:13I'll call 911.
05:14But even the potential of police involvement doesn't fully simmer the man down.
05:19You just f***ed my whole day up, lady.
05:24You ruined my f***ing day and my driving record now.
05:27Thank you for f***ing stopping on the gun.
05:29You ruined my car.
05:30Listen, you drove, and you ignited your car.
05:33You stopped pouring out.
05:34You stopped pouring out.
05:36There was a car in front of me.
05:39Where was I going to go, sir?
05:41Can someone come here, please?
05:43Can I have a picture of your ID?
05:44Of course you can.
05:45Okay.
05:46Because now that we're doing this, it's a tit for tat.
05:48Of course.
05:48Because this is going to be a fire.
05:49Can you call the cops, please?
05:51This guy had hit me, and he's being very erratic, and he won't call the cops, please.
05:56Okay.
05:56So now you can call the cops.
05:59I would like to keep this on record.
06:01You need to stop involving people.
06:02No, you're not on record.
06:03You need to call the cops, please.
06:06Despite the woman's best efforts to de-escalate, the man's anger boils anew.
06:11I have a camera back here that you hit me, buddy.
06:14You just screwed me, too.
06:15Of course I did, too.
06:16It's a rear-end hit.
06:17Yeah.
06:18But you f***ing stopped in front of me, and the car slid into you.
06:21I couldn't control it.
06:22I couldn't control it either.
06:24How was I supposed to control the car's life?
06:24There was a car in front of me, too, sir.
06:27And when the woman solicits yet another witness...
06:30Do you mind calling them for me?
06:32I don't want to take this off a record.
06:35He hit my car because there's an ambulance leaving.
06:39The man appears to warn them away.
06:42No, I got this under control.
06:44I'm calling the cops.
06:45You don't need to f***ing be involved.
06:47You don't have to be nasty.
06:49This is how people get their self-control.
06:50No, if you would have just called the cops like I asked.
06:53I'm sorry.
06:53It's not allowing me to.
06:54Finally, the man makes good on his promise to call authorities.
06:58Look, I'm going to do it again.
07:00911?
07:01Hello?
07:04Yeah, yes.
07:05I had an accident.
07:09According to the video source, police arrive to resolve the dispute
07:12before the heated showdown gets any worse.
07:16This testy confrontation had the potential for an ugly outcome.
07:21You don't even understand what this is doing.
07:23Stop f***ing recording me.
07:25Thankfully, at least one of the parties kept their cool.
07:28I was in the same boat as you.
07:30There's someone that stopped and caught me.
07:32Even if the other was losing theirs.
07:35You hit me, buddy.
07:37You just screwed me, too.
07:38Of course I hit you.
07:38Rear-hand hit.
07:39Yeah.
07:45With an estimated 330,000 stoplights in the U.S.,
07:50occasionally there are bound to be some technical glitches.
07:57Some of which can be decidedly confusing.
08:06While structural issues
08:12can be life-threatening.
08:14So in order to prevent situations like these from happening,
08:18especially during peak traffic times,
08:22routine stoplight maintenance is often scheduled during off-peak hours,
08:26making it more convenient to commuters and safer for the work crew.
08:31Of course, with so many stoplights and only so much time to work on them,
08:36sometimes workers and drivers are unfortunately
08:40forced to share the road.
08:45At a busy intersection,
08:48a work crew uses a bucket truck
08:49to perform midday maintenance on a stoplight.
08:52Though the truck itself is coned off,
08:55they've left all lanes open,
08:57allowing drivers to pass through completely unencumbered.
09:01Or at least,
09:02most of them.
09:14In Louisiana,
09:16a bucket truck crew works on a stoplight during midday traffic,
09:20allowing vehicles to pass underneath.
09:22But while the light is more than high enough for most vehicles to clear it easily,
09:27the worker's bucket beneath it most certainly
09:35is not.
09:39Despite the presence of a worker in the street,
09:42a semi makes a wide turn through the intersection,
09:47slamming the bucket and upending the workman,
09:50who is fortunately wearing a safety harness.
09:55He's left dangling head first above the concrete,
09:58while his crew scrambles to respond.
10:02But not wanting to make any sudden movements with the bucket arm,
10:06one of the workers serves as a spotter,
10:11while the hanging crewman
10:15manages to flip himself upright.
10:19The semi-driver approaches the scene,
10:23along with a motorcycle officer who happened to be nearby.
10:27The officer blocks off the road,
10:29and a rescue team is alerted.
10:32According to news reports,
10:34the crewman is soon freed,
10:36having suffered only minor injuries
10:38that don't require a trip to the hospital.
10:41Good news for him,
10:43and for the trucker,
10:45who was clearly shaken by the mishap.
10:48It is unknown if any charges are filed in the incident.
10:52But one thing is clear,
10:54no matter what color a stoplight shows,
10:56when work crews and traffic occupy the same roadway,
11:03everyone should proceed with caution.
11:12Driving in a residential area
11:15requires a heightened sense of vigilance,
11:18where every driver
11:22must constantly watch for kids,
11:24animals,
11:25and other foot traffic,
11:26which can occasionally
11:32lead to some friction,
11:37like it has between the driver recording
11:41and this dog walker.
11:42You're the one that keeps screaming at me
11:44every f***ing day.
11:45I'm going slow.
11:47I couldn't go around you.
11:49I could not go around you
11:51if there's another car coming
11:52and you're in the middle of the road.
11:54Then stop.
11:55Then move off the road.
11:57No.
11:57It is a passenger.
11:59It's a pedestrian road.
12:02Yes.
12:02And instead of both parties
12:04finding a way to peacefully coexist...
12:06Exactly.
12:06I don't know you.
12:08Exactly.
12:08Do you know why?
12:09Because you're an idiot.
12:10Oh, I'm an idiot?
12:11I don't know any idiot.
12:12It turns into a turf war.
12:15Who would you call a fat f***
12:16if I got out of this car?
12:18I am not a fat f***,
12:20but you call me one, bitch,
12:22only because you drive like one.
12:24And sadly,
12:25some of these wars
12:27go far beyond insults.
12:30In Florida,
12:32a sports car driver
12:34with a mounted tail camera
12:35cruises through her neighborhood
12:37when she spots a resident ahead
12:39whom she apparently
12:43has a problem with
12:45and when the man and his dog
12:49start to approach
12:55an apparent near miss
12:58is followed by
12:59a confrontation
13:02with a gun.
13:04Oh!
13:05Oh, walk in the f*** away!
13:07Break it!
13:07Watch your life, oh!
13:08F***!
13:15In Florida,
13:17a sports car driver
13:19encounters a neighbor
13:20that draws her ire.
13:26According to her,
13:27their family keeps getting in her way
13:29while she's driving.
13:31And this time,
13:35she goes ballistic.
13:38Oh!
13:39Move!
13:40Go!
13:41Get the f*** away from me!
13:42Now, what is my f*** away?
13:44With family rushing
13:46to the man's defense,
13:47the driver turns her wrath
13:49on them all.
13:50No, I think they do
13:51that with my f***!
13:53That f***!
13:54That's my life,
13:54that's my life,
13:55that's my f***!
13:56That's my f***!
13:57I don't want to call her.
13:57Call the cops!
13:58Call them!
13:59Call them!
14:03The family retreats
14:05to call police.
14:06So I'm running
14:07in front of my f*** car!
14:09Who pay the driver
14:10a visit at her home
14:11soon after.
14:12Hey, good morning.
14:13Let me talk to you
14:13for a minute.
14:14And hear her side
14:15of the story.
14:16I've had problems
14:17with these people last night.
14:18I'm driving,
14:19my car is loud.
14:20And I'm driving in last night.
14:22I guess they had kids
14:23out there playing,
14:24but I saw the kids.
14:25I'm not stupid,
14:26I have kids.
14:27So I'm coming in
14:28and they all jump
14:30in front of my car
14:31like this.
14:32Now what if I would've
14:32hit one of you guys?
14:33You're jumping
14:34in front of my car.
14:35This morning I'm leaving
14:36to go get s***
14:37and breakfast for my kids.
14:39And they're walking
14:40the dog, I guess.
14:41I have it on my
14:42car video.
14:44And there's one
14:45standing right there
14:46and one standing
14:46right there.
14:47And I don't know,
14:48are you guys gonna
14:49jump in front of my car again?
14:50Though the driver
14:51paints herself
14:52as the aggrieved party.
14:53He's like running
14:54up on my side
14:55of the door
14:55and I have a gun,
14:57I carry.
14:58So I stand out
14:59of the car
14:59and I'm like,
15:00what are you trying
15:01to do, man?
15:02Like, you're a guy
15:02and I'm a woman.
15:03Her version of events
15:04stands in stark contrast
15:08to the actions
15:09captured by her
15:10own car camera
15:13and her exiting
15:15of the vehicle
15:15while wielding a gun.
15:17I like to lie,
15:18f***ing f***ing f***ing.
15:20Leaving her
15:20in a very bad position.
15:22Unfortunately,
15:23I cannot let you go.
15:26You are legally detained
15:28and you're not free to go.
15:29Okay?
15:31The driver is arrested
15:32and according to court documents
15:34is charged
15:35with aggravated assault
15:36with a deadly weapon
15:37without intent to kill.
15:39She has pled not guilty
15:41and as a production,
15:42the case is ongoing.
15:45But it's a potentially
15:47high price to pay
15:48for being a very
15:50unneighborly driver.
15:58when a car breaks down
15:59along the road,
16:00sometimes hazard lights
16:05just aren't enough.
16:09According to AAA,
16:11flares or other warning markers
16:13should be included
16:14in any vehicle safety kit
16:15to increase one's visibility
16:17in the case
16:18of a roadside emergency.
16:20An important practice
16:21for all civilians
16:22to follow.
16:28But even more so
16:30for any emergency professionals
16:32in Prada, Brazil.
16:36A tow truck driver
16:37attaches a cable to a car
16:39preparing to pull it
16:40from a garage.
16:42Despite parking
16:43in the middle of the street,
16:44the tow truck driver
16:45doesn't appear
16:46to use cones
16:46or warning markers.
16:48And while there seems
16:49to be very little activity
16:51on the road at the time,
16:52just down the street,
16:54a preoccupied motorcyclist
16:56is loading up his bike.
16:59The motorcyclist
17:00goes inside
17:01just as another biker
17:03turns onto the street.
17:09Fortunately,
17:10seeing the tow cable
17:11in time
17:11and steering safely
17:13around it.
17:15But the tow truck driver
17:17still doesn't appear
17:18to warn others
17:19of the danger.
17:20And when the first
17:22motorcyclist
17:23returns and mounts up,
17:38In Brazil,
17:39a tow truck driver
17:41stretches a steel cable
17:42across a road
17:43in order to pull a car
17:44from a garage.
17:45But he doesn't appear
17:47to set out
17:47any warning markers.
17:49And when a motorcyclist
17:51saddles up for a ride,
18:02the motorcyclist
18:03hits the cable
18:04at neck height,
18:06flinging him
18:07to the pavement.
18:14Somehow,
18:15the biker stands,
18:17though he appears
18:19to be grimacing
18:20in pain.
18:25Despite the tow truck driver
18:27appearing to pass the blame,
18:29according to a news source,
18:31he takes the motorcyclist
18:32to the emergency room
18:33himself,
18:33where the man
18:34is treated
18:35for his injuries.
18:37Any charges related
18:38to the event
18:39are unknown.
18:40But the devastating crash
18:42serves as an important lesson.
18:45Always put up warning signs
18:46when stopped on
18:47or beside a road.
18:49And always proceed
18:51with caution
18:52past any stopped vehicles.
18:57So that their emergency
19:02doesn't become your own.
19:10three-wheeled ATVs
19:12were all the rage
19:13in the 1970s
19:14and 80s.
19:15We're going to get
19:16a few of these
19:16three-wheelers out today
19:17and put it around
19:18for a few minutes
19:18and see what they do.
19:20But one reason
19:21their popularity faltered...
19:32instability...
19:34which is why ATVs
19:36like this
19:37have been banned
19:38from being produced
19:39and sold in the U.S.
19:41since 1988.
19:44All right.
19:47No more of that.
19:49Modern three-wheelers
19:50use a tadpole design
19:52with two wheels in front
19:54and one in the back.
19:56Which is better
19:57for stability.
19:59Better.
20:01But not perfect.
20:03In Hot Springs, Arkansas,
20:05a bus's dash cam
20:07records traffic
20:08which includes
20:09a three-wheeled trike
20:10when suddenly
20:17a slowdown ahead
20:19catches the driver
20:20off guard
20:22and a jerk
20:23of the handlebars
20:23tips the rear
20:24of the trike
20:25to its left
20:26throwing the passenger
20:27head first
20:27into a car
20:31then drags her
20:33directly into
20:33the path
