Look at that. Oh, my God. She's doing 60 miles an hour.

It happens so fast, you don't have any time to react.

You were right on my...

In the last few years, the number of Americans on the road has skyrocketed.

And that means more traffic, more accidents, and

also more rage.

With violent road rage up nearly 500%.

Any physical altercation on the road is a bad idea.

But introducing a baseball bat into that altercation and deciding to actually

use it turns that bad idea into a potentially life -changing event.

The driver of the white truck just rammed the white car after the driver of

car. According to news reports, allegedly smashed the truck's passenger

window with the bat he is holding.

Because the truck driver allegedly wouldn't let him change lanes.

And now, the truck driver is in peril.

But after a couple of hits, the bat ends up in both their hands,

turning the violent altercation.

Suddenly, into an awkward struggle for control.

With neither man backing down, even as traffic begins to move again.

Moments later, after the two men move from the center of the road, the camera

stops recording. And according to news reports, a patrolling officer eventually

breaks up the brawl.

The driver of the car is arrested.

and charged with aggravated battery.

He later apologized, saying, it was just my instinct.

The truck driver tells the media he feared for his life and was trying to

He is not charged in the incident.

But the confrontation gives him a few bruises, and the driver of the car a

painful lesson in the consequences.

of losing control.

According to Forbes, Americans pay on average approximately $2 ,000 a year for

full coverage car insurance.

But many factors can push a driver's rate much higher than that.

From receiving points on your license, to causing an accident,

to simply

Being a senior citizen, all of which can make some drivers desperate to avoid

any new marks on their record by whatever means necessary.

In North Carolina.

How are you trying to bribe me for money, though?

I'm saying I'm not trying to bribe you. I just don't want to take advantage of

anybody. But you're saying you're going to lie and say that I hit you, but you

backed into me?

Yeah.

According to the woman filming, this man just allegedly backed his car into

hers, but is apparently asking her to accept $300 in cash instead of involving

the authorities.

Or he'll claim it was her fault.

Why would you do that?

Because I can't afford to have another accident on my record.

But you thought you were going to lie on me?

Yes, ma 'am. Why?

Because I can't afford to not lie.

I can't afford to not say that you hit me.

Well, okay.

Okay. Though an offer of cash isn't illegal, providing a false statement to

police if she doesn't accept it certainly would be.

You decide if you want to go to the bank, if you want to call the police,

lie.

That's your up.

$300.

Okay.

I'm going to call the police.

Though the final outcome of the situation is unknown, the lesson is

clear.

I'm not trying to bribe you. I just don't want to take advantage of anybody.

Never accept cash as the victim of an accident.

But you're saying you're going to lie and say that I hit you, but you backed

into me?

Yeah.

And when faced with someone who's threatening to lie to police, keep your

rolling. So you decide if you want to go to the bank, if you want to call the

police, not lie.

That's real.

Okay. I'm going to call the police.

Throughout the United States, stunt riding on public roads is illegal.

And for good reason.

And when a large group of bikers are riding together, things can get even

more chaotic and dangerous.

According to the biker filming, two motorcycles doing

wheelies collide under the overpass, one landing on its gas tank, which then...

Incredibly, despite the appearance of one of the riders covered in flames,

according to the biker filming, both are reportedly okay.

Though one does suffer a broken arm.

And though traffic is backed up, the damage appears to be limited to the two

motorcycles. But the danger of this type of riding to everyone on the road is

abundantly clear.

In St. Louis, a biker named Curtin records as he and a bunch of

other bikers and ATVers he's riding with pop wheelies on the road.

We're just out riding and having fun, burning up a weekend.

It's a great time, but it's a little dangerous for sure.

And sure enough, just a short distance ahead.

The driver over -rotate. And the impact snaps his right handlebar off.

And the throttle control with it.

When something that important breaks that fast, you don't have any time to

react.

With the throttle locked open, the ATV goes rogue, taking down a light pole

apparently near inches from another rider.

Luckily, at the last second, he swerved just barely out of the way.

He just, like, that close.

He's lucky he didn't get hit in the head.

Without thinking, Curtis jumps off his bike and moves the fallen streetlight.

I know I shouldn't have touched it because it could have been electrified.

But I was like, I don't want a car to hit it because I've hit stuff in my car.

That sucks.

Fortunately, aside from the streetlight, the only cost for this failed stunt is

a broken ATV.

But hopefully the lesson is clear to anyone who may be tempted to try stunt

riding. on the open road it's always pretty crazy how something like

so small can lead to something just wildly out of control there's always a

taunt. You're not coming to my birthday party. You're a big smelly meanie.

He immediately diffuses the situation.

Let's be friends, man. Let's be friends.

Bye. Love you.

Moments later, he pushes his goodwill crusade even further.

Let's be friends.

Love you, man. Love you. Love you. Come on, love you.

Have a good day, yeah? I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

And it turns out there's a method to his lack of madness.

If you ever get into a road rage thing, just what you do is pepper them with

compliments and then just be really silly. Say stuff like, you're not coming

People can't compute what's going on.

So remember, no matter who's in the wrong, keep it light.

You're not coming to my birthday party.

You're a big smelly meanie.

And you just might end up with a few new friends.

Love you, man. Love you.

According to a recent NHTSA report, 75 % of all pedestrian fatalities on the

road occur at locations that are not intersections.

Oh, my God, bro.

Meaning that crosswalks and traffic signals remain the safest way for

foot to cross the street.

Provided, of course, that drivers approaching these pedestrian safeguards

Obey the rule.

tickets to Disneyland.

In Des Moines, Iowa, according to an accident report, moments earlier, this

pickup truck driver allegedly sideswiped this SUV, presumably knocking the right

side running board off his own pickup and causing this heated face -to -face.

The SUV driver wisely stays inside his car.

But moments later, makes an unwise choice.

By, according to the incident report, spraying pepper spray at the truck

as he's walking away.

And though it's unclear if the trucker is aware of the spray, it becomes very

clear who he blames for the accident.

which causes him to make an even worse choice.

And then, the bad choices just keep on coming.

Both drivers go on the offensive,

but this time, the pepper spray finds its mark.

Bystanders rush in to break up the brawl.

One of them tossing the weaponized sideboard out of reach.

With an apparent face full of pepper spray, the truck driver finally

retreats for good.

A short while later, police track him down.

And according to the accident report, find empty beer cans in his vehicle.

Much worse off.

According to AAA, there are on average 220 million flat tires every year on U

.S. roads.

And though the majority of drivers pull over immediately to deal with the issue,

there are those who decide to forge ahead.

Unbelievable. Look. Look at that.

Oh, my God.

And she's doing 60 miles an hour.

Look at this.

And while many of these drivers may end up simply ruining their rim.

Bro. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

There are times when taking this risk. Are you serious?

Look at this guy.

Could be deadly.

In Kenosha, Wisconsin, police officers attempt to get the attention of a driver

who appears to be ignoring the sirens.

And perhaps more importantly, the shower of sparks coming from the minivan's

apparent flat tire.

The driver finally turns off the road and comes to a stop in front of a

pull the driver to safety in the nick of time.

According to news reports, the minivan's 84 -year -old driver, who suffers minor

burn, claims that after hearing his tire blow out, he hoped to make it home,

which is only a short distance away.

But clearly, not close enough.

In Minnesota, according to the

two men filming from a window,

This driver just drove his SUV over a large rock.

And though the extent of the damage is unclear.

And he's leaking gas everywhere.

His problem becomes obvious.

Or the rock is still under there. Oh, my God, the rock is still under there.

It's still draining it. It is. It is. It's still there.

That's amazing.

He's drinking a rock.

Unable to remove the rock himself, the driver opts for a less straightforward

approach.

No way. Yes, I find the stop sign there.

So remember, even the biggest stumbling blocks on the road. Oh my God, the rock

is still under there. Oh, so great.

Can be solved with some patience and creativity.

Did he get it? He totally did it.

He got the rock out.
