I am being chased down by a man who just hit me in my bag.

Yes, ma 'am. He was right over there.

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%.

Making a sudden mistake while driving can happen to anyone.

And as frightening as it can be, the most important thing is to remain calm

during the aftermath to avoid making a bad situation even worse.

Unfortunately,

That's much easier said than

done.

Are you kidding me?

Oh, no, you're good, bro. You got a green light.

In Colorado, a sedan has been driven into a tight spot on a sidewalk

construction area.

And though it's unclear how or why exactly the driver ended up there, what

is clear is that getting back out is no easy task.

Despite the assistance of the passenger, the

driver is having some difficulty reversing.

Without hitting the fences on either side.

Then, even as it appears the car is just a few feet from freeing itself,

the driver makes the confounding decision to move

forward instead.

Blowing her left front tire by driving over a fence post.

After having already apparently birthed the right rear one.

And her friend's admonitions

have no effect.

Now, with the passenger unable to get back into the car to perhaps calm the

driver down.

The driver's rash behavior gets even more so.

And

the

more she continues to pull back and forth, the worse things get.

Until finally.

Though it's not caught on camera, she somehow manages to plow through.

But incredibly, it gets even worse. As she is still on the sidewalk, but now

wedged between a car and an outdoor cafe fence.

Inspiring less laughter and more fury.

finally takes off with four flat tires and one less passenger.

Police are still investigating the incident.

But hopefully, a painful lesson learned.

Stopping and dealing with the damage done.

is infinitely better than pushing forward and causing some more.

In

Edinburgh,

Scotland, a frightening example of how a simple accusation could turn a minor

run -in into a major altercation.

A car's rear dash cam records as traffic slows, and then suddenly,

almost immediately, the driver of the red van

signals to pull over.

And though it seems to be fairly routine at first, when the driver with the dash

cam looks at his bumper, he appears to get angry.

And while the van driver is relatively calm, his

explanation is

met with an insinuation.

It seems the van driver was holding what appears to be a plastic fork

while he was driving, which from afar.

might have been mistaken by the driver who was rear -ended for a cell phone.

In

Scotland,

a minor fender bender.

that at first only seems to upset the driver who was hit,

escalates very quickly.

When he possibly mistakes a fork the other driver might have been driving

for a cell phone.

The van driver grabs the other man's neck from behind.

And in the ensuing struggle, the plastic fork in his left hand appears to graze

the other driver's face.

before he's thrown to the ground.

The visibly shaken victim

calls the police.

According to news reports, the van driver eventually pleaded guilty to an

assault charge and is ordered to pay a 240 -pound fine, as well as 400 pounds,

to the victim.

A powerful lesson.

That though reacting to a stressful situation is normal, leave the

to the police.

Because you never know who you're dealing with.

According to the American Trucking Associations, trucks transported more

billion tons of freight on U .S. roads in 2022.

And in an effort to increase efficiency, many companies use multi -trailer

semis, which enable fewer drivers.

to transport more cargo using less fuel.

But there's a hitch.

One study found that these larger, less -wieldy rigs were involved in 11 % more

accidents than single -trailer semis.

Not just because there's more to hit.

They are also much more difficult to stop.

In Utah, multiple storefront surveillance cameras pick up a

as a two -trailer semi speeds out of control

down a sidewalk.

Moments later, more cameras catch it back on the road and heading

straight for an intersection.

In Utah, a semi -multi -trailer barreled out of control down a city

sidewalk, moving back onto the road moments later and heading straight

for an intersection.

Then, continuing down

the road,

row of traffic and into a car dealership parking lot engulfed in flames,

leaving a massive amount of carnage

in its wake.

Almost immediately, police who happened to be in the area on an unrelated call

attended those affected on the road, and the disaster unfolding

at the car dealership.

Where's the driver?

Though the semi's driver has made it to safety, the truck

continues to burn, as does the dealership itself.

According to news reports, once fire crews arrive,

It takes almost 30 minutes to get the blades under control.

In total, 33 vehicles are damaged, 11 people are treated for injuries, and

one person is airlifted to a local hospital with critical injuries.

But amazingly, no one lost their life in the horrific crash, and the trucking

company claims the truck driver is doing well.

According to police documents, early indication suggested brake failure as

cause of the crash.

But the extent of the damage to the truck prevented an official

determination.

For motorcyclists around the world, The practice of lane filtering is fairly

common.

Where a biker weaves between lanes of slow or stopped traffic to get to the

front of the line.

But while it's also a common practice in the U .S., it's illegal in most states.

And in the eyes of some motorists, an apparent source of some serious

discontent.

East Lansing, Michigan.

A biker records a casual evening cruise after work.

And as he pulls up to a group of cars at a red light, he filters the head of a

driver in the left lane.

About 10 seconds later, that driver runs

the light.

But the rider appears unaffected.

And continues to the next intersection, where he acknowledges another biker.

And just a few seconds later, gets a greeting of his own.

From the driver of the silver car that just ran the light.

Have a wonderful day. I love you.

As both bikers shrug him off.

The driver makes an illegal left turn against the light and dangerously pulls

into oncoming lanes of the cross street.

He's out of his mind, dude.

I'm going to stay away from that guy.

But despite the biker's very wise decision to stay away from the driver,

makes the same turn just moments later, it becomes clear that the driver

has chosen otherwise.

Fortunately, the biker sees the man coming and swerves just in time.

But now, stunned by the sudden ambush, the biker U -turns and

makes the risky choice to follow the driver.

and get his license plate.

And as he's led down a side street, he sees that the driver now appears to be

following the other biker who takes a quick left down a sidewalk.

And when the first biker follows... Say hi.

The driver appears to strike him.

But he pulls away unharmed.

And catches up to the other biker who was watching from afar.

He was in a hurry before that. I don't know what that was about, man.

After some commiseration.

That's one of the more weird experiences I've ever had on a bike. Yeah, same.

The biker shakes it off and gets back to his evening ride.

When suddenly,

in East Lansing,

Michigan, after lane filtering at a red light, a biker draws

the fury of a driver.

And after the driver rushes him on foot.

Why?

The rider pulls ahead.

And appears to finally be in the clear.

Until.

The silver sedan blasts from a side street, just missing the biker,

who then speeds away and

squeezes through some barriers to put more than just distance between him and

his apparent pursuer.

Then, as he keeps watch for the driver,

He spots some police officers up ahead.

I am being chased down by a man who just hit me in my back.

Yes, ma 'am.

Yes, ma 'am. He's right over there.

The driver is apparently coming at him once again.

He's coming down here right now.

And just 30 seconds later.

The man brushes past both officers and appears to take a swing,

apparently sending the biker's camera flying as the

officers jump in and take control.

According to police documents, the driver is handcuffed and escorted to

But despite the biker's harrowing experience,

He later decides to drop the charges, which hopefully helps the driver to

understand that others' behavior on the road,

legal or otherwise, should never

be taken personally.
