From what we understand about road rage, there reaches a point when a person stops thinking and just starts attacking everyone like they’re a honey badger. This cellphone footage of a guy in a Chevy Tahoe on a Texas freeway attacking a couple in their vehicle, then a motorcyclist seems to prove that’s how it is.
Cops in New Mexico bust a social media influencer and serial runner.
The footage, which was shared by KPRC 2, shows a man driving and filming while the woman calls police about the reckless Tahoe driver. He’s swerving all over the road and apparently had already been aggressive towards them.
Then he starts throwing something at their vehicle. Why they don’t just back off after getting the guy’s license plate is beyond us, but the man keeps trying to drive even with the road rager. Seeing they’re filming probably only enrages the suspect further.
He suddenly jerks on the steering wheel, sideswiping their vehicle with his much larger SUV, causing the man and woman to both freak out. After all, they have their baby in the car.
We’re thinking the male victim isn’t entirely thinking straight, because he chases the Tahoe down. What’s he seriously going to do? Doesn’t he realize that’s an escalation? The guy is just acting, not processing anything.
Then they get in a shouting match with the Tahoe driver, telling the guy they have a baby in their vehicle. But talking sense into the aggressor isn’t going to happen as he keeps going after them.
Finally, the big Chevy starts taking an exit ramp and the couple doesn’t follow. But they see a motorcyclist get hit by the full-size SUV, knocking the rider to the ground. It’s like the Tahoe driver is just attacking everyone by that point.
This is why backing off when someone acts this way, not chasing them down, is the wise move. Get their license plate and a description, give those to police, and let them confront the road rager.
