>> [Bleep] [ Laughter ]
>> Ooh!
Classic stuff right there.
>> Oh, running a red light. Oh, my God!
>> Give him the slap with a stick.
Oh, lads!
>> Oh, bro, what the [bleep]?
>> Creek! Bail, bail bail!
>> 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.
>> You got a problem, step out your car!
>> With violent road rage up nearly 500%...
[ Laughter ]
>> [ Screams ]
[ Car horn blares ]
[ Laughter ]
>> This is where the rubber meets the road.
Anytime an altercation on the road turns physical,
it can be very hard to rein it in,
especially when there are multiple people involved.
Like with these motorists in Dublin
who, for unknown reasons,
began squaring off in the street.
But even as most returned to their cars...
it only takes one man to reignite hostilities.
>> Give him the slap with a stick.
Oh, lads!
>> A near ramming escalates the hand fighting
between the two parties...
...into far more dangerous territory.
>> Oh, lads! Bumper cars.
>> The dueling sedans head off around the bend.
And though it's unclear how the situation resolves,
it shows how quickly things can turn critical
when anyone in either party refuses to let things drop.
Columbus, Ohio.
A witness in a building spots two male motorists
brawling for an unknown reason at a stoplight.
And while, at first, it's unclear
which man belongs to which vehicle,
when the female driver of the gray car gets involved...
[ Indistinct shouting ]
...the altercation appears to come to an end,
sending both men back to their respective rides.
>> Classic stuff right there.
>> But as the two parties wait for the light to turn green...
the woman in the gray sedan
appears to make an unwise decision.
>> Ooh!
>> The woman seems to throw something at the maroon vehicle,
say a few words, and then slam her door into his.
And appears to spit out her window.
>> [Bleep]
[ Indistinct shouting ]
>> Fortunately, despite the apparent taunting...
>> [Bleep]
>> ...the first driver doesn't retaliate or pursue...
>> God!
>> ...opting instead to, seemingly,
keep his frustration relatively contained.
An admirable show of restraint
that finally ends this ugly conflict,
hopefully for good.
>> [Bleep] [bleep]!
A lesson that ending a hostile exchange
requires not only gaining one's composure...
but keeping it,
no matter what's thrown at you.
>> Ooh!
>> Uh oh. [Bleep]
>> Watch out.
>> Driving in snow can be treacherous.
>> Uh-oh. >> Oh!
>> Because even a thin layer of compacted snow or ice
can cause a dangerous loss of traction.
According to Car and Driver , staying safe in snowy conditions
requires slow and smooth movements,
as if driving with a hot beverage in your lap,
to help tires maintain their grip.
Good advice, which can become very hard to follow...
when running from the police.
On a winter's day in Milwaukee.
Two officers on patrol
spot a car heading the opposite direction
that may be one they're looking for.
According to the police report, the SUV, possibly stolen,
matches the description of a vehicle
that was used in connection with an alleged crime.
And as traffic begins to move again,
the driver of the white SUV
quickly seems to confirm the officers' suspicions...
by appearing to try to lose them.
The SUV doubles back through some business lots,
which are still lined with slush from a recent snowfall.
>> In pursuit, eastbound on Hampton from Titonia.
>> Once the SUV is back on the streets,
it appears to fishtail on the wet road,
blowing a red light...
>> [Bleep]
>> ...before turning into a neighborhood...
>> We are now heading south on 21st from Hampton,
south on 21st from Hampton.
>> ...where the officers are soon able to get a glimpse...
>> Westbound on Perdue.
>> ...of the suspects inside.
>> Appears to be two occupants.
Uh, passenger has a black hoodie.
>> The car races through the residential streets
until it reaches a snow-covered dead end road
at the edge of the neighborhood.
But the lack of road isn't ending the chase.
>> He is now on the sidewalk, doing a U-turn in the snow,
coming back down south on 2-4.
>> Come back northbound.
>> We're coming southbound.
>> The pursuit makes its way back to a main street.
>> Westbound on Hampton...
>> ...where the suspects open up the throttle.
Blazing around stopped traffic...
>> Through the red at Martin Luther.
>> ...and ignoring stoplights...
>> Coming up towards 3-7. Speed's approximately 60.
>> ...as the SUV rapidly gains a significant lead.
>> Oh, [bleep].
>> ...until...
the suspects veer into another neighborhood...
>> South on 4-5, South on 4-5.
>> ...where all the streets still have a layer
of ice and snow.
>> Coming up to Glendale.
>> A serious danger...
that suddenly takes its toll.
>> Coming up to Congress here.
He's losing control.
Creek! Bail, bail, bail!
>> [Bleep] >> I'm gonna get you out.
>> Oh, my God, sir! Oh, my [bleep] God!
>> In Wisconsin...
police spot an SUV that matches the description
of a vehicle allegedly involved in a crime,
leading them on a pursuit
through Milwaukee's wintry streets.
>> He is now on the sidewalk, doing a U-turn in the snow.
>> The SUV barrels recklessly down main roads...
>> Speed's approximately 60.
>> ...and into neighborhoods with snow-covered streets.
>> South on 4-5.
>> Where the slick surface eventually...
proves too much to handle.
>> He's losing control.
Creek! Bail, bail, bail!
[Bleep]
>> The suspects fishtail across a T-intersection,
the passenger appearing to bail
as they plunge toward an icy creek,
with the cruiser unable to avoid the same fate.
>> [Bleep]
>> The officers' body cams...
>> Creek! Bail, bail, bail!
>> ...capture the harrowing crash...
>> [Bleep]
>> ...followed by a foot chase of the passenger
as the other officer approaches the driver's door.
>> My leg's gonna break!
Hurry up, sir! Why'd you do that to me?
>> It's under? >> Yes, sir!
>> [Bleep]! >> Oh, my God, sir!
>> He finds the driver in a panic,
his leg pinned under the car's tire,
possibly from when the cruiser knocked it forward.
>> I got you! I got you! I got you, bro!
>> Drive off! Drive!
>> But with the vehicle stuck in place...
...the officer tries desperately to rock it forward.
>> Is it moving?
[Bleep]! [Bleep]!
>> With the sound of backup approaching...
[ Sirens wailing ]
...the officer continues his struggle with the wrecked SUV.
>> Damn it!
>> ...until finally...
Meanwhile, down the creek...
>> Put your [bleep] hands up now! Turn around!
Turn around!
>> The other officer catches up to the runaway passenger...
...and guides him to the shallows...
>> Keep your hands up.
>> [ Indistinct ] >> I'm gonna get you out.
>> ...thankfully, with no further resistance.
Both suspects are walked out of the creek to assisting units
and though both appear unhurt,
it seems they and the officers...
>> [Bleep]
>> ...are shaken up by the ordeal.
>> [Bleep]
>> According to the police report,
both suspects are 17 years old.
They are arrested and transported to the hospital
and are booked after receiving medical clearance.
Meanwhile, a search of the vehicle reveals a handgun.
The passenger faces charges
that include possessing a dangerous weapon,
person under 18,
and according to court records,
the driver is charged with taking and driving
a vehicle without consent,
which is dismissed as he pleads guilty
to second degree recklessly endangering safety
and vehicle operator fleeing or eluding an officer.
This harrowing chase makes it clear...
>> In pursuit, eastbound on Hampton from Titonia.
>> ...that as dangerous as it is fleeing from police...
>> He is now on the sidewalk, doing a U-turn in the snow.
>> ...doing it in icy, wintry conditions
makes it much...
>> He's losing control.
Creek! Bail, bail, bail!
>> ...much worse.
>> [Bleep]
>> Motorcycle riders are the most vulnerable
drivers on the road.
Because when an accident happens...
>> Bro, what the [bleep]?
>> ...it's often the biker's body
that takes the brunt of the punishment.
According to an analysis by the NHTSA,
a motorcycle rider is five times more likely
to be injured in a crash than a passenger vehicle occupant...
and 28 times more likely to be killed.
Numbers that should make every biker extremely cautious,
even before they get out on the road.
In Vietnam.
A motor scooter rider wisely dons her helmet
as she prepares to leave work.
With the building about to close up shop,
she cautiously starts to back out,
and apparently hits a remote control
to lower the security gate a bit prematurely.
>> In Vietnam, a woman is about to leave work on her scooter,
which she had brought inside her nail salon,
but as she backs out,
she apparently triggers the security gate
via remote control...
a tad early.
The gate misses her helmet
and pins her neck against the handlebars.
She appears to try using the remote to raise it back up...
to no avail.
She manages to dismount from the bike,
but though the gate slips off her neck,
her body remains pinned
as the gate continues to fall...
until it hits the scooter's foot platform,
easing the pressure just enough for her to escape.
Though likely a terrifying ordeal,
the woman, fortunately,
doesn't appear to suffer any serious injuries.
A frightening and admittedly unusual reminder
to always check your surroundings
when on a motorized vehicle,
no matter where you happen to be.
Auto accidents can be traumatic experiences,
affecting those involved physically and mentally.
And sometimes, even in lighter crashes,
financially.
>> Oh, my God.
>> According to a recent study by the National Safety Council,
the average repair cost of a car accident in the US
is just over $6,000 per vehicle for property damage alone.
All of which means that any accident
can prove far more costly than one might anticipate.
So, the last thing a driver should want
after being involved in a crash
is to take any sort of action that might lead to another one.
In Tempe, Arizona.
Moments ago, according to a crash report,
this apparently defiant woman rear ended the car
that's now filming her.
The other vehicle follows,
seemingly trying to get her attention.
But rather than responding to them,
she continues driving,
heading off the freeway and straight toward a red light.
>> Oh, running a red light. Oh, my God!
>> Holy [bleep]!
>> In Arizona, according to a crash report,
moments ago,
this woman was involved in a rear end accident,
with the people now recording her,
and she appears to be rudely ignoring them
as they follow her from the freeway onto an off ramp,
where she heads straight toward a red light.
>> Oh, running a red light. Oh, my God!
>> Holy [bleep]!
>> What the [bleep]? >> Is she okay?
Oh, [bleep]. >> Oh, my God, dude!
Holy... >> Oh, my God.
>> Oh. 9-1-1.
>> As the SUV blows through the stoplight,
it's T-boned by a crossing pickup,
spinning the SUV around
before it flips over three times.
>> Holy [bleep]. >> Oh, my God, dude.
>> Oh, my God. >> Oh. 9-1-1.
>> The trailing driver calls authorities...
>> She ran a red light in front of us and got T-boned by a truck
and flipped over in front of us.
>> ...as bystanders run over to help.
>> Somebody's pulling her out of the car right now.
>> According to the filmer,
the SUV driver survives the crash
with seemingly minor injuries,
while any injuries to the truck driver have not been disclosed.
Though the woman, according to court records,
eventually pleads guilty to failing to stop for a red light,
the full consequences of her actions
far surpass what could have happened
if the first accident had been her last.
>> Oh, my God! >> Holy [bleep].
>> Drawbridges date back to the castles of medieval Europe,
and possibly much earlier,
as a way to cut off invading forces.
And though their function has changed,
their usefulness remains,
allowing vehicles passage over water
while maintaining access below for oversized ships.
And while the process might be inconvenient
for those in a hurry...
>> What in the [bleep]?
>> ...waiting one's turn is not only crucial for their safety...
>> How stupid do you have to be to do that one?
>> ...it's also the law.
>> Holy [bleep].
>> Fortunately, in this case,
the driver wisely reconsiders their short-sighted approach.
But there are others who, for whatever reason...
choose to press their luck.
and though this driver avoids a wipeout,
other risk takers aren't as fortunate.
In Wisconsin,
as the Racine Street drawbridge rises,
a cyclist appears intent on trying to beat it.
The biker bounces off the warning gate,
then veers toward the crevice...
which opens to the water below.
Bystanders rush over
and find the woman, incredibly, lying on a ledge in the gap.
One man is able to lift her up,
and ultimately, the woman is taken away
from the dangerous gap.
Emergency crews soon arrive to assist the woman,
who, according to news reports,
has luckily escaped with only minor injuries to her face.
The reasons behind her shaky ride
have not been publicly disclosed,
but it's hopefully a wake-up call
that trying to outmaneuver a drawbridge
under any circumstances
shows a serious gap in judgment.
