Saw what I think was road rage today

I was going south on a four lane highway. In the northbound lane, there was a four to five car collision— one car behind the other. In front was a gray car, second from the front was a white car, behind that was a red car, etc. I observed the second, white car, pop into reverse and ram the car that hit it in the back. If that wasn’t weird enough, the white car then rams the car in front of it. The white car then pushed the gray car probably fifty yards. When the gray car was stopped, you could see that the white car’s rear tires were still spinning. Anyway, wow!

I recently found out that road rage is an actual factor certain insurance companies use to calculate premiums. It makes sense, but I wonder how they determine whether someone has road rage. It must be something a police officer or insurance investigator determines after an accident.
Anyway, that would be something to witness. That's some bizarre behavior you described.

Maybe the white car was upset because all the other cars were COCs (cars of color)




. Just kidding just kidding.
I was driving my dump truck last year and three of my guys were with me. And for some reason whenever you're driving a vehicle larger than a regular pickup, most people think they have to pass you no matter if you're going over the speed limit or not, especially if they're going to be taking the exit ramp. So this guy in a 4 door Saab cuts in front of me to take the exit and side swipes my front bumper. We pull over and he gets out screaming at the top of his lungs talking about how I hit him and he was calling the police to report me for reckless driving and all sorts of stuff. Police show up and he says I was driving recklessly and that we were trying to intimidate him by all four of us getting out of the truck at the same time. Cop comes over to me and ask me what my side of the story was and by that time I already had my dash cam video ready on my phone. I didn't even have to actually say anything, it was great. I don't know what they charged the guy with but they towed his car and arrested him for some reason. Warrants maybe, I have no idea, but it was great. Moral of the story, get a dash cam
