Arkansas State Police reminds drivers to keep cool, avoid road rage on state roads & highways
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – 'Keep it cool' is the advice Arkansas State Police Troopers are giving drivers during the summer driving season. ASP officials said keeping a level head is important as they are seeing an increase in aggressive driving incident reports. As of Friday, the ASP investigated 440 road rage incidents, including 153 involving at least one weapon. Arkansas State Police honors Troopers of the Year In 2024, ASP processed 800 road rage cases, including 333 with a weapon. This represented a significant increase from 2024, when 284 road rage incidents were reported, according to officials. ASP officials offered tips to prevent road rage incidents: Avoid engaging other drivers, even if they have done something to make you angry or you have made them angry. Put as much distance between you and the other driver as possible. Try not to make eye contact with them. Never, ever pull off the roadway to confront them. They could have weapons. Avoid creating a competitive situation with another driver, even if he is at fault. Try not to take another person's aggressive driving personally. If a speeding driver is tailgating you or trying to engage you in risky driving, safely steer your vehicle out of the way. Call law enforcement if you believe a driver is following you or harassing you. On the final point, ASP officials urge motorists not to hesitate to call authorities if they witness road rage. If you are a victim of road rage or aggressive driving that puts you or other motorists at risk, please report the incident. Call 911 or, in non-emergency incidents, call *ASP (*277) to be connected to the local Troop Headquarters. 'Troopers understand that driving can be frustrating at times, but aggressive driving and road rage are not the answer,' said Arkansas State Police director Col. Mike Hagar, adding 'Remember, road rage can lead to dangerous situations that put your life and the lives of others at risk.'

Moment furious driver HEADBUTTS van's window & screams ‘get out of the way' in blazing road rage row
Milad Sherzad, News Reporter Published: Invalid Date, THIS is the shocking moment a furious driver headbutted a van's window before launching into a furious road rage rant. As temperatures soared during the heatwave last week, one van driver struggled to keep his cool after coming face to face with another vehicle at a junction in West Kensington, London. 6 6 6 The pair of vans almost collided while trying to turn at the intersection, causing one driver to completely lose his head. In incredible footage, the hot-headed driver can be seen with his face close to the driver-side window of the other van, shouting at the motorist. He can be heard shouting "get out of the f**king way" before pulling on the other van's door handle. As other frustrated motorists begin to blare their horns, it appears to set the angered van driver off, inspiring him to smack his head against the other van's window. Onlookers were left disgusted as the enraged van driver turned even more foul with his language, at one point even threatening the motorist. He appears to scream out: "I'll f**king kill you man. Get out of the f**king way. Get out of the way." Midway through his foul-mouthed tirade, the driver then walks around to the other side of the vehicle. Sounds of the man hitting the vehicle appear to echo through the street, with the angry driver continuing to shout: "Get out of my way." Eventually, the rage-filled driver relents and returns to his motor - reversing it and then driving away. Not before he leaves, however, the driver stops once more to look at the other motorist before shouting further expletives and gesturing at him. Moment driver pounds car with bat before being rammed by 'idiot' motorist One passerby, who wanted to remain nameless, said she heard the man shouting: 'Get out the way, move, get out the f**king way.' Ironically, the driver of the motor transporting ice remained cool and calm during the tirade. Temperatures hit around 27C in London on Friday, when the shocking exchange took place. The passerby explained that they believed the ice van driver should have given priority to the other vehicle. They added: "However, it does not give any right for the man to behave aggressively and shout and go full on rage. 'I genuinely thought he was about to drag the ice driver out of the van and start a fight. 'It was a hot summer Friday afternoon, and the heat probably didn't help the situation.' Members of the public were left shocked by the footage. Lee Willis said: 'Telling him to get out the way then he is the one who moves.' Another added: 'For god sake, one of you just move out the way, takes more of a man not to have so much ego.' 6
