This law is a enhancer. It's similar to hate crime laws. You get charged with the underlying offense, and on top of that you get charged with the the road rage, which increases the potential sentence. It also can create a chargeable offense, if the behavior falls short of the existing laws, but is still deemed a problem. Think about a driver who comes close to ramming you or forcing you off the road, but doesn't make any contact. They might not have violated any existing laws, but the behavior is still bad. This new law allows you to punish them too.

Along with not going 10+ under the posted speed limit or 10+ over. Most people today treat speed limit signs like an incurable fatal disease that instakills you if you drive within 10 mph of it.
I dislike road rage just as much as the next guy. The problem with the new law is that it gives the government too much freedom to punish people. If a cop is having a bad day, and a person driving safely that hates cops, gives the cop the bird. We'll now I can see the cop abusing this new law and claim the safe driver is now a road rage driver. We shouldn't be giving open ended power like this to the government. They will abuse it.
I totally agree here. I simply waved at a sheriff this week and he just gave me a smug look. Smhuh….i am not a fan of cops in general though either. They completely abuse their power.
It's about time a state cracks down on this mess. Especially with those who drive 80+ on the highways expecting the speed limit to be optional. Do you not value other lives on the road? You not only put yourself in danger but also the drivers around you.
This Ram driver , his ego is bigger then what he thinks he truck is. Need to make front and rear license plates mandatory by law then when some one like this thinks his Willy is bigger then his hemi the get put behind bars where they belong. If they payment is too much take their land or home. Then they can explain to their family why.
That's kind-of how the democratic process wants it to go down. All we'd need is a republic if people would choose to do what's right instead of letting ego, wealth or public perception guide their way. And, the process wouldn't exist to take all our money for no "good" reason.
They don't punish either. Just recently a woman in my town received her 13th DUI conviction. They just give them a fine and a slap on the wrist and they immediately go out and do it again. Any kind of dangerous or aggressive driving should result in a 6-month license suspension for the first offense, 5 years for the second offense and lifetime for a 3rd. Along with that they need to be banned from owning or registering a vehicle.
@@nodak81 that does not stop anything. Had a hit and run. Tldr is he got almost 20 moving violations in 6 years including 5 hit and runs and 1 fleeing from an officer.

If you offend them you are jailed for 1 year. Just as a starting point. No questions.
Here's an idea. If you're are fined with road rage incident, allow auto insurance double the premium. That'll stop road rage almost instantly. Money talks...

Germany.- Road rage, insults, and rude gestures in traffic can lead to fines and prison sentences for drivers who shout insults or make offensive gestures while driving. They've had that for decades
The way that the policeman was talking about the law, it isn't a "primary" offense. It can be used to "enhance" other charges into a felony. Make the blinkety-blank law a primary offense & allow use of citizen dash cameras to apprehend and charge the ragers.

There is a vast difference between vehicular crimes like ramming vs. swearing and giving someone the bird. Yes, both are a type of rage, but the ladder is more what people expect.
assault with a deadly weapon. if people can be charged with that for driving at cops, then they should be charged the same way when they do it to a regular person
@@arthurdavis1065 exactly but gives idiot people too much power. So no evidence not witnesses by law enforcement they could lie and try and have you charged
Maybe something like, if they were brake checking or cutting someone off and get into an accident, more serious consequences like license revoked. That's what I'm assuming. Could be witnessed by dashcam.
Road rage penalties should be: 1st time: no license for 1 year, impound car for one year, $2000 fine, 25% of all points applied (so if the limit is 12 points, give them 3), GPS monitoring, report to auto insurer. 2nd time: jail for 1 year, impound car for one year, $5000 fine, 75% of all points applied, report to auto insurer. 3rd time: permanent revocation of driving privileges nationwide, 5 years in prison, $10,000 fine, report to auto insurer. Double the fines if minors in are the other vehicle. If you are here illegally and doing that, immediate deportation and lifelong ban from entering America.
First offense of driving aggressively where you’re tailgating someone or brake checking them anything like that should be a mandatory one year suspension of your license. If you don’t learn your lesson after that, it should be mandatory jail time and if you don’t like that, then learn to control your emotions and keep your stuff together and be polite on the road.
You can see on the top of the Ram truck at 0:51 the light bar and push bumper of the Ragger trying to look like some kind of official vehicle. I hope he is found and prosecuted to the fullest!
@@yvongauthier4409 Thanks, I did listen to the video but that info escaped my ears. Still the ragger was trying to look like some kind of official. You have a brain but I have bad ears.
This will help if all the states participate in this. What will also help is people to prevent road rage in the first place too, like no camping in left lanes, not intentionally cutting other people off. If we all would respect each other’s space, all will be kosher.
Yeah...that won't backfire at all. The problem with these people is they have no regard for the law in that moment, clearly. All you've done is increased the precident of risk vs reward. So now instead of a simple road rage incident(Not like in the video) just a honk, maybe a brake check. Well now that you are potentially risking the felony for that behaviour, the way their minds work, they're gonna go all in. If the punishment for brake checking you and flipping you off is the same as actually running you off the road, then they're always going to choose running you off the road.
Not defending the ram driver, but it makes you wonder what took place before the footage. Maybe the pip squeek in the car pulled out in front of him going 15 under and brake checked? Always two sides to a story. Been driving truck for 17 years and just about seen it all. In my conclusion it’s safe to say more than half driving out here shouldn’t have licenses
Just a "feel good" law, nothing is going to change... Very similar to any gun "laws", criminals don't pay attention to laws, hence them being criminals...
"Penalties for speeding need to be quadrupled, at least." Doesn't matter what the penalty for speeding is since such a small fraction of speeders get pulled over.
Nobody enforces speed limits unless you're into triple digits, even then it's iffy to see a racer get stopped. It's so bad many drivers claim you're "impeding traffic" if you're doing 0-5 over and they want to blast by doing 100+.
I’m a truck driver in Utah (local now) and I’m telling you what, Utah has the WORST drivers on the globe. No blinkers no use of hazards no common courtesy…. NOTHING. People tailgate…. They don’t stop 🛑 at signs…. Drivers speed past you to cut you off then break check you. IT’S INSANE!!!😤 oh and phones in hand and ear buds in….
Can be impounded? Fine them or suspend their license but impounding is a government 'taking'. Be careful what you wish for especially if the violation is soley at the discretion of a police officer.
99% of people who get road rage for people not driving fast enough in the passing lane are speeders who think the posted speed limit is a vague suggestion.
@@darkynhalvos The law is the law and impeding traffic is impeding traffic. Driving in the left lane and not allowing people to pass is illegal. Also not your problem to enforce the laws just follow them so YOU don't create a bigger problem and we have people weaving in and out. This is far more dangerous than someone going fast. In fact speed is not really a problem at all. Autobahn stats back this up as they have less accidents in areas that do not have speed zones than US highways.
@@jliller You are the problem if you fail to move out of the way and impede traffic. That is not my rule but the law. Yes, even if they are speeding YOU are still required to move out of the way and allow people to pass. It is not the Fast Lane it is the Passing Lane.
@@billalumni7760 If they are speeding you are impeding people who deserve, among other things, to be impeded. If they weren't speeding there would be no impediment.
I would personally prefer to see more enforcement of people using their indicators and or not cruising in the fast lane that could get rid of a lot of this
Left lane hogs cause most of the 'rage 'incidents I see. Follow someone in the left who isn't passing for miles, and a whole line of cars vie to move right and back again. Most states have laws to prevent camping in the left driving lane. Cracking down on left lane cruisers would stop a significant amount of 'rage'.
There is no such thing as a fast lane. There is only the speed limit, and a colloquial term that somehow made its way into law, despite its inaccuracy. But I do agree, more enforcement should be administered on the small things. Can't tell you how many times I've nearly been hit, because people run stop signs and say they were "stopping," when they were doing a California Maneuver.
@@takedown205productions6 “There is no such thing as a fast lane. “ We concur. Exactly the truth. I hope you realize how many bed wetters you will upset because you spoke the facts. After all, they have a “right” to speed. Excessive vehicle speed is one of the leading causes of accidents. But don't tell that to the passing lane bed wetters. As for traffic enforcement, it is nonexistent in Phoenix. Every day I travel down the same stretch of street with a posted limit of 40 mph. If you're not making 20 over, then you travel with life in hands. No turning/lane change signals. No stopping for red lights. Red light running, texting while driving. None of this seems to bother the “passing lane” bed wetters. Just get out of their way. After all, speeding is their god-given right......A god-given right to be the first at the next red light.
Not alot of head space in those cabs so not much oxygen to help the brain think clearly and the bigger the truck higher the altitude so less oxygen that and they are already made cause they are compensating for something but its just not helping them at all

Exactly. The impounding part of that law is the only part that's going to make a big difference.
Uh that wasn't "road rage" that was vehicular assault.
Forget Class A or Class B, it's felony, felony, felony all day.
Some people remove their front plates. Also installing a rammer should be illegal unless you are a cop or on safari in Africa.

Seems like people in big pickups, Mercedes, and BMWs are especially prone to raging out.
Don't forget female drivers are crazy.
Probably because they don't own them or are broke. The United States is one of the only place where the poor buy expensive things to look rich.
It seems like people like you are probably the ones who actually rage
Don't forget Tesla

What would discourage this behavior is barring people from driving when you push another car into an intersection
It's almost like when everyone has no choice but to drive, that includes the bad drivers. This is a bandaid on the humongous issue of car dependency.
Who cares about new laws when the judges just let you off anyway, change the laws that judges that don't keep criminals in prison go to prison themselves
No your wrong their, americans don't get any kind of breaks, only illegals
Doesn't the US have the highest incarceration rate in the world?
Make getting a driver's license more stringent, like Germany. My daughter never left the parking lot on her road test in florida,
Seriously? That should be illegal. Unless the parking is huge and was designed to test all the driving abilities.
Takes about 2 years & a few thousand Euros to get a license, & you have to show that you are capable.

It could be enforced by the cops that use a laptop, cell phones, radios and devices while driving themselves.
💯
Can we also get some reform for driving classes. Things like left lane is for passing, right on red, how to drive on three lane roads, etc. NEED to be taught
Along with not going 10+ under the posted speed limit or 10+ over. Most people today treat speed limit signs like an incurable fatal disease that instakills you if you drive within 10 mph of it.
I dislike road rage just as much as the next guy. The problem with the new law is that it gives the government too much freedom to punish people.
If a cop is having a bad day, and a person driving safely that hates cops, gives the cop the bird. We'll now I can see the cop abusing this new law and claim the safe driver is now a road rage driver.
We shouldn't be giving open ended power like this to the government. They will abuse it.
I totally agree here. I simply waved at a sheriff this week and he just gave me a smug look. Smhuh….i am not a fan of cops in general though either. They completely abuse their power.
Flipping someone the bird is considered road rage?
@@jliller Apparently so.
It's about time a state cracks down on this mess. Especially with those who drive 80+ on the highways expecting the speed limit to be optional. Do you not value other lives on the road? You not only put yourself in danger but also the drivers around you.
This Ram driver , his ego is bigger then what he thinks he truck is. Need to make front and rear license plates mandatory by law then when some one like this thinks his Willy is bigger then his hemi the get put behind bars where they belong. If they payment is too much take their land or home. Then they can explain to their family why.
In my region, it's the pickup truck drivers that are the most aggressive and bullies. They drive their trucks like urban assault vehicles.
Utah has the WORST drivers I’ve ever seen. I don’t know what’s in the water there.
Laws do nothing if DA's and Judges just continue to hand out "don't do this again or else we will tell you to not do it again 5 more times".
How is this a new law?
Road rage is already a crime...
all trafic and theft laws should have a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY. There is no reason for this to be allowed. All of our laws just punish and not prevent.
Move to china then you communist

That's kind-of how the democratic process wants it to go down. All we'd need is a republic if people would choose to do what's right instead of letting ego, wealth or public perception guide their way. And, the process wouldn't exist to take all our money for no "good" reason.
They don't punish either. Just recently a woman in my town received her 13th DUI conviction. They just give them a fine and a slap on the wrist and they immediately go out and do it again. Any kind of dangerous or aggressive driving should result in a 6-month license suspension for the first offense, 5 years for the second offense and lifetime for a 3rd. Along with that they need to be banned from owning or registering a vehicle.
@@nodak81 that does not stop anything. Had a hit and run. Tldr is he got almost 20 moving violations in 6 years including 5 hit and runs and 1 fleeing from an officer. Most of them were negligent driving and speeding and red light running. Got a slap on the wrist too. Judge said if she has any more moving violations in the next 5 years she has to go to jail for 1 year plus $10k fines.
What do you think she is going to do?
We need a zero tolerance. If you offend them you are jailed for 1 year. Just as a starting point. No questions.
Here's an idea. If you're are fined with road rage incident, allow auto insurance double the premium. That'll stop road rage almost instantly. Money talks...
Is it me or was this truck decked out to appear to be a police car.
Man, if they just taught people how to drive then there wouldn't be any road rage at all.

There is a vast difference between vehicular crimes like ramming vs. swearing and giving someone the bird. Yes, both are a type of rage, but the ladder is more what people expect.

useless law. Those behaviors were already not permitted under the law. This is political and a big waste of money
You can make all the laws you want. If they don’t enforce them they mean nothing! Just like speeding through construction zones!
Now should look at who's against this law. All the money in the world and education won't change drivers attitudes.

@@arthurdavis1065 exactly but gives idiot people too much power. So no evidence not witnesses by law enforcement they could lie and try and have you charged
Maybe something like, if they were brake checking or cutting someone off and get into an accident, more serious consequences like license revoked. That's what I'm assuming. Could be witnessed by dashcam.
There are cameras everywhere.
Pickup truck drivers and teslas are the most road rage drivers
should make this nation wide
Road rage penalties should be:
1st time: no license for 1 year, impound car for one year, $2000 fine, 25% of all points applied (so if the limit is 12 points, give them 3), GPS monitoring, report to auto insurer.
2nd time: jail for 1 year, impound car for one year, $5000 fine, 75% of all points applied, report to auto insurer.
3rd time: permanent revocation of driving privileges nationwide, 5 years in prison, $10,000 fine, report to auto insurer.
Double the fines if minors in are the other vehicle. If you are here illegally and doing that, immediate deportation and lifelong ban from entering America.
First offense of driving aggressively where you’re tailgating someone or brake checking them anything like that should be a mandatory one year suspension of your license. If you don’t learn your lesson after that, it should be mandatory jail time and if you don’t like that, then learn to control your emotions and keep your stuff together and be polite on the road.

This will help if all the states participate in this. What will also help is people to prevent road rage in the first place too, like no camping in left lanes, not intentionally cutting other people off. If we all would respect each other’s space, all will be kosher.

Yeah...that won't backfire at all. The problem with these people is they have no regard for the law in that moment, clearly. All you've done is increased the precident of risk vs reward. So now instead of a simple road rage incident(Not like in the video) just a honk, maybe a brake check. Well now that you are potentially risking the felony for that behaviour, the way their minds work, they're gonna go all in. If the punishment for brake checking you and flipping you off is the same as actually running you off the road, then they're always going to choose running you off the road.
Ppl arent thinking about consiquences when raging
Those who decide on a new law wait until the damage is done out of control.
I'd prefer forfeiture of the vehicle, two years suspended license, anger management, and a hefty fine (for starters).
no one asked. sit down.
Is giving someone the finger for running a stop sign and almost ramming me, is that considered road rage? 🤔
Any signal given on the roadway gives the other driver the right-of-way, because the right-of-way can only be given. So I'd say no.
Not defending the ram driver, but it makes you wonder what took place before the footage. Maybe the pip squeek in the car pulled out in front of him going 15 under and brake checked? Always two sides to a story. Been driving truck for 17 years and just about seen it all. In my conclusion it’s safe to say more than half driving out here shouldn’t have licenses
Just a "feel good" law, nothing is going to change...
Very similar to any gun "laws", criminals don't pay attention to laws, hence them being criminals...
Now if only people start doing things like keeping slow traffic in the right lanes, using turn signals, keeping off their phones....
Lets put another law on the books while there is already laws on the book to charge them. What a stupid thing.
It's still not enough. Even one offense of road rage should result in loss of license. Penalties for speeding need to be quadrupled, at least.
"Penalties for speeding need to be quadrupled, at least."
Doesn't matter what the penalty for speeding is since such a small fraction of speeders get pulled over.
Nobody enforces speed limits unless you're into triple digits, even then it's iffy to see a racer get stopped.
It's so bad many drivers claim you're "impeding traffic" if you're doing 0-5 over and they want to blast by doing 100+.
I’m a truck driver in Utah (local now) and I’m telling you what, Utah has the WORST drivers on the globe. No blinkers no use of hazards no common courtesy…. NOTHING. People tailgate…. They don’t stop 🛑 at signs…. Drivers speed past you to cut you off then break check you. IT’S INSANE!!!😤 oh and phones in hand and ear buds in….
Maybe auto manufacturers can start adding 360 degree cameras on all vehicles like they do on Tesla models.
Can be impounded? Fine them or suspend their license but impounding is a government 'taking'. Be careful what you wish for especially if the violation is soley at the discretion of a police officer.

How about fix the number one problem that causes road rage. Illegally traveling in the left PASSING lane.
99% of people who get road rage for people not driving fast enough in the passing lane are speeders who think the posted speed limit is a vague suggestion.
Actually it's the impatient assholes wanting to do 20+ over any posted limit that are the problem.
@@darkynhalvos The law is the law and impeding traffic is impeding traffic. Driving in the left lane and not allowing people to pass is illegal. Also not your problem to enforce the laws just follow them so YOU don't create a bigger problem and we have people weaving in and out. This is far more dangerous than someone going fast. In fact speed is not really a problem at all. Autobahn stats back this up as they have less accidents in areas that do not have speed zones than US highways.
@@jliller You are the problem if you fail to move out of the way and impede traffic. That is not my rule but the law. Yes, even if they are speeding YOU are still required to move out of the way and allow people to pass. It is not the Fast Lane it is the Passing Lane.
@@billalumni7760 If they are speeding you are impeding people who deserve, among other things, to be impeded. If they weren't speeding there would be no impediment.
I would personally prefer to see more enforcement of people using their indicators and or not cruising in the fast lane that could get rid of a lot of this
Left lane hogs cause most of the 'rage 'incidents I see. Follow someone in the left who isn't passing for miles, and a whole line of cars vie to move right and back again. Most states have laws to prevent camping in the left driving lane.
Cracking down on left lane cruisers would stop a significant amount of 'rage'.
@@hugh007 Oh here we go with that again....
There is no such thing as a fast lane. There is only the speed limit, and a colloquial term that somehow made its way into law, despite its inaccuracy.
But I do agree, more enforcement should be administered on the small things. Can't tell you how many times I've nearly been hit, because people run stop signs and say they were "stopping," when they were doing a California Maneuver.
@@takedown205productions6 “There is no such thing as a fast lane. “ We concur. Exactly the truth. I hope you realize how many bed wetters you will upset because you spoke the facts. After all, they have a “right” to speed. Excessive vehicle speed is one of the leading causes of accidents. But don't tell that to the passing lane bed wetters. As for traffic enforcement, it is nonexistent in Phoenix. Every day I travel down the same stretch of street with a posted limit of 40 mph. If you're not making 20 over, then you travel with life in hands. No turning/lane change signals. No stopping for red lights. Red light running, texting while driving. None of this seems to bother the “passing lane” bed wetters. Just get out of their way. After all, speeding is their god-given right......A god-given right to be the first at the next red light.
