Re: Road Rage Incident
In Fort Worth, the non-emergency number and 911 go to the same operators. They get an indicator on the screen that tells them which line the call came in on, but they are essentially treated the same. Both are recorded.

Re: Road Rage Incident
The story does seem sanitized a little. . . but I can believe on a daily commute that somebody is lost in their own thoughts, going through the motions, and not paying conscious attention to anything beyond their nose. If so, that's another thing to be aware of - trying to identify when we slip into inattention and forcing ourselves to stay alert - even when we're in our vehicles and not immediately in the company of others.Rex B wrote:No offense, but I find it hard to believe you could shut the door on someone and not know it.
I've done that when I saw someone passing on the shoulder, and acted like I was oblivious, but i knew what I was doing, and I knew it could provoke someone.
If you know you are dealing with an aggressive driver who is now fixated on YOU, the very last thing you want to happen is let them get in front of you.
I'd probably be videoing the guy on my cellphone with my free hand.
