'Extreme Road Rage' on I-880 Caught on Video
What would you do if this happened to you?
Someone alert Stanley Roberts. A driver caught a fellow northbound I-880 traveler in Fremont behaving very badly — and dangerously — via a dashboard cam.
In the video, titled “Extreme Road Rage 880N” and featured above, a golden 1990s Toyota Camry chases the car and attempts to “brake check” the victim multiple times by cutting him off and intentionally slamming on the brakes. The acts could have caused a rear-ending.

A separate video shows how it might have started. In that video, the Camry tries to switch lanes without signaling, almost hitting the other car.
While we don’t know exactly if that’s what incited the Camry driver’s road rage, what's for sure is that the Camry driver’s actions were not safe for anyone on the road.
Fortunately, no one was hurt.
