The conversation also criticized the perception that larger individuals, like professional athletes, can evade accountability for reckless driving.

That video reminds me when someone tried to road rage me and my passengers. At the time we were a car full of black belts on our way to black and brown belt training.
 
Let's face it - Holyfield should get fined for this kind of driving.

That's true. I find the video unsatisfactory for the unspoken messages it contains, like, "If you're big enough, you can get away with reckless driving."

And a video could just as easily have been made where the drivers are reversed, Holyfield is the one who gets cut off and stops the other one, a video called, "Be careful who you cut off in traffic."

There's got to be a better way to tackle an anti-road rage video.

I once had a guy in a four wheel drive road rage me by ramming into the back of my car. My car was fine but my toe ball punctured his radiator.
