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."Borek said:
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.
