Listen & Study Services' Commentary:

Road rage is such a serious matter, I thought I'd take the time to write a commentary describing ways to get out of one should you get caught up in one.

This family, a mom, her daughters, and their family friend went to purchase fast-food after they left Walmart. All of a sudden a stranger kept following them in his car - driving to close for comfort and almost rear-ending them.

They arrived at Taco Bell but did not order and left immediately out of fear that the stranger would cause them bodily harm. At that point, they were still uncertain why the man was stalking them with his car.

Just as shocking was the moment that stranger blocks this family's car from behind and goes to the front of their car and jumps on it and starts pounding the windshield with his fist - to the point it shatters.

That incident is enough to make most of us think twice about whether we want to keep driving or not even when we haven't any other choice in the matter since we must get to work, school, shopping, etc.

I had to stop and think about what I would do if this same scary situation happened to me.

I think I would have and will start recording that person's movements (driving too close to my car, etc.) on my cell phone. I would simultaneously dial 911 and give his license plate number to dispatch.

NOW! Let's see what the experts suggest doing at times like this when someone is trailing you in their car, and you don't know if they want to harm you or not:
