    From the local facebook group.

    This is why we all need dashcams.

    Wow, that is just crazy. Wonder what happened after they stopped.

    That's amazing. They probably pulled out their guns and killed each other.

    They stepped out of their vehicles with their derringers, backs against each other and took ten paces forward... Turned and...

    Wait. Even that's too civilized for what I just saw in the video.

    LOL I couldn't stop laughing, thanks TeslaCam. That driver is better than police at boxing a car in.

    Too bad the cars didn't actually touch. A 4-figure bill from the bodyshop is probably one of the best ways to cure whatever disease (mad cow?) these drivers have without harming anyone else.

    This was the dumbest thing I’ve seen in a while. I must say the rogue (literally) driver got some skills!

    I think they both have some good skills. How they didn't hit each other is amazing. It was like watching a movie. Would have loved to see the ending.

    I drive there every two to three weeks. I think you mean MD, VA and DC drivers. ;)

    Yea, that is nuts. A good example of why I like a Tesla. It would leave that little piece of crap in the dust and him wondering where did I go.

    I thought at one point they did touch when they were on the left side of the highway but maybe I'm wrong. I'm speechless. I didn't know what I was about to watch but sure didn't think it was this. And putting everyone around them at risk too. Who knows if it was road rage about being cut off or maybe one guy out to get the other driver and had been following them like this for some time. Could be angry spouse, partner, jealous girlfriend/boyfriend. It just kept going on and on and I think who ever recorded it even cut out part of it.

    Watched it again and it does look like it started at about 0:36 in when the white vehicle pulled into Lane 1 from Lane 2 and the black vehicle had to swerve to the left as the white car was cutting it close.

    *Edited the 2nd paragraph as I watched the video closer.

    I thought for sure they hit as well, but hard to tell. Shocked if they didn't at sometime hit each other.

    I think at 2:03 the black vehicle made contact with the white one and it got shoved over to the side.

    If you click on YouTube at the bottom you can see the Tesla owner's comments about what transpired.

    Same here! WTF! This area has some crazy drivers. I probably would have called the cops on them.

    I don't know. I wouldn't jump to any concussions about this incident. Maybe that black car driver was just desperate to pull along side and ask for a jar of "grey poupon" !!! Oh wait, my mistake. They weren't Rolls Royces.

    Yeah. I'm pretty sure the Explorer (accidentally) nearly ran the black SUV off the road when he made his sudden lane change near the beginning. Doesn't in any way justify the insane and endless response, though.

    Seems to me that this only shows that those who participate in road rage need a dash cam. The rest of us can just go on our merry way.

    Both need to go to jail and have their licenses revoked.

    Just so I’m clear on how the dash cam works, at what point do you press the save button? When you press it does it save the last ten minutes prior to the press or start saving at the press?
