Can you report road rage

After it happens?

I need to know for future reference. People are unbelievable and some behavior is actually UNACCEPTABLE and they need to know this.

yes, make sure you get the plate number. You can even call from your cell phone while on the road.

Everything is a case by case basis but if you're on the road and a victim of road rage, you definitely can call 911.

After it happens? I doubt it. That would be a "he said" she said" situation then. Nothing could be proved.

Everything is case by case, you can report everything. Of course, the best thing to do is call while it's happening and have the plate number of the car this way the police have a chance of either seeing he behavior or at the least pulling the person over. Afterwards, you can still report it but there isn't much they can do,

Unbelievable. If you're ever think you're being followed drive to the nearest precinct if possible. I can't believe she wouldn't assist you or at least tell you what you should do.Chat Icon

I was almost killed by a guy driving a verizon truck on my way to work one day. I was 7 months pregnant and so scared out of my mind. I memorized the license plate and pulled over and called 911. I told them the situation..the license plate number and what had happened. I gave my number and a few hours later, a police officer himself called me back.

Apparently, they caught him driving a couple of miles up. He was speeding like crazy. He got a ticket. Nothing big especially considering he almost killed me but at least he got stopped.

VERY GOOD. What goes around come around and it is nice to hear that there is karma!
Glad you were not hurt or anyone else!!
