This video is from my husband and I. The charges have been updated to be more severe and the police are investigating more deeply into the situation that happened. The man who hit us has had prior road rage incidents and his insurance company might not cover him if the insurance deems it was intentionally done. We are hoping to get this man off the streets for everything he has done to us and those that happened before us so it doesn’t happen in the future. For those wanting more context: In the video prior to the accident, we were driving in traffic on the way to the freeway and the man was behind us a few cars back but swerving between the lanes to get further ahead. Once we got to the first light that you see at the beginning of this video, he had moved behind us. Once that light turned green and we were heading to the second light before the freeway on-ramp, that is when he hit us and started pushing. There were cars in front of us so there is no reason why he started doing that.

This stretch of road is incredibly notorious for road rage! Like you said, there were cars in front of you guys when this happened, and the buffoon still decides to rage at the car in front of them even though there was nowhere for you to go. It takes so much restraint to not get triggered by road ragers like that guy. Kudos for keeping your cool during the whole thing.

The guy should lose his privilege to drive forever. He should also be charged for the collision, and failing to remain at the scene of an accident. Severe fines, reparations to be paid and a lengthy jail sentence. I'm glad you are both safe but contact a person injury lawyer just in case.

This guy has friends on the force. First of all this is a clear cut case of reckless driving and it is also not a "Traffic accident" because there was nothing accidental about it. There was willful destruction of property and "Leaving the scene of an "Accident" is the absolute minimum charge that the police absolutely had to charge him with. This guy feels like he is above the law for a reason, because apparently, so far, he is.

If they don’t investigate properly, it can be thrown out in court

The biggest problem is there is a lacking of enforcement of traffic laws. Chances are there are no cops to catch you if you tailgate, run a red light, etc. Even if there is, many police have higher priorities such as going after speeders than deal with people tailgating or running red lights. The new road rage law will do nothing as people already are getting away with road rage and will continue to do so. In this case, they are investigating him and he may never get charged with anything even though it appears he purposely hit this vehicle. He already got off with only being charged with leaving the scene of an accident when he could face charges for tailgating and possibly reckless driving.

He didn’t manage to cut us off, he entered the circle and almost hit people already in the circle. He went straight.

Everyone needs to chill about the guy only getting a ticket for leaving the scene of the crime. The police can only go on what they know at the time. Watching a video of someone hitting the back of a car only tells you that a collision has occurred. You cannot tell if the guy in the Tesla brake checked him causing the contact. People do that sometimes, and without more information you really can’t tell. The Tesla guy could be lying about what he did in response to a person tailgating him. The evidence presented to the cops only shows that an accident happened and one of the vehicles involved left the scene. It is up to the DA to investigate further and bring additional charges if they feel they are warranted.

Obeying every law and speed limit on Freeways and city streets. When I’m using FSD to make a right turn for example, it slowly approaches the intersection, stops behind the limit line, than creeps up to the corner, looks for traffic than slowly makes the turn. This drives people crazy behind me. So in other words the car drives like a grandma. Till the software is perfect, it will be like this for a while. I apologize for my cars driving.
