Road rage has become far too much of a common occurrence in the United States, but it’s incidents like the murder of a young father by a 75-year-old man that should shock everyone. It happened in Newton, North Carolina on October 12, leaving three children without their dad and all because another man who definitely is old enough to know better wouldn’t control his actions.
Watch a Tesla driver and a diesel truck driver get into a road rage fight.
From what the Catawba County Sheriff’s Office said in an official release, 40-year-old Jeffrey Michael Guida was driving along when he got into some sort of altercation with 75-year-old Terrell Eugene Giddens.
The road rage incident escalated to the point both drivers exited their vehicles at an intersection. That’s when Giddens pulled out a gun, shooting Guida multiple times, killing him. Then Giddens fired into Guida’s vehicle several more times, thankfully missing the 13-, 11-, and 2-year old children inside.
Even though the kids survived the ordeal, they saw another man gun down their father. We wonder if Giddens even cares about the trauma he’s saddled them with and all over something which was relatively unimportant.
It’s tragic road rage cases like this that serve as a reminder that no matter how upset you are, getting out of your car or confront someone who’d acting aggressively towards you is a bad idea. While bad things happen when people are still in their vehicles, we can pretty much guarantee violence once you get out of your ride.
We understand people stop thinking straight in road rage fights, which is the whole reason why they happen in the first place. If people would take a couple of deep breaths and think, they would realize even if the other driver did something that was truly dangerous, putting themselves at risk of even more danger is foolish.
Something needs to change.
