‘Road Wars’ spotlights road rage incident in season 5 premiere
A brand new season of the hit A&E reality series Road Wars premieres on the network Tuesday, July 15 at 9/8c.
Those looking to check out the latest season of the long-running series can stream Road Wars season five through Philo (free trial), DirecTV (free trial) or Sling (50% off first month).
What is Road Wars about?
For those unfamiliar with Road Wars, the show further proves that roadways can be a wild, dangerous and unpredictable place; with violent road rage incidents increasing drastically over the last decade, “road raging” is a human behavior that has become widely known and is one of the many threats to everyone on the road.
Road Wars takes a deep dive into American roadways, examining extreme human behavior, wild water and insane accidents causing trouble for drivers all over the country.
Season five kicks off in Missouri where a rideshare driver is repeatedly rammed by a trailing sedan for no apparent reason. Meanwhile, a cyclist is thrown from his bike when an approaching car rear-ends him, and a mechanic in Georgia has to answer to police after an incident on the road.
