Anger behind the wheel never led to good things and this recent example involves a man that survived a crash after an argue led him to pull the handbrake on the highway.
Arran Tait was driving on the A1 highway in the UK with his girlfriend Alice Laverick in his Toyota Corolla hatchback, when a random argue escalated sufficient enough to make the man pull the vehicle’s e-brake, probably to make the girl shut up.

He lost control and the car spun through 360 degrees, rolled over twice and landed in a ditch alongside the highway. Luckily, the couple escaped unharmed and with a big lesson learned.

Tait, that recognized it was a stupid spontaneous act, was charged for reckless driving and he was given 12 months of jail time, suspended for 18.
