A&E’s Extreme Road Ragers continues its exploration of vehicular fury, this time profiling two men grappling with anger management issues behind the wheel. In this week’s episode, “Angel & Donnie,” we meet Angel, a New York City delivery driver whose short fuse is putting his livelihood and family at risk. His girlfriend, Daniela, has laid down the law: get a grip on his temper or she’s taking the kids and leaving. The pressure is on, and the streets of NYC aren’t exactly known for their calming influence.
Meanwhile, down in Houston, Donnie’s lead foot craves the thrill of high-speed driving, a dangerous game of chicken played out on the city’s highways. But a recent incident, where another driver fired shots at his car, has given Donnie pause. Is this adrenaline rush worth his life? The episode follows Donnie as he confronts the potential consequences of his reckless behavior.
Extreme Road Ragers doesn’t shy away from the raw reality of these situations. While the show provides a glimpse into the lives of individuals struggling with road rage, it also presents the impact on their families and friends, who offer candid perspectives on the toll this behavior takes. The show attempts to take an approach to examining the psychological factors that contribute to these outbursts, asking whether change is even possible for these drivers.
Extreme Road Ragers airs Tuesdays at 10:00 PM on A&E.
