A&E’s Road Wars returns with a double dose of automotive anarchy on Tuesday, December 17, offering viewers a front-row seat to the carnage caused by reckless drivers. This week’s installment features two new episodes, “Full Impact” and “Easily Influenced,” promising a chaotic blend of tractor-trailer calamities and the dire consequences of driving under the influence.

First up, at 9:00 PM, “Full Impact” unleashes a barrage of out-of-control 18-wheelers and motorcycle mayhem, raising serious questions about how some drivers even obtained a license. This episode aims to expose the often-overlooked dangers posed by oversized vehicles in the hands of seemingly unqualified operators.

Road Wars offers a raw look at the extreme behaviors plaguing American roadways, capturing incidents fueled by road rage, reckless driving, and substance abuse. Given the show’s claim of a 500% increase in violent road rage incidents over the past decade, this series couldn’t be more timely.

Road Wars airs Tuesdays at 9:00 PM on A&E.
