A&E’s Road Wars is back with a double dose of automotive anarchy, offering viewers a front-row seat to the kind of vehicular mayhem that makes you question the sanity of your fellow drivers. This Tuesday features two back-to-back episodes that’ll make even the most zen commuter’s blood boil.
First up, in “Fighting the Tow,” a Queens resident attempts the ill-advised feat of driving their car off a tow truck’s boom—a move as strategically sound as challenging a tank to a thumb war. Meanwhile, on Long Island, a fender bender escalates into a full-blown family feud, proving that blood may be thicker than water, but it’s no match for the fury of a dented bumper. Across the country in California, a postal worker finds themselves in a far less leisurely delivery situation, pinned between two vehicles. Is it Tuesday or the vehicular apocalypse?
Shifting gears—or maybe slamming them into reverse—the second episode, “Don’t Point the Finger,” takes us to Dekalb, where a driver transforms into a human claw machine, unleashing a hair-pulling attack on another motorist. If that weren’t enough to fray your nerves, head west to Illinois, where the serene landscape is shattered by the high-octane pursuit of an ATV rider by a pickup truck-wielding vigilante.
Filmed across the vast and varied asphalt jungles of America, these incidents captured on Road Wars aren’t just rubbernecking entertainment; they are a grim snapshot of the extreme behaviors sometimes witnessed on the open road. Whether it’s the sheer lunacy of defying physics on a tow truck or the primal urge to yank someone’s hair out mid-traffic jam, these episodes explore the boundaries of human behavior under pressure.
Road Wars airs Tuesday, November 26, at 9:00 PM on A&E, with both “Fighting the Tow” and “Don’t Point the Finger” running consecutively.
