For those who find a certain fascination in the chaos of traffic, A&E’s Road Wars is back for a fourth season, ready to deliver more fender benders, near misses, and full-blown road rage incidents. The new season premieres Tuesday, November 12, with an episode aptly titled “A Fork in the Road.”
This first episode covers considerable ground, geographically and in terms of automotive calamities. There will be some close calls in Denver, a runaway semi-truck causing general mayhem in Utah, a motorcyclist in Michigan engaged in some heated discourse (presumably not of the polite, turn-signal variety), and even a trip across the pond for some post-fender bender arguing in Scotland.
Road Wars’ continued appeal rests on its ability to tap into the universal experience of driving – the anxieties, the frustrations, and the occasional moments of unexpected kindness (though those are likely outnumbered by the near-collisions). Whether you’re a seasoned Road Wars fan or simply curious about the automotive anarchy, this new season looks set to deliver a potent cocktail of schadenfreude and rubbernecking.
Road Wars “A Fork in the Road” airs Tuesday, November 12 at 9/8c on A&E.
