Investigators said it’s not common to see cases escalate to this level, but add road rage is a very real thing in Calgary.
“For the road rage to be taken to that level is actually pretty rare, which is why we are all talking about it,” Staff Sgt. Paul Stacey said. “We do see a lot of road rage in Calgary because there is so much traffic.”

Stacey recommends drivers not engage with those acting out and says if you are being followed, go where there are lots of people, like a mall parking lot or even a police station.
He warned against policing bad drivers.
“If someone wants to pass you, if they are tailgating, move over and let them go. It’s not your responsibility to teach them how to drive and it’s not your responsibility to police them, either.
“We’ve always encouraged people to worry about their own driving, let them go.”
Stacey also said with the recent spike in stolen cars, Calgarians may never know who is behind the wheel or if they are armed.
He said stay in your car and call 911 if things start to get out of control.
