CHARLOTTE -- Police say road rage is on the rise.

There were three separate road rage incidents this week, all of which involved shootings.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say incidents like these have scary consequences, but if you become a victim, the best thing to do is to not respond.

"A bullet has no one's name on it, and I think that's important to remember," said AAA Carolinas' Tiffany Wright. "We're carrying precious cargo in our vehicles, whether we're talking about our parents, our children, our pets."

Police also urge drivers not to engage with other drivers with road rage, try to get a description of the car or person, and call 911.
