BELMONT, N.C.--Michael Wilson takes road rage to a whole new level. Armed with a camera, he captures video of drivers who he says are tailgating. "People act ((BLANKING)) stupid.
I videotape them and I let them ((BLANKING)) act as stupid as they want and I post it," he said.

Wilson said he is still recovering from serious injuries after a crash three years ago that destroyed his father's truck. He's trying to prevent it from happening again. "I don't wanna feel like I'm being put in a dangerous situation," Wilson said.

Belmont Police say they've referred the case to the Gaston County District Attorney. Neighbors say they're concerned. "I don't understand how you just get away for something like that," said Belmont resident Matt Morgan.

Wilson has uploaded more than 60 videos, "I'm getting sick and tired of people coming up on my ((BLANK))," he said. Wilson says he has hundreds more and isn't going to stop anytime soon.

Some neighbors say Wilson also shoots at a target in his front yard, dangerously close to nearby traffic.
