With road rage being such a hot topic of conversation and concern lately, a lot of people are bewildered and upset that the so-called “Tesla Road Rage Driver” in Los Angeles has been released from prison early. After all, he served only a fraction of his original sentence.

Originally, Nathaniel Walter Radimak was sentenced to five years in prison. That was about ten months ago, and he’s just been released on parole. That’s why the public in general and his victims specifically are outraged.
Some of his victims spoke with KTLA 5 to voice their outrage and concerns about Radimak being let out of prison early on parole. Among the things they aired out is the fear Radimak will go for revenge, hunting down the victims who helped put him in prison.
At least one said her faith in the justice system has been fundamentally shaken. That’s understandable.
For a while, people in the Los Angeles area were terrified at the thought of being attacked by a man simply known as “Tesla Road Rage Driver.” Images and videos of him forcing his victims to stop in the middle of the road using his Tesla, then attacking their car with a metal pipe or crowbar was understandably frightening. After all, he could have seriously injured or killed someone.
When caught, police say they found steroids in his car. Some have speculated the guy suffered roid rage, leading to the violent road rage incidents.
Radimak did receive credit for 424 days he served in jail before being sentenced. Still, that means he’s served less than half of his original sentencing, which to many is just outrageous.
On top of that, KTLA 5 reports the man has a long criminal history in several states. The fear is he will reoffend quickly and his future victim(s) might not be so lucky.
