Their attempt to save a couple of seconds will cost them weeks of insurance work, not to mention thousands of dollars in damage.

Presumed Troy resident and Redditor /u/ComfyRain posted headshaking dashcam footage from earlier last week (Dec 17, 2024) to the /r/IdiotsInCars subreddit showing an impatient driver not properly yielding their right of way exiting this Burger King parking lot, causing them to crash into another vehicle after swinging a little too wide.

Check out /u/ComfyRain’s video below with the original Reddit thread linked here.

The incident happened in Troy near the driveway of this Burger King in the 2900 Block of Rochester Rd (Exact location on Google Maps linked here.)

As /u/ComfyRain’s dashcam video shows, OP is stopped waiting for someone else in front of them to exit out onto Rochester.

Suddenly, a driver in a Subaru Outback cuts both cars off, jumps to the front of the line, and darts into traffic.

Their impatience ends up costing the driver in the Outback as they take the turn out of the driveway too fast and wide, causing them to hit a driver in a Ford SUV making their way down the center turn lane.

The resulting collision sounds like thousands of dollars in damage, something both parties and their insurance have the pleasure of getting into in the middle of the holiday season.

“Probably more like: “Impatient driver ruins somebody else’s day,” /u/gijoe500000 commented.

“Too impatient to wait his turn in the turn lane. Too impatient to wait for traffic to pass. Too impatient to merge properly so he just dives across three lanes and crashes,” /u/LegendaryOutlaw added.

“What a dumba**. OP, I hope you stuck around and gave the footage to the cops.”

“Inpatience to out-patient,” /u/daffodil-baby wittily put it.

Even if they did make that turn, they would’ve saved two, or three minutes tops.

Is the extra time saved worth the risk and resulting collision?

The answer is invariably no.
