This dashcam owner was unfortunately right in this Hyundai owner’s blind spot.

I-70 commuter and Redditor /u/Joe56784 shared frustrating dashcam footage from New Stanton from earlier in the week (March 26, 2025) to the /r/IdiotsinCars subreddit showing a driver in a Hyundai Kona make a no look lane change that almost ended in a collision thanks to OP being in the Kona driver’s blind spot.

Oh, and the signals being in the worst possible place didn’t help much, either.

Check out the dashcam footage embedded below with the original Reddit thread linked here.

The incident happened on a stretch of I-70 in New Stanton, PA, before exit 57 onto New Stanton Hunker (Exact location on Google Maps linked here.)

As OP’s dashcam footage shows, they’re traveling on I-70 in the fast lane.

As they and the driver in front of them begin to pass slower-moving traffic, a driver in a green Hyundai Kona crossover begins to match the pace with the fast lane, like they’re going to change lanes.

Only the sharpest of eyes will notice the Kona signaling moments before changing lanes.

It doesn’t help that, on this Hyundai, the signals are down low near the bumper.

The Kona driver doesn’t look over their shoulder into their blind spot and starts to change lanes only moments after signaling.

Thankfully, OP was driving defensively and is able to dodge the Kona driver.

With only the smallest amount of space between the traffic divider and the lane marker, OP barely avoided getting into a collision.

A swerve and a quick honk divert disaster.

“They didn’t even have the common decency to get back in their lane after you honked,” the top comment from Cyonx818 reads.

“Standard practice…turn on signal only the moment you are already heading into the lane. It’s not called a signal because it needs to warn people what they are trying to do….,” /u/Karmachinery sarcastically commented.

“lol, you can tell they have already done that before by the tape on their back wheel arch,” /u/DirtyBeard443 points out.

It’s all too common to get lackadaisical with our driving habits.

We shouldn’t, and when it comes to lane changes, a quick glance over your shoulder to check your blind spot is a must.
