Left turner from 11th Ave. onto Coronado fails to yield to dashcam owner from median. Almost causes their own t-bone accident.
Cape Coral driver and Redditor /u/GullibleTowel1242 shared headshaking dashcam footage from his wife’s vehicle from earlier in November (Nov 22, 2025) to the /r/IdiotsInCars subreddit showing a driver making a left turn across Coronado Pkwy failing to yield to through traffic, OP included, nearly causing their own t-bone accident.
Check out the dashcam footage embedded below with the original Reddit thread linked here.
The incident happened at the T-intersection of SE 11th Pl and Coronado Parkway (exact location on Google Maps linked here.)
As the dashcam shows, OP is headed down Coronado towards Del Prado.
As he approaches the T-intersection with SE 11th Pl, there’s a driver in a GMC Envoy stopped, halfway in the middle of a left turn.
Technically, drivers cannot stop halfway into a turn between two island medians like this and must instead safely make one complete turn from the turn lane.
Regardless, instead of yielding to OP as he fast approached, the GMC driver darts out left onto Coronado, setting OP up for a collision course for their driver’s side door.
OP counter-manuevers and swerves onto the driveway of a nearby house, just barely missing a pair of walkers coming towards them just one house away.
Thankfully, nothing comes of the GMC Envoy driver’s hare-brained move, and everyone gets to go home unscathed.
What a moron. I see this all the time. Cars turning into the far lane regardless of who may already be driving in them. I just assume every single driver will make this maneuver, and if I am behind them, I slow down to avoid an accident instead of trying to maintain my speed but go into the other lane,” the top comment from /u/crushade reads.
“And the other person probably drove off completely oblivious to the fact that their mistake/lazy driving almost caused a crash,” /u/KaJuNator added.
In Florida, stopping halfway in a turn or in a median and impeding traffic can be cited under F.S. 316.2045, and failing to yield while turning left is a moving violation under F.S. 316.122–316.123. Such a failure-to-yield violation typically carries 3 points on your license and fines around $166–$264, though costs can be higher if it almost caused a collision (FLHSMV).
Why do so many people drive in the left lane of two lane streets when they aren’t going to make a left turn?????
