Insane driver decided it’s cool to not yield, and then had the nerve to throw in a brake check, too.
Dallas driver and Redditor /u/l-garoso shared headshaking dashcam footage from earlier this December (Dec 17, 2025) to the /r/IdiotsInCars subreddit showing the unhinged moment a driver making a right fails to yield to cross traffic, and, on top of that, then has the nerve to throw in a brake check for good measure.
Check out the dashcam footage embedded below with the original Reddit thread linked here.
The incident happened at the intersection of Belt Line and Hillcrest (Exact location on Google Maps linked here.)
As the dashcam shows, OP is driving along on a rain-soaked Belt Line Rd on a Wednesday night.
As she approaches the intersection with Hillcrest, a driver in a Toyota Camry approaches from the right and, instead of pausing to yield before turning, they brute force their way through, opting not to yield at all.
And, when OP gave the Camry driver a fist full of horn, the Camry driver, of course, retaliated by coming to a complete stop (brake checking them.)
Thankfully, neither of them made contact.
“It’s always a great idea to pull out in front of somebody, then mash the brakes. 🤦♂️,” the top comment from /u/SashaDabinsky sarcastically reads.
“The OP needs a train air horn… They had good reaction time,” /u/Business-Animator-91 added.
“Seen time and time again, an average non-paying-attention driver, when hearing a rapidly approaching horn, will mash the brakes. Plan accordingly,” /u/Sianmink shared.
In Texas, a failure‑to‑yield right‑of‑way violation (like not yielding before a right‑on‑red) typically results in two points on your driving record (three if it causes a crash) along with a traffic fine, which varies by county and circumstances. (LegalClarity)
As for brake checking, intentionally slamming on your brakes to affect the car behind you can be treated as reckless driving or impeding traffic, which are misdemeanors punishable by fines (up to around $200 for reckless driving and up to $500 for impeding traffic) and potentially other penalties under Texas law.
