This is what happens when this driver in a Honda Fit made a right turn from the leftmost lane…without signaling.
Allentown driver and Redditor /u/Mekelaxo shared headshaking dashcam footage from earlier this week (Jan 20, 2026) to the /r/IdiotsInCars subreddit showing the harebrained moment this ignorant driver brute-forced a right turn from the wrong lane, the leftmost lane, causing confusion and almost resulting in multiple car collisions.
Check out their display of bad driving embedded below with the original Reddit thread linked here.
The incident happened at the intersection of W Allen St. and N 7th St. (Exact location on Google Maps linked here.)
As the dashcam shows, OP is stopped, headed westbound on Allen St. towards the aforementioned intersection.
To his right, he starts seeing this harebrained situation play out as a driver in a Honda Fit is brute-forcing their way into a right turn from the wrong lane.
We see a driver in a school bus slow to avoid getting hit, followed by a driver in a Honda CR-V taking their right-of-way, turning right, too, slowing to avoid the Honda Fit driver.
The Fit driver eventually completes their turn, albeit illegally, and fortunately, everyone emerges unscathed.
“License should be revoked immediately,” the top comment from /u/TraditionalTackle1 reads.
“We all make mistakes, like ending up in the wrong lane. Whether we pay the price ourselves (go around the block) or make everyone else pay the price (block traffic/cause accidents) is a direct representation of your TRUE (not the fake presentation of) character,” /u/whereverYouGoThereUR expounds upon.
“This is one of those, Google maps says, ‘Turn right here,” and they don’t think of anything else they can do,” /u/OwnBunch4027 deduces.
In Allentown, PA, making an unsafe right turn from the wrong lane would be treated as an improper lane/turn violation under Pennsylvania law, typically classified as a summary offense with a base fine of around $25 plus court costs and results in 3 demerit points on your PennDOT driving record if convicted. Summary: moving violations generally carry modest fines but can still increase insurance premiums and add points that count toward PennDOT corrective actions once you hit six points.
