This insane driver made their move towards the exit less than 20 feet from the end of the off-ramp entrance.
Bellevue-area commuter and Redditor /u/BellevuePC shared headshaking dashcam footage from earlier last week (Feb 13, 2026) to the /r/IdiotsInCars subreddit showing a driver in a Toyota Sienna imposing their will on traffic traversing rain-soaked I-90 roads all so that they don’t miss their exit.
Check out the dashcam footage embedded below with the original Reddit thread linked here.
The incident happened just off the E Channel Bridge as traffic approached Exit 9 on I-90 onto Bellevue Way (Exact location on Google Maps linked here.)
As the dashcam shows, OP and other traffic have just crossed the E Channel Bridge and are headed East on I-90 towards the aforementioned exit.
Not less than 20 feet from the end of the entrance to Exit 9, a driver in a Toyota Sienna van, two lanes from the lane they’re supposed to be in to make said exit, signals and begins to brute force their way across I-90.
They miss the exit, but that doesn’t stop them from going through the gore point, an area cars are not supposed to drive through.
OP has to emergency brake to avoid hitting them, and the Sienna driver eventually gets their way.
“My stupidity trumps your right of way and safety!” – his internal rationale,” the top comment from /u/PsiKitten reads.
“Far too many drivers don’t get in the correct lane ahead of time before they need to turn/exit in the PNW. The number of drivers who should do this is 0%, but in actuality it’s more like 50%.”
“I very much approve of your honking. ❤️,” /u/Flux_My_Capacitor added.
In Bellevue, WA, a gore point violation is when you drive over or through the painted triangular gore/chevron area where a ramp meets a highway, which is illegal under Washington law.
State troopers can cite you under RCW 46.61.150, and fines for crossing a gore point can run around $400+ depending on how it’s charged in King County courts. Washington doesn’t use a typical point system — the Department of Licensing logs moving violations on your record, and too many in a short time (e.g., 6 in 12 months) can lead to a license suspension, though there aren’t “points” like some other states assign.
