Despite having the onus to merge onto a road only when it’s safe, this pickup driver’s gotten used to having his way.
Williamson County driver and Redditor /u/Wolftendragon shared headshaking dashcam footage from earlier in February (Feb 3, 2026) showing this brodozer driver trying to brute force his way exiting this Thompson’s Station gas station, only to be stopped by a dashcam owner insisting on keeping their right-of-way.
Check out the dashcam footage embedded below with the original Reddit thread linked here.
[OC] Almost got hit again 🙃 then proceeds to take a blind left turn and almost hits a car in the turning lane.

The incident happened in the 4900 block of TN-6/Columbia Pike at the exit of this Exxon Gas Station and just before the intersection with Thompson’s Station Rd E/W (Exact location on Google Maps linked here.)
As the dashcam shows, OP is driving along Columbia Pike when she comes up to the driveway exit to the local Exxon.
A driver in a late-’90s/early ’00s Chevrolet Silverado with aftermarket wheels can be seen approaching Columbia Pike from the driveway exit without any signs of slowing.
Drivers merging onto a road from a driveway have the duty of care only to do so when it’s safe (i.e., without encroaching on the right-of-way of other traffic)
OP emergency brakes within feet of the Silverado, causing the Silverado driver to brake, too, to avoid a collision.
OP takes her right of way and continues in front of the Silverado.
It doesn’t end there because, as the thread title says, the driver “proceeds to take a blind left turn and almost hits a car in the turning lane.”
“PS: Yes, you do hear a dove in the car lol she’s my pet. Was taking her to an exotic vet,” OP clarifies in the comments.
“Wow. Glad you and the other car that jacka** almost hit are okay,” one of the top comments from /u/NeighborhoodVirtual4 reads.
“Good job continuing out of the danger zone instead of panic braking in their path,” /u/appa-ate-momo added.
In Tennessee, traffic violations like failing to yield right‑of‑way generally add 4 points to your driving record, and improper turns (like cutting off another driver) typically add 3–4 points under the state point system.
Accumulating 12 or more points in 12 months can trigger a proposed license suspension, and fines for such violations vary by local court but are usually hundreds of dollars total, including fees. Points remain on your driving record for purposes of suspension for about a year from conviction and can affect insurance rates. (dmv.com)
