Driver in a Ford F-150 decides, or plain ol’ forgets that yielding is a thing and nearly causes one expensive and unnecessary T-bone collision.
Austin-area driver and Redditor /u/TroyIsAWinner shared headshaking dashcam footage from earlier in February (Feb 20, 2026) to the /r/IdiotsInCars subreddit showing this ignorant driver in their Ford F-150 just flat out not yielding at all at this busy Austin intersection, nearly causing their own t-bone accident.
Check out the dashcam footage below with the original Reddit thread linked here.
The incident happened at the intersection of Parkfield Dr. and Runfield Ln (Exact location on Google Maps linked here.)
As the dashcam shows, OP is headed eastbound on Parkfield Dr through the aforementioned intersection.
With the right of way, and presuming that turners know the basic driving knowledge to yield for drivers going straight before turning, OP heads through the intersection.
Suddenly, this driver in a Ford F-150 fails to yield, causing OP to emergency brake as they make their merry way in front of him.
Thankfully, OP brakes in time, narrowly avoiding a gnarly t-bone collision by mere inches.
OP’s thread title reads, “Moron forgetting to yield on left turn.”
“White truck behaviour,” the top comment from /u/squeakynickles reads.
“Forgot” lol. Typical trucklodyte behavior. They love bullying people like that, knowing that the other driver will stop to avoid a collision,” /u/FlamingFecalFrisbee added.
“They did NOT forget. They are entitled,” /u/Mathgailuke concurred.
In Austin, Texas, a failure‑to‑yield when turning is typically cited as a moving violation with a fine up to about $200 plus court costs under the city’s traffic schedule for “failed to yield” offenses. (Austin Texas) Under Texas state law, non‑injury failure‑to‑yield violations generally result in about 2 points on your driving record (and 3 points if a crash occurs), which can impact insurance and license status.
