A pickup driver fails to see a dashcam owner approaching despite being able to see them from 200 feet away.
Salt Lake City-area driver and Redditor /u/redruM69 shared headshaking dashcam footage from earlier in February (Feb 25, 2026) to the /r/IdiotsInCars subreddit showing a driver in a heavy-duty Ram 2500 diesel exiting onto 900 W into a dashcam owner’s vehicle despite the dashcam owner being visible to the pickup driver from 200 feet away.
Check out the dashcam footage embedded below with the original Reddit thread linked here.
The incident happened in the 180 block of S 900 W as this vehicle exited Consolidated Electrical Distributors (Exact location on Google Maps linked here.)
As the dashcam shows, OP is driving northbound on S 900 W towards the intersection with 1700 S.
From 200 feet away (as measured on Google Maps), a driver in a bright green Ram 2500 HD pickup can be seen approaching the edge of and stopping before entering S 900 W.
Blocking OP’s car is a driver in a Ford F-150 with a utility camper; however, OP was clearly visible to the driver for several seconds before he “disappeared” behind the F-150.
Perhaps distracted, the Ram 2500 driver assumes it’s all clear after the Ford F-150 turns into CED and guns it onto 900 W.
Big mistake as he slams into the front fender of OP’s vehicle.
“Are you f***ing kidding me? Jes**. G*d damnint,” OP exclaims, and rightfully so, as the Ram 2500 driver caused thousands in damage.
“Your vehicle was in the lane for a loooonnnggg time before the vehicle in front turned right. It’s not like you disappeared. Guys an idiot!,” the top comment from /u/bunnyhunter80 reads.
“That’s the kind of behavior one would expect from a ram, though?,” /u/BinBender humoursly points out.
“Shouldn’t have had invisibility mode on, common mistake,” /y/TheClicker335 added. In Utah (including Salt Lake City), failing to yield and causing an accident is treated as a moving violation that typically results in a traffic citation with a monetary fine set by the judge or local court (many basic traffic fines fall roughly in the $100–$300 range, though causing a crash can increase the amount).(Utah Court Records)
It also adds about 60 points to your Utah driving record under the state’s point system.(dmv.org) If you accumulate too many points (200+ for adults within three years), you could face a license suspension.(dld.utah.gov)
