This driver was caught on dashcam slamming into a car at this Wichita roundabout and refused to give a statement. She didn’t know there was incriminating footage.
Sedgwick County-area driver and Redditor /u/MenaceMinded shared headshaking dashcam footage from earlier last year (June 21, 2025) to the /r/IdiotsInCars subreddit showing a driver entering this Wichita roundabout at the Delano Clock Tower without yielding to traffic already in the circle, colliding with a dashcam owner, and, when confronted by their insurance to take responsibility, giving them the runaround for no good reason.
Check out the incriminating dashcam footage below with the original Reddit thread linked here.
The incident happened at this Wichita roundabout at the intersection of N Sycamore St. and West Douglas Ave. (Exact location on Google Maps linked here.)
As the dashcam shows, OP enters the aforementioned single lane roundabout.
Suddenly, a driver in a Lincoln SUV initially on W Douglas Ave approaches the roundabout and, instead of simply yielding for traffic already in the circle, like you’re supposed to do, they brute force their way in, clipping the rear quarter panel of OP’s vehicle in the process.
This was not a slight tap; it was a substantial hit, one that absolutely required insurance information to be exchanged.
“100% on them,” the top comment from /u/LMG9 reads.
“She refused to give a statement for a week, too. Her insurance was just waiting for her to admit she was the driver before they could start on repairs for my car,” OP replied.
OP does clarify that eventually the guilty driver does fess up to their mistake, although a whole week later, which was totally unnecessary.
“This was last year. Her insurance fixed my car without issue once they got her statement. They needed her to admit she was the driver of the other car, which she did. She never knew about the dash cam video,” OP further clarified.
In Kansas, failing to yield in a roundabout and causing a crash is typically charged as a failure to yield / inattentive driving-type moving violation, with fines often ranging from about $150 to $500+ depending on court costs and circumstances. It usually carries around 3–4 points on your driving record if cited as a standard moving violation (more if additional charges like careless driving are added). Insurance rates will likely increase since it’s considered an at-fault collision.
