Apparently, stop signs are optional to this goofball in their Toyota Tundra.
Routt County-area driver and Redditor /u/esfraritagrivirit shared headshaking dashcam footage from earlier in July (July 12, 2026) to the /r/IdiotsInCars subreddit showing an ignorant driver blasting through this intersection, despite having a stop sign, and almost t-boning OP, the dashcam owner, as a result.
Check out how their ignorance played out below with the original Reddit thread linked here.
The incident happened at the intersection of Steamboat Blvd with Rockies Way, just before the roundabout at Mt. Werner Rd. (Exact location on Google Maps linked here.)
As the dashcam shows, OP is headed southbound down Steamboat Blvd towards the aforementioned intersection.
As he approaches the roundabout, he crosses in front of Rockies Way.
Drivers on Rockies Way have a stop sign, obviously, requiring drivers to come to a complete stop first, yielding to cross traffic, OP included, with the right of way.
This driver in a Toyota Tundra with a camper top was having none of that, thought a stop was optional, and just steamrolled through, forcing OP to emergency brake to avoid t-boning them.
Of course, the Tundra drivers get their way, ironically, forced to yield to a Ford Bronco already in the roundabout.
“Stop signs are optional but yield signs are not. Make it make sense!?!!,” /u/Alpine_Nomad noted.
“The audacity of him not even stopping for a second and looking both ways is mind-boggling,” the top comment from /u/Rook811 reads.
“I’m thinking his A-beam and/or that bush hid me from his view. Then his thought process was something like, “no cars around, stop sign optional, weeeeee,” OP replied.
In Steamboat Springs, a stop sign violation is generally prosecuted under Colorado traffic law and typically carries a $100 base fine (plus court costs and surcharges), which can double after all the fees, and 4 points on your driver’s license. The exact amount due can vary depending on applicable surcharges and the court handling the citation. (csp.colorado.gov)
