This driver, in a rush, didn’t like how slow another driver was going, but had the time to brake-check them. Make it make sense.
Chelan County-area driver and Redditor /u/CherryFarmer68 shared headshaking dashcam footage from earlier in May (May 28, 2026) to the /r/IdiotsInCars subreddit showing an unhinged driver, in a rush to get past OP, then having the time to brake check and come to a complete stop in retaliation.
Check out their unhinged move below with the original Reddit thread linked here.
As mentioned, the incident happened as OP crossed over the Senator George Sellar Bridge, coming from East Wenatchee (Exact location on Google Maps linked here.)
As the dashcam shows, OP is headed due west onto the Sellar Bridge off of the 285.
Traffic typically slows here, as directed by the 40 MPH speed limit.
Fast approaching behind him is a driver in a dark Ford F-150, license plate 00677.
When the F-150 driver got the chance, he swings into the left lane, overtakes OP, swings back, and throws a brake check.
I thought they were in a rush? I guess not.
Both OP and the goofball drive off after the fact and across the bridge.
“For someone in a hurry, guy sure had time to play the fool,” the top comment from /u/Campandfish1 reads.
“People like this aren’t in a hurry. They’re mad at the world and looking to take it out on somebody,” /u/RandomFactoid42 replied.
‘I may be harsh, but these are the kind of people who should lose their license permanently (with very harsh punishment for being caught driving again (with exceptions for extreme circumstances, emergencies like evacuation from a wildfire, lifesaving sort of situations)),”/u/AptoticFox added.
“This isn’t an ‘oops’ kind of thing; this is very intentional and is evidence that they are not fit to operate a motor vehicle.”
Washington has no specific “brake checking” statute, but intentionally brake checking another driver can result in a reckless driving charge, a gross misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $5,000, up to 364 days in jail, and a minimum 30-day license suspension if convicted.

Washington does not use a driver’s license point system, so there are no points assessed for traffic violations. (Washington State Legislative Website)
