An old lady driver with disabled plates was caught on dashcam driving into oncoming traffic.
San Bernardino County-area driver and Redditor /u/RunWithPugs shared headshaking dashcam footage from Chino from earlier in July (July 23, 2026) showing an old lady in her Toyota turning off the 71 and driving into oncoming traffic.
Worse yet, instead of self-correcting, they were seen continuing for several hundred feet.
Check out the dashcam views below with the original Reddit thread linked here.
The incident happened at the intersection of a 71 off-ramp access road and Chino Hills Parkway (Exact location on Google Maps linked here.)
As the dashcam shows, OP is pointed east, ready to turn left onto the 71 North.
Drivers on his right begin to go straight and turn left.
However, one driver in a white Toyota SUV can be seen turning too sharply and into oncoming traffic.
“You can see her be like “oh s***,” but then she commits anyways lmao,” one of the top comments from /u/MySisterPegsMe reads.
The driver behind OP can be seen staring in bewilderment, too.
OP doesn’t give much detail or follow-up beyond what’s provided, but it’s safe to assume other traffic re-routed around the confused old lady.
“Yike. That’s not how that works. She should not be on the road,” /u/Salty-Sprinkles-1562 added.
“Confused elderly woman forced by the richest country on earth to continue operating a massively dangerous vehicle rather than having any public transit option,” /u/OK-Leave_1059 said, sarcastically.
Driving the wrong way into opposing traffic in Chino can result in a citation under California law carrying a fine of about $400 after penalties and assessments, along with 1 DMV point on your driving record. If the maneuver is especially dangerous or causes injuries, the penalties can be much more severe, including misdemeanor charges. (courts.ca.gov)
