This driver in a Ford F-150 didn’t care to look in their mirror or even over their shoulder before changing lanes.
Jefferson County-area driver and Redditor /u/BilliamJ2 shared head-shaking dashcam footage from along State Rte 3 from earlier in October (Oct 5, 2026) to the /r/Dashcam subreddit, showing a plain ol’ bad driver in their Ford F-150 brute-forcing their way into a lane change with no signal, no mirror check, certainly no shoulder check, and despite the truck’s safety sensors telling him not to.
Check out the near-accident below with the original Reddit thread linked here.
The incident happened in the 900 block of Arsenal St. (Exact location on Google Maps linked here.)
As the dashcam shows, OP is headed west on State Rte 3 towards the 81.
Just before the KFC, a driver in a black Ford F-150 (93991-ND) starts to drift towards OP.
Keen eyes will notice the indicator on their driver’s side mirror informing the driver of OP’s presence next to them.
Despite the warning and OP honking, the F-150 driver changes lanes anyway.
OP is forced into the middle turn lane to avoid getting hit.
The driver can be seen unapologetically driving in front of OP, with no apology wave or anything.
Thankfully, nothing more came of the accident except that near miss.
“I see that happen a lot here. I always accelerate faster than the person next to me, or slower, but never at the same speed behind their field of view,” the top comment from /u/Conspicuous_Ruse begins.
“Same with two-lane turns. I always stay a bit ahead of the car next to me so I’m always in their field of view.”
“And they always just keep coming over. We know damn well that they heard that long a** horn,” /u/-Non-Stop added.
In Watertown, New York, an unsafe/no-look lane change under NY VTL §1128(a) carries 3 DMV points and a $150 base fine, before court fees and assessments. (nysenate.gov)
