This doofus pulled out onto Mineral Wells Highway without properly yielding and almost paid for it by nearly getting rear-ended at speed.
Parker County-area driver and Redditor /u/Jimmyslaughter shared head-shaking dashcam footage from Mineral Wells Highway from earlier in October (Oct 10, 2026) to the /r/IdiotsInCars, showing an ignorant driver pulling out onto U.S. 180 without yielding at all, nearly causing a dashcam owner to rear-end them at 60+ MPH.
Check out how it all played out below with the original Reddit thread linked here.
The incident happened at the intersection of U.S. 180/Mineral Wells Highway and Maddux Rd. (exact location on Google Maps linked here.)
As the dashcam shows, OP is headed west on US-180 towards Mineral Wells.
The speed limit is 65 MPH, and OP clarifies he was driving thereabouts at the time of the incident.
As he approaches the aforementioned intersection, a driver in a white Toyota Corolla pulls out onto Mineral Wells Highway without yielding.
Here’s how clear a view they had of OP approaching, so she had plenty of view to judge when to pull out; she just didn’t yield.
OP was initially going to swerve left but, with a car approaching, they swerved right onto the shoulder.
“Speed limit on the highway is 65mph,” OP explained in the comments.
“I was probably going about that fast. I started to move into the left lane to avoid her, but noticed another car coming up to pass me. That’s when I committed to the shoulder instead.
And he’s probably looking at his mirror thinking, “Wow, what an idiot, he can’t even drive straight, they should take his license away!,” /u/404GirlHumorNotFound added in the comments.
“When I looked over at her, she had a really confused look on her face,” OP replied.
In Weatherford, TX, pulling out without yielding generally carries a fine of up to $200 plus court costs for a standard traffic offense, though the exact amount depends on the citation. If the failure to yield causes a collision resulting in injury, fines can rise to $500–$2,000 for bodily injury or $1,000–$4,000 for serious bodily injury. Texas does not use a standard driver’s license points system for ordinary traffic violations.
