In a case of instant justice, this goofball’s road rage, followed by a brake check, did not go unnoticed or unpunished.
Traverse City-area driver and Redditor /u/SoShiaReef shared head-shaking dashcam footage of instant justice from earlier in October (Oct 23, 2026) to the /r/Dashcams subreddit, showing a driver failing to yield on a right-on-red, then pivoting to road rage when called out via horn.
However, it did not go unnoticed.
Here’s how it played out below with the original Reddit thread linked here.
The incident happened at the intersection of South Airport Rd. and Division St (Exact location on Google Maps linked here.)
As the dashcam shows, OP is headed west on Co Rd 620/ South Airport Rd towards Silver Lake Rd.
As he approaches the aforementioned intersection, a driver going south on Division in the right-turn-only lane fails to yield despite OP fast approaching and having the right of way.
They swing wide into the leftmost lane before accelerating and swerving back in front of OP.
To top it all off, they brake-checked OP, too, before swerving back.
This did not go unnoticed as a Grand Traverse County Sheriff in their interceptor saw it all play out.
The Sheriff pulls behind the incompetent driver, waits a beat, then lights them up to pull them over.
OP can be heard letting out one hearty chortle
“Every bit of that was satisfying 😄,” the top comment from /u/MurielCoral reads.
“Laying on the horn after the person already moved to the other lane. The laugh and clap. She seems aggressive in general,” /u/science-stuff added, pointing out how, despite the turner being clearly in the wrong, a bit of rage baiting by the dashcam owner might’ve played a part here, too.
“The most justified goblin laugh I’ve ever heard,” /u/Slightly_Sane_ added.
In Michigan, failing to yield on a right on red is a civil infraction that carries 2 points and an estimated fine of $130 to $135. Road raging with a brake check is classified as reckless driving, a misdemeanor carrying 6 points, a mandatory 90-day license suspension, and a fine of up to $500 plus court costs. Combined, you face up to 8 points and an estimated total fine of $630 to $635 (plus significant court costs), assuming only the highest point violation from a single incident is assessed.
