This Toyota Driver Cut In Front Of The Wrong Car
In this hilarious dashcam footage shot in California, a Toyota Sequoia driver is seen cutting his way in front of a Ford Explorer, before finding out it's an unmarked police vehicle...
While this video is quite amusing to watch, exactly who’s in the wrong is open for debate. The Toyota driver did have his indicator on and there did look to be a gap, which the police officer in the Explorer appeared to close at the last minute. Then again, the officer isn’t obliged to let him merge, so perhaps the Sequoia driver should have just been more patient rather than cut into a rapidly disappearing gap.
What do you think?

He shouldn’t have squeezed in.
Police be like thug life.
Nice to see the 2 best car sites taking from each other. Old Jalops and CTzens
Seems harsh that the driver was stopped for that. They indicated and didn’t make any sudden maneuvers, it may not have been an ideal lane change but not worthy of getting stopped for imo.
rude driving, cutting off people. not worthy for a ticket, but very much deserve a word of warning at least to not drive like he owns the road.
Plus a the Toyota brakes checked the unmarked Ford at 0:22. You’ll see that there’s a lot of space up infront of the car as it is being pulled over.
Just because you indicate, that doesn’t mean you have the right of way. Yea, he indicated that he was going to switch lanes, but then forced his way into said lane by cutting off the officer. Turn signals are to let people know “Hey, I want/need over into the next lane” and not “You better stop/slow down so I can merge”. He cut off the officer because he was too impatient to wait for a clear space to merge into.
Uh yeah you did, what else was your “No they don’t” comment replying to? You must be insanely naive to not see the possibility of increased ticket revenue of the scenario you just described. Having unmarked cars around also makes people think “ oh well I don’t SEE any marked cop cars so I’m going to speed” then a unmarked cop car pulls them over to give them a ticket thus generate revenue they wouldn’t have had if it weren’t for the unmarked car. They hide in plain sight to catch and fine speeders they can’t catch with speed traps or marked cars, thats the scenario thats happening thats the scenario I dont like, YOUR little naive dream scneario only works if the public knows theres a considerable amount of unmarked vehicles on patrol, thus turning every car on the road a possible cop car. But as you may have not realized in all of your police officer worshipping that information often isn’t realeased to the public, there no news conference or public statement from the state or the city directly to the general public announcing their new unmarked vehicle operations. They don’t do this beacuse they don’t want people knowing they got new or more unmarked vehicles so they’re more likely to catch unsuspecting speeders and traffic violators and thus able to generate more revenue. I cannot see how you don’t understand that.
“Cas’ me in the shoulder how bout dat”
If you watch after the car is pulled over you see a ton of space in front of them. That first lane change from the Toyota was already rude enough. Not enough to be pulled over but definitely rude and unsafe. The next one, not only causes the Honda and anyone in the middle lane to slow down, it causes the officer to slow down too. When you’re switching lanes you have to adjust to the lane you’re going too, don’t expect people to change what they’re doing for you. The officer obviously wasn’t going to slam on his brakes to make room for him, so the logical thing to do would be either speed up or slow down and merge over once you have space or someone indicates it okay.
Obviously no one wanted to let them over, so forcing your way over is a good way to make someone mad. Coincidence it was a police officer.
cop was stupid for pulling him over. he did nothing wrong
In many states in the US, cutting someone of is indeed against the law. The guy cut the officer off when her merged. You can tell by how the officer had to hit the breaks so the guy would have room for his forceful lane change.
