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?

Karma just kicked in yo!

Man that didn’t look like a cop car tbh, the wheels were steelies with wheel covers and there was no sirens on top!

Which is why it’s “undercover” cop car :|

Lmao you obviously never heard of undercover cop cars

Yeah that’s the word I’m looking for, undercover cop car, but usually you can still tell cuz of a big spotlight on the front pillar, lots of antennas fro communication, cop car wheels, etc. I’ve never seen an undercover Explorer yet tbh.

Bruh 😂

I got 5 dislikes for saying that this undercover cop’s car looked especially stealth/undercover?

The Explorer found something to explore… The Sequoia driver’s information.

He should’ve used this

I guess he never watched that video

agree

True

Damn explorer cop cars. It gets in your DNA quickly to spot a Crown Vic behind you here, but now they are using Explorers with the new light bars…

Except if something else happened before, i think the police officer just wanted to flex his muscles

I think it’s clear that the Toyota is wrong, he didn’t merge really that nice the first time. The second time tried to merge in a gap that isn’t there. Typical big car behaviour

i do agree with you.

I think the cop was being a *ick… Toyota driver was clearly indicating his intentions and a good, safe and polite driver would’ve given him the space to do it safely.

Still you can’t expect people to see your indicators at all times, so he just forces the cop to break? That’ rude I would be mad aswell

Same here.

I think people need to stop thinking that just because they’ve put their indicator on, that it suddenly gives them right of way.

You missed the bit where he made a car slam on it’s brakes huh?

The “polite” Toyota driver should have stopped after he cut off the Honda. If they were really polite they would have slowed down in their lane and moved over when it was clear. There was obviously a ton of space further down the road for that to happen.

They probably drive like that all the time.
