A jaw-dropping video shared by the account I Post Forbidden Videos on X (formerly Twitter) is going viral for all the wrong reasons. Clocking in at just 14 seconds, the short clip has ignited heated discussion online after it shows a reckless driver committing a shocking series of traffic violations, including nearly crashing into an NYPD vehicle.
Filmed from the driver’s point of view, the video opens with a clear shot of a New York road, but any illusion of responsible driving disappears within seconds. The driver grips the wheel with one hand while speeding through traffic, showing no regard for safety. In one heart-stopping moment, the vehicle swerves toward the bus lane and comes within inches of slamming into an NYPD cruiser that appears to be speeding through on official business. Instead of reacting with caution, the driver presses the gas and keeps going.
What follows is a chaotic display of traffic violations. The driver blows through not one, but two red lights, ignores a clearly marked yield sign, and passes another car during a one-lane merge. Without signaling or even glancing at surrounding vehicles, he abruptly cuts across multiple lanes from the far right to the far left, narrowly missing other cars. The entire sequence plays out with alarming confidence, prompting the video’s caption, “Dude does not care.”
Viral Video Sparks Outrage as Reckless Driver Nearly Collides With NYPD, Blows Through Red Lights
The clip has exploded online, with thousands of reposts and heated reactions from viewers. Many are calling out the blatant recklessness on display, with one user asking, “How is this dude not in jail?” Another stunned viewer wrote, “He passed an NYPD car like that?? He’s got a death wish.” Comments ranging from disbelief to fury filled the thread, with one person bluntly stating, “License REVOKED. Immediately.”
While it’s unclear whether authorities have identified the driver, calls for an investigation are growing. The video has sparked debate about the consequences, or lack thereof, for drivers who recklessly endanger others while filming for clout. The fact that a police vehicle was nearly involved has only fueled demands for accountability.
Comment Section Spirals Into Car-Fueled Chaos After Viral Driving Clip
The comment section under the viral video has become just as chaotic as the footage itself. Social media users wasted no time airing their frustrations, with several posts quickly gaining traction for their brutally honest and at times controversial takes. One user claimed, “These animals are all over NYC,” before going on a profanity-laced rant targeting specific car brands like BMWs, Infinitis, and Altimas, and even using a slur to describe certain drivers. Another user chimed in with, “BMWs are for low IQ individuals,” adding fuel to the fire of car-brand stereotyping.
The discourse didn’t stop at driving habits. One particularly inflammatory comment suggested that anyone who condoned the driver’s actions should be handed a “one-way ticket” out of the country. Amid the heated remarks, a more straightforward reaction summed up the overall vibe, “Fam reckless af.”
