A driver in a $200,000 Maybach-Mercedes made a U-turn against oncoming traffic.
Coloradan and Redditor /u/IndicationFew840 shared dashcam footage to the /r/IdiotsInCars subreddit from Greenwood Village, CO from earlier last month (Sept 28, 2024) showing a driver in a $200,000 Mercedes Maybach make a U-turn in front of him into oncoming traffic.
Check out the driver’s hare-brained move below.
The incident happened in Greenwood Village at the intersection of East Orchard Road and S Yosemite St (exact location on Google Maps linked here.)
As OP’s dashcam video shows, he’s driving on S. Yosemite St. approaching the aforementioned intersection.
Turning traffic going the other way presumably has an unprotected green.
Drivers must yield to oncoming traffic before turning or making a u-turn like this Highlander moments before OP enters the intersection.
As OP enters the intersection, suddenly a driver in a Mercedes-Maybach S-Class makes a U-turn right in front of OP and against oncoming traffic.
License plate PBZ ART can be made out.
OP brakes and swerves out of the way, narrowly avoiding collision.
Thankfully, no collision occurred and everyone escaped unscathed.
“(I) just paid off my car, too. I’m thankful there was no crash or damage.”
“God. On what planet does that guy think that was OK to do? You know that clown would have blamed you for that,” /u/PUNCH-WAS-SERVED commented.
“CO u-turns are wider than most. I think it’s the lack of oxygen combined with the high population of dumba**es,” /u/ServroAuSh**Talker added.
“Ah Denver Tech Center, tons of money, and weirdly enough fewer brain cells than expected. Growing up a mile from there got me jaded from all the rich idiots like Mr Maybach here,” former local /u/wagawee166 replied.
If you’re on the fence about whether you should get a dashcam, this video is another data point convincing you to do so ASAP.
