“I think maybe as a society, we need to collectively be in less of a hurry,” the title to this dashcam video reads.
Fulshear commuter and Redditor /u/rdybala shared headshaking dashcam footage from earlier this week (Apr 28, 2025) to the /r/idiotsincars subreddit showing a pickup truck driver decide they’re too good for red lights, blowing through a pair of ’em at this Texas Heritage Parkway intersection.
Time saved? 10 seconds.
Check out their dashcam footage embedded below with the original Reddit thread linked here.
The incident happened at the intersection of Texas Heritage Parkway and FM 1093/ FM 359 (exact location on Google Maps linked here.)
In the dashcam footage, OP is waiting for his lights to turn green so he can proceed through the intersection with FM 1093 at around 6 in the morning.
Suddenly, a driver in a black pickup drives up on his right, blows through the first set of stop lights before pausing and blowing through the second set of lights up ahead to make his left turn.
You can count, total time saved by this “time-saving” traffic maneuver? 10-11 seconds.
You can still make out the offender’s truck a second before he would’ve gotten the green, anyway.
“I think it’s got nothing to do with being in a hurry, they probably are not. Just self-entitled. I just think people deliberately doing shit like this should immediate lose their license for a year,” the top comment from /u/rainmouse reads.
“Are you kidding?” /u/jp2129 commented.
“If they do that, how could they reach nowhere late?”
“It’s not like they would be wise enough to leave early to arrive before time, they would rather be 10 minutes late than 2 mins early.”
“There is a solution: Leave earlier,” /u/69vuman suggested.
“Lights are not gods, kings, or rulers. Lights are tools to aid with the flow of traffic…,” a comment from “TheDevil-YouKnow pointed out in defense of this red light runner’s actions.
Ethics of red lights in empty spaces aside, it’s a ticketable offense.
Violators in Texas will be expected to pay base fines between $75 and $200 and look forward to two points on their record.
