What Happens When Bad Drivers Get Instant Karma

Is there anything more frustrating than a bad driver? It’s galling that the majority of road ragers get away without punishment, but every now and then, karma smiles down on the freeway and instantly punishes anyone stupid enough to be risking the lives of others while behind the wheel.

Here are some true stories of terrible drivers that received instant karma.

Loudspeaker Punishment

It was night time and it was raining really hard. This guy in a Mustang runs a red light and immediately gets pulled over by a squad car. Over the loudspeaker the cop ordered the driver to get out of the vehicle and put their hands on the roof of the car which the guy does.

Then, nothing. The cop just left him there for about 30 seconds getting soaked by the rain, then used the loudspeaker again.

“Next time you run a red light during a storm, don’t do it right in front of a cop, genius.” Then he just drove away. Story credit: Reddit / [deleted]

Bait and Switch

I witnessed a police officer, fully marked unit get tailgated by some guy in a Hyundai, the cop moves over a lane, the Hyundai passes him and he promptly gets back over behind him lights on. It was glorious to watch. Story credit: Reddit / TheAwesomeAuston

A Reason To Go Slow

I was driving along the highway at the speed limit and some idiot was tailgating me. Eventually he illegally overtook me and the car in front.

What he didn’t realise was that the reason I was strictly adhering to the limit was that car in front of me was a police car. Bloke got pulled right over. Story credit: Reddit / shadowaway

Time to Go to Work

I was in some heavy traffic going into an event center, I noticed a squad car sitting on the median making sure people weren’t doing stupid stuff. Right as we are getting up to where the squad was some idiot cuts across 2 lanes of traffic (cutting me off) and going into a drive with a “

do not enter” sign.

All of this right in front of a marked squad car. I made eye contact with the officer as he put down his coffee and flipped on his blues. Story credit: Reddit / [deleted]
