A driver performed a dangerous multi-lane highway maneuver near iShowSpeed’s tour bus during his live-streamed road trip across America. The entire incident was captured by the bus’s forward-facing dash cam while thousands watched online.
The reckless driving happened when a car suddenly cut across multiple lanes near an exit, coming dangerously close to Speed’s branded tour bus. The abrupt movement prompted immediate concern from Speed, who questioned why the driver was behaving that way during the live broadcast.
Police took it seriously. According to Speed’s team, a police officer approached them after the dangerous maneuver and requested the dash cam footage as potential evidence. The live stream had recorded everything in clear detail, making it valuable for any investigation into reckless driving charges.
The driver’s motivations appear tied to stream sniping—when viewers use a streamer’s live location to physically insert themselves into broadcasts. With Speed’s bus featuring prominent branding and a public dash cam feed showing his exact highway position, tracking the vehicle becomes easy for anyone watching.
No one was hurt and there was no crash. Speed’s bus continued its journey without interruption, though the close call highlighted ongoing safety concerns for high-profile streamers broadcasting their locations in real time.
Later, an Aston Martin Valkyrie appeared on stream, suggesting the team had reached Utah for a planned collaboration with local supercar enthusiast Supercar Ron.
The close call raises questions about balancing engaging travel content with safety. While dash cam views add excitement to road trip streams, they also enable potentially dangerous behavior from overeager fans. Speed’s massive audience of tens of millions means even a tiny percentage of viewers attempting real-world interactions can create frequent disruptions.
As of now, the identity of the driver and whether charges were filed remains unconfirmed. The dash cam footage now sits with law enforcement as potential evidence of reckless endangerment on public highways.
