Open world games likeGrand Theft Auto Onlinegive players all kinds of things to do. Players can engage in unique activities andevents inGTA Onlineto compete against others and gain exciting rewards. Needless to say, vehicles are an integral part of theGrand Theft Autouniverse, as they’re needed to traverse the gigantic map of the game.
Rockstar has added a vast collection of amazingcars toGrand Theft Auto Online, making traveling quite easy. However, the sheer amount of traffic often delays players due to unexpected crashes and holdups. Regardless of the car, if a person keeps on wrecking their car, going from one point to another will take substantially longer. Consequently, someGrand Theft Auto Onlineplayers like Reddit user T3AMTRAINOR suspect NPCs are deliberately crashing with their vehicles.

The user has strong reason to believe thatGTA Onlinedevs have programmed NPCs to crash their vehicles into the player’s car. Moreover, T3AMTRAINOR has shared evidence for the same in a short video on Reddit, which confirms this theory. The video starts with the user speeding in a convertible car on a clear road. They approach an intersection with a red light, and another car can be seen moving towards another side of the road. Surprisingly, the said car had crossed the intersection before the user arrived but suddenly moved back just in time to hit the oncoming vehicle, resulting in a terrible crash. The abrupt change of direction of the NPC’s car all but confirms thatGTA Onlinecould be programmed to cause more car accidents.
The post ultimately caught the eye of theGrand Theft Auto Onlinecommunity on Reddit, who expressed solidarity with T3AMTRAINOR and applauded them for bringing it out. The video received more than 7,000 upvotes and hundreds of comments in two days. Most people shared similar experiences inGTA Online, where an NPC intentionally crashed into their vehicle to slow them down. One user talked about a car crash where aGTA OnlineNPC rammedinto their vehicle despite being two lanes away.
This is not the first timeGrand Theft Auto OnlineNPCs have done something out of the ordinary. Players have witnessed some genuinely random acts, like theGTA OnlineNPC stealing a sparrow helicopter twiceand an NPC getting stuck on a plane.
