Driver has license revoked after swerving towards cyclist in Twitch stream

Norwegian streamer ‘detoo’ has been banned from Twitch after broadcasting a driver seeming to intentionally swerve toward a cyclist on the road.

One night in April 2025, ‘detoo’ went live on Twitch, where he broadcast a friend driving near Lillestrøm, a municipality in Norway.

At one point, a cyclist — who was wearing a flashlight to help himself be visible to oncoming cars in the darkness — approached from the opposite lane.

Seemingly as a joke, the driver turned off his headlights and edged into the cyclist’s lane, as though appearing to intentionally ‘almost’ strike them with his car before moving back into his own lane on the road.

While detoo and his friends in the car laughed about the situation, severe consequences soon followed. A few days later, detoo’s Twitch channel was banned, showing a message that states he was suspended due to “violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.”

That’s not all; the driver’s license was also suspended under Section 3 of Norway’s Road Traffic Act, as per reports from Norwegian news outlets.

Driver’s license suspended after intentionally swerving toward cyclist

According to local authorities, law enforcement was tipped off about the incident after a clip from detoo’s stream went viral online, catching flak on sites like Reddit and X.

“We received a lot of tips from people who reacted to the driving, both via telephone and the police tip log,” project manager Hustad said.

Police found the driver at a gas station on Wednesday, April 16, and seized his driver’s license — something he reportedly objected to at the scene. He is now under investigation, and authorities still have yet to identify the cyclist in his broadcast.

Duty officer Eirik Skjeldrum, from the Eastern Police District, explained their reasoning behind confiscating his license in a statement to news outlets, saying they “considered that the driving the driver demonstrated on the video should result in the driver’s license being seized.”

In a statement to Dexerto, detoo confirmed that he was not the one driving the car during the stream that caught police’s attention.

This is just the latest Twitch ban to happen as an apparent result of dangerous driving; for instance, popular streamer ExtraEmily was given a 24-hour ban after broadcasting herself driving through a red light on April 13, while FaZe’s StableRonaldo was banned in summer 2024 for reckless driving during a broadcast that sparked backlash across social media.
