I’ve seen lots of comments and a few posts in this sub basically defending aggressive drivers on the road who want to tailgate and flash people who aren’t going fast enough for their liking. I keep seeing people say that if someone is tailgating or flashing you then you need to get out of their way! Like they own the road or something.
These super agro drivers just need to chill out a bit. You saving 1-2 minutes isn’t going to make or break your day. Just see too many overly emotional men with fragile egos on the road who can’t handle the slightest inconvenience to them. And honestly I feel like they’re all over this sub, so I’m ready for them all to attack me in the comments, I wouldn’t expect anything less from people like that
Right turns on red are legal across Ontario as long as you come to a full stop and ensure the way is clear. In this situation, I was waiting to make a left turn when the light turned green. As I began turning, a bus made a right turn on red. The intersection has heavy traffic and allows left turns during a green arrow, which lasts a couple of minutes. Once the arrow turns off, the light just turns green, and you must wait until it's safe to turn left.
“I’ll just be two minutes is not an excuse.”
I’ve heard that PE girl on social media say this.
If they only just looked at the lines on the pavement.
Brother went into an oncoming lane going 60kph.
People in my neighborhood, and honestly any fucking part of the city really, are always telling me to slow down when I’m driving, even if I’m not even speeding. Does anyone else experience this, and know why tf pedestrians seem to know/care about the speed of moving objects on the road.
Thanks for my little rant😂🥸
By the time I crossed the parked the car. The taxi driver had some friends and almost convinced the other driver run a red light. I told the other car driver that I have a dash cam footage of the accident and told her the taxi run a red light. I gave her my contact and emailed the police the footage when I got home.
The white Tesla model 3 was tailgating black Y in HOV lane on 403. I was driving at 125kmh.
If this sub isn't full of reasons why we should be able to take people's licenses away because they realistically have other options like bikes, transit, walking, car shares, etc, then I don't know what is.
Ever thought a terrible driver shouldn't be able to drive? How about an old senior driver? Maybe a drunk driver? Maybe your uncle who's a speeding idiot behind the wheel? What about that one lady who just makes you shake your head every time she drives over a curb? A garbage bin? Almost a dog?
If we wanted to really open up roads for those that really can't imagine life without a car, let's get these idiots into trains, buses or on bicycles.
It's mind googling how instead of taking drunk drivers licenses away we put breathalyzers into them. The only viable option is to get them completely out from behind a wheel and get them into a bus, ffs.
Ran the red very casually I must add. Thank god I saw it coming.
Picked up family from the airport just before 2am, the crash took place on 409 just before the big turn to merge onto 401 EB.
For those who may say they have a permit, they didn't. There was also an orange delivery bag in the passenger seat.
Adding onto a post from earlier today.
Just because someone is flashing their highbeams of blaring their horn that doesn't make them the crazy one. Just so we're all clear, if you coast in the acceleration lane at 70-80 when traffic is moving at 120, it forces everyone behind you to do the same which is incredibly dangerous. Step on the gas or keep off the highway.
Edit: Since there's some confusion in the comments, the acceleration lane is the temporary lane you merge from that ends after a few hundred metres. That's what I'm specifically referring to: People who coast in the merging lane at low speeds and only speed up once they're on the highway.
There are some of you out there driving with ONLY your flood lights on … at night. People can barely see you from the front, and can’t at all from the back. Can you even see? Turn your MF full lights ON, damn.
I’ve been watching a lot of clips here from people who think they’re 100% in the right whenever a driver is tailgating or high beaming them. But the clip clearly shows them going at the speed limit or even below the speed limit, and on some video it shows them hogging the left lane.
Kind reminder: you’re not a safe driver for driving the speed or driving slow, you’re endangering others and prohibiting the flow of traffic. You’re much more dangerous than the tailgater. 99% of tailgate situations are because of slow drivers, so move the fuck over or speed up.
Kind regards: Sane Toronto Driver
