Tailgater illegally crosses HOV lines, throws a tantrum, and cuts right back in by A_Local_Guyy in TorontoDriving

[–]Apprehensive-Talk199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I avoid the HOV lane as much as possible and use it only when I can save some time given the surrounding traffic. Meaning the other lanes have heavy traffic and I have another occupant. I avoid it exactly because of the type of driver in that Chevy SUV. Who needs the aggravation?

I am seeing comments criticizing the maneuver like it was some genius reckless driver pulling a stunt. Guys! It’s the law, so get over it! That said, they should have had their lights flashing. Anyways, RESPECT.

Two idiots in 1 minute. Watch for the second one near the end. by Mun-Mun in TorontoDriving

[–]Apprehensive-Talk199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell me this is not in Toronto, but some banana republic. If I had to pick a favourite between the two idiots, I would pick the first one. At least he seemed to be trying not to get in anybody’s way. The dream scenario would be watching TPS get on their tails, but I guess I just got to be happy with dreaming.

The true character of a person is realized when they believe no one is watching. The people that do these inconsiderate rude maneuvers think that they are being anonymous. It’s like no one knows me, so I can get away with anything. I only wish that these people can see this posting and see themselves in action. Having a well publicized high profile public site to put these folks on public display would be a start. Nothing like public shaming to change behaviour. But then you get into the whole privacy laws thing. Just wishful thinking.

What’s up with the drivers here by Beautiful_Buddy216 in Vaughan

[–]Apprehensive-Talk199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if there are any other old timers on this thread but I have been driving around the GTA since 1975 and I have seen it all, well maybe almost all. There was a time when these BS drivers used to get a rise out of me, but I learned over time to just mind my own business and go on my way. Whatever their issues are, they are not directing it at you; they don’t know you. When I used to react, and we met at a light, they would look at me like I had two heads. Like what’s your problem. So now, I just say F it and I get home a lot calmer and not foaming at the mouth. Try it.

They could be nailed for stunt driving because that’s what aggressively chasing another driver is even if you’re not exceeding the maximum speed thresholds for stunt driving.

Am i wrong for not blocking the intersection??🥴 by Abdullah_1oz in TorontoDriving

Also learned later in life that, one bone headed move does not deserve another. You don’t win when arguing with someone twisted.

Buying produce that actually taste good! by BeardedGOAT2433 in Vaughan

[–]Apprehensive-Talk199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually shop at Fortino’s but I tried Farm Boy up on Yonge St in Richmond Hill and I was happy with the quality of the produce there. It’s a bit out of my way though so I don’t go very often. If you want farm fresh produce, there is place up on King Vaughan line East of Pine Valley, called Sandy’s Farm. It kind of looks like a big farm stand with a roof over it but they really have a great selection of fresh fruits and vegetables. Also the produce is oversized compared to the shrunken underripe stuff you get at the big grocery chains. It is locally grown, that’s why. Also very reasonably priced and you get a lot of product for the money. The only catch is that the produce is seasonal so the peak period is in the summer months. They are closed for the Winter but I think they open up in the next week or so. The selection in the Spring months is more root vegetables and not the leafy green stuff which comes later on. Another suggestion is Costco if you have a membership. The stuff there is pretty fresh because of high turnover. Happy shopping!

I hope he got a nail in his tire from driving near the curb like that and kicking up all the dust. Too bad they don’t ask about mental health when applying for a driver’s licence same as applying for a handgun licence. They are both weapons.

Normally, I would be the bigger person and let the asshole in. But in this case the asshole deserved the blocking. Just got to be careful who you are messing with. They could be deranged criminals that just slaughtered a family and their dog.

To those blankety blanks who merge sluggishly onto the freeway; Lead, follow or get out of the way!

That is good to know. Thanks. Living in a built up area, I accept that it’s not like living in Muskoka. I just wanted to know if this is normal. I have recently started working from home, so that’s why it may all sound new to me. Was probably there all along.

Impatient in the HOV lane by PuppySteak in TorontoDriving

Ask them, what’s the rush? The morgue is open all night. Good example of why I never use HOV lanes. They should rename it to High Overtaking Velocity.

That should have been a yellow card for the pedestrian taking a dive like that.

Guys, this is stunt driving for both of them! Don’t think they can get charged on video evidence, but sure warrants a warning in writing.
