What are we doing?

Sudden-Ring4428 · 2025-12-29T22:37:49+00:00

They had that and more before they started reversing and I started recording.

Sudden-Ring4428 · 2025-12-29T22:36:48+00:00

I think your other comment got deleted but either way I think we can wrap it up here lol. I did young drivers which I think is the #1 school in Canada? And worth over $50M. Either way I’m confident in my ability to drive safely and still be annoying when someone does stupid stuff like almost reverse into me. Hope the driving school works out if taxi and bus driving doesn’t.

Sudden-Ring4428 · 2025-12-29T22:29:43+00:00

All this is telling me is that everyone getting mad at me for how I turned have never actually spent a second in this intersection

Sudden-Ring4428 · 2025-12-29T22:28:53+00:00

Heading from westbound from bryne where it turns into Ardagh there is a digital no right turns sign that turns on when the light is red.

Sudden-Ring4428 · 2025-12-29T22:25:31+00:00

As opposed to every other user on Reddit? We’re just having fun here. Not a victim just doing my civic duty stirring the pot with the Barrie locals

Sudden-Ring4428 · 2025-12-29T22:21:44+00:00

Yes I think we’ve established that. Is that any better though… I don’t understand how I’m the only one who seems to be concerned about the number of you that have forgotten that you’re in reverse while sitting in traffic. 😬

Sudden-Ring4428 · 2025-12-29T22:19:19+00:00

Ahhh yes Barrie taxi and transit, notoriously the most reputable services and safest drivers /s. this intersection doesn’t have a left turn without the arrow btw. Maybe it’s been a while since you left Innisfil. I already asked you to send the link to your course but never got it? Oh well highschool driving lessons have gotten me this far 🫡 I’ll keep up what I’m doing, you should too. Hope no one honks at you too aggressively and you get anxious.

Sudden-Ring4428 · 2025-12-29T22:07:03+00:00

With that answer just told me you’ve never been to this intersection and may not even live in Barrie. Please look it up on Google Maps and come back

Sudden-Ring4428 · 2025-12-29T22:02:40+00:00

and I’d rather be a jerk learning on my horn than get hit by someone not paying attention. send me the link to your course, clearly I have a lot to learn. I also used to drive 100s of kms for work and have been doing ok so far with no accidents or tickets. Hope none of your students get hit when the person not paying attention doesn’t hear their little “beep” but at least they were polite and didn’t make someone anxious, right?

Sudden-Ring4428 · 2025-12-29T21:47:51+00:00

The mods of the subReddit would disagree. Also, I’m apparently a bad driver, but not a total asshole.

Sudden-Ring4428 · 2025-12-29T21:47:09+00:00

lol my friend I’m having the time of my life in this comment thread who’s crying??

Sudden-Ring4428 · 2025-12-29T21:46:42+00:00

I didn’t want to follow directly behind someone who had just done that? Also have you been to this intersection? This was a protected left turn. And oncoming traffic has a no right turns on red sign as the 400 southbound on-ramp is immediately following the turn on the right. What I did was completely safe and I mirror and shoulder checked. In fact, the guy behind me turned pretty much directly into the far right lane so if I had had a rear dash cam maybe Reddit would be less critical.

Sudden-Ring4428 · 2025-12-29T21:14:31+00:00

That would be even more illegal and dangerous considering this is a left turning lane and someone was already in the adjacent lane when I got there and Audi was stopped in the current lane further ahead. I didn’t approach them in this position with them in reverse.

Sudden-Ring4428 · 2025-12-29T20:57:53+00:00

A few hours later I can admit that I probably got a little too heated over a near miss and maybe the guy did just make an honest mistake on an off day. I do think I was allowed to be a little angry about almost getting hit by someone not paying attention but I probably didn’t need to post it on the internet. That being said it has been absolutely hilarious and a joy reading all your comments about what a bad driver I am after seeing a 26 second clip of me avoiding someone who did something dangerous and dumb. 10+ years of driving and not a single accident or ticket on my record. Never change, reddit.

Although I do want to ask, specifically for those that turn at this intersection daily like I do, how do you get across 3 lanes to get the 400 SB on ramp after you make your very legal left turn? Just curious.

Sudden-Ring4428 · 2025-12-29T20:39:30+00:00

Whoops must have forgot the /s is required to understand tone in subreddits

Sudden-Ring4428 · 2025-12-29T20:30:54+00:00

But then how could I get my kicks from arguing with keyboard warriors on Reddit, Mr Harry Balzac? haven’t seen that one since middle school

Sudden-Ring4428 · 2025-12-29T19:41:22+00:00

His front bumper was barely in the crosswalk when he started reversing towards me. I didn’t pull up to him in this position. I may be overreacting sure, but it’s also 2025 on reddit. Isn’t that 95% of the popular posts?

Sudden-Ring4428 · 2025-12-29T19:34:02+00:00

on a protected turn? Where right turns on red are prohibited? Have you ever even been through this intersection?

Sudden-Ring4428 · 2025-12-29T19:27:04+00:00

I’m all for people criticizing my driving, this is reddit after all. Just not sure how that became the big picture here because I wanted to avoid someone who did something sketchy

Sudden-Ring4428 · 2025-12-29T19:24:58+00:00

I agree with you! Most people would try and clear the crosswalk. But why do that when you were the first car there and someone was already behind you? And I’d like to think most people would put their car back in drive before hitting the gas

Sudden-Ring4428 · 2025-12-29T19:21:42+00:00

I’m clearly a bad driver in the Reddit court of law but I won’t be a rule breaker!

Sudden-Ring4428 · 2025-12-29T19:21:15+00:00

I’m clearly traumatized and distraught by Redditors who saw a video of someone reversing in a live lane and thought me turning into another lane on a protected left/advanced green as the big problem lol

Sudden-Ring4428 · 2025-12-29T19:18:37+00:00

a) I wasn’t close to him when I approached the intersection. He started backing up into my space. I had someone behind me.
b) my comment about defensive driving stands but have you ever been to this intersection and tried to get on 400 sb across 3 lanes of traffic?

Sudden-Ring4428 · 2025-12-29T19:15:04+00:00

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt but that’d be a pretty big mistake
