The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread
- Thread starter Boots
- Start date
Sorry, just saw this now after I got back from the Greater Transportation Agony for a Christmas/New Year's Celebration.
I'm not sure when exactly slower traffic keep right, and driving in the lane appropriate for your speed (much like riding in the appropriate gear), went out of fashion, but that seems to be the case. Do driving schools not teach driving in the appropriate lane, or do many people save a couple of bucks by failing part of the test and never changing their driving habits? Or maybe they just don't give demerits for driving in the left lane anymore on the test?
In any case I'm more about driving in the proper lane, than passing on the left. I do pass on the right, but I do so quickly, since people driving in the wrong lane have shown that they have at least one poor driving skill; maybe not checking their blindspots is another?
Then again I have pulled across five lanes of traffic, passed the five vehicles all driving the same speed, and then pulled back across the five lanes to the right lane, since there was no traffic for half a kilometre ahead.
As far as rural area, I grew up in the Beach, and moved to Bloor West Village when I bought my first house, commuting to downtown on a daily basis. But that was back when signs were in miles and not kilometres.
For the last five years I've been up near Ottawa, where people think they have traffic. But most of them are better at staying to the right. Maybe the exceptions are also former Torontonians, idk.
Anyways, I'd like to see people pass and then get over.
Not sure if fastar1 was joking with his comment, or if he has Gerstmann's Syndrome.
Finally, the drivers in the city used to manage to drive on the right and pass on the left, that's how my generation was taught, and it's only been in the past few decades that that has changed.

I don't know I think when a jp or a judge sees this footage they will tell you to take a walk. I do this kinda thing all the time and it kinda ****** me off watching you do it. Imagine what someone who waits at the back of the line will think when they watch this.

I'm just explaining the way people use the roads today. It's not unusual that the informal rules of the roads may have been different decades ago, because... change. But unless you drive a time machine, those lessons aren't going to be very useful to you on the roads today.
In fact if you insist on holding on to your own individual driving ethics in spite of what everyone else is doing on the roads we all share, you're only going to cause yourself unnecessary aggravation and stress. This is exemplified by your use of insults against myself and the whole GTA. Insults are a tool people typically use to resolve troubling questions that cause cognitive dissonance when they don't have a rational argument to support their different viewpoint. I mean it's all good and fine to have a different opinion if you have a reason for it, but if that reason is "everyone else is dumb and I'm smart" you're probably being dishonest with yourself.
A Golf driving erratically? Noooooooooooo.

You know... Cause a person travelling 110km/h in the left lane of the highway is much worse than someone going 0km/h walking around on a highway at night...
Though... 3 people in the car, 1 recording, nobody calling the cops? A cop would have likely been there within a minute or two if they heard someone is road raging and stopped in a live lane on the highway...
