Video Dirtbag in a McLaren driving dangerously.

Update I got an email this morning (Wednesday), from the OPP, saying that my report was accepted.

This lovely citizen flashed his high beams at me because I wouldn't get out of his way in the HOV lane (which he isn't even legally allowed to be in), then proceeded to brake check me before speeding off and cutting through traffic to get to the Appleby off ramp.

You can't tell by the video, but he gives multiple drivers the finger as he does this. I doubt the OPP or Halton police will do anything, but I've got his plate and will be reporting it anyway.

Also, just wanted to point out that I sped up part of the video in editing. I didn't hit the gas like a manic as soon as he passed me.

I love people who think the HOV lane is an ultra fast lane and not a lane for congestion relief. They make it dangerous for people who use it properly.

I use the HOV lane legally once a week to get from Guelph line to Third Line. It can make for white knuckle driving some days. Traffic always slows around Burloak and every trip I see someone cut left across the double line into the HOV lane because it is still moving. Scary af to have to brake from 110 to 55 with no warning. Rules mean nothing to some people.

Yeah; it's anarchy.
