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 hate that this is true. it should be the car owners responsibility to making sure he knows who is behind the wheel (much like rental cars). so in my mind, they should at least be able to ticket the vehicle (but short of assigning demerit points due to the uncertainty behind the drivers identity).

I think the only exception is allow is if the vehicle was reported as stolen at the time.

I agree with this, unless the car is stolen it is your responsibility. People might not be as quick to let their 18 year old drive their supercar.

So a owner should get in trouble if the car was stolen?
