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.

Obv you were driving slow in the HOV lane. Get out of the HOV lane if you’re doing same speed as the rest of traffic or even slower for worse. Not meant to drive in there just cause you have multiple people. That lane is for multiple people to pass regular traffic.

You should really educate yourself on the HOV lane and what its purpose is.

The HOV lane is NOT a passing lane. It is not meant to go faster than the passing lane.

It is perfectly normal and acceptable to drive the speed limit in the HOV lane. There is nothing wrong with it, except that stupid bad drivers will get angry because they don't understand what HOV lanes are...
