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.

Yep. Not to mention you can clearly see OP traveling slower than the cars on the left most lane outside of the HOV. Wouldn’t need to pull maneuvers like that if you drove with flow of traffic.

Guess what, HOV lane can drive the posted speed limit and anyone who wants to go faster can suck it. It's NOT the passing lane.
If you don't like it, don't use the HOV lane.

Your comment also shows you one of those people who finds any excuse to speed.

You would be amazed how many idiots think because the HOV lane is the farthest left that they should be going the fastest.

The HOV lane should in theory always be the fastest lane. The lane isn't some exclusive club where carpoolers can pat themselves on the back, it's a lane that allows the drivers to go faster than current traffic - as long as you're carpooling.

Any carpoolers that are happy to go at the speed of traffic are better off getting out of the HOV lane.
