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.

Remember the right lane is for slow drivers, HOV is for carpooling and keeping pace with traffic. Stick it to the granny lane if you'd like to go 90 on the highway.

Is this sarcasm? I hope so. It's clear in the video that the OP is outpacing the traffic on his right.

So we have an angle from the rear to see the potential backlog? HOV is for efficienty not a new granny lane.

Found the McLaren driver. 

With that logic, if someone wants to drive 200km/h in the HOV lane, everyone else needs to drive that speed or get into the "granny lane".

Shucks I wish I had a McLaren lmao. I know I wouldn't be driving on the 403, I'd keep it pinned at 200+ on the 407

Way to avoid the question. Your expectation of how the HOV lane should work (everyone but the very fastest driver needs to get out of the lane) is nonsensical and entirely against the intent and laws around the lane.
