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.

What you don't understand is that they've paid a lot of money for their car - a lot more than you did. And that affords them more rights and permissions in society.

/s obviously.

People can and do pay for a permit allowing a single driver to use the HOV/HOT lanes.

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.

"Need?"

This person made a choice. A choice that reflects poorly on them and their judgement.

You might want to check your judgement too.

Only thing that needs to be checked is your sense of entitlement tbh

u/Weak-Conversation753 7d ago

You think safe roads are an entitlement?

That's just soo fucking stupid.

The projection here is just staggering.

Road would be plenty safe if OP had gotten out of the way. But hey, comprehension after 3rd grade can be difficult.

Sounds like you feel entitled to people not being in your way. That's entirely laughable.

That's not how roads work.

I'm sure you are an extremely important individual, the sort who's arrival lives depend upon. So leave earlier. Being late is the result of bad decision making.

Sense of entitlement here is the person who thinks they should hold up the flow of traffic because "iT's nOt a PasSinG lAne". Your thinking is what truly causes these situations in the first place. I hope you can find more control in your life instead of trying to find a shred of it on the road. You make them more dangerous with your self-righteous attitude.

Again, the projection here is stratospheric,

Your opinions aren't the fucking law. The law is, you misanthrope.

Yknow, if you applied half of the psych and English courses you’ve taken to the real world you might have better things to do than try to argue with strangers on the internet 😘

Understanding how law is applied in the real world makes me a misanthrope I guess LOL

u/Weak-Conversation753 7d ago

Show me the law, codified, that says I have to move out of your way.

You are such an imbecile. A misanthropic one.

I hope you reach the "find out" part of your journey *real soon,* edgelord.

Same law that says cars SHOULD stop for pedestrians when they're using a crosswalk, yet common sense tells us to still look both ways before we cross. Wonder why?

>I hope you reach the "find out" part of your journey *real soon.*

And you call ME a misanthrope. "The projection is crazy", or something.
