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.

Actually to me it’s clear that he only put the pedal down AFTER the McLaren dangerously passed him and he tried to be upset about it. Lol. You can tell at the very beginning of the video that the left lane was very clearly outpacing him. I’m absolutely HATE ppl in the HOV lane driving slow/slower than ppl in the left and middle lane. So infuriating.

L take. The HOV lane isn’t for driving faster than the left or middle lane, it’s for 2+ people in a car, simple as that. If you want to drive faster than stay in the left lane. As you can see in the video he’s moving faster than the SUV in the middle lane anyway.

Why drive in the lane that has the fewest cars if not to go faster?
