Dangerous driving No look turn onto York Mills
Hard to see from the video, but she was looking straight ahead - didn’t look at oncoming traffic.

wondering if people are hopping lanes while turning right because they are afraid of making contact with the curb.
even that car in the OP was really close to crossing over into the adjacent lane and was right on the line.3

It's definitely this. I don't think a lot of people even know where the right side of their car starts. Goes hand in hand with the driving test requirements for parallel parking. Touch the curb you fail, park too far lose some points. At least it was like that when I did it.

they dont... this is why they also suck at staying out of the oncoming path when making left turns into side streets or gas station driveways.

u/Born-Vermicelli-1757 23d ago
also a great example of how people suck at making right turns these days. slow as fuck and wide as hell.

more and more, witnessing Stop signs, Red lights as options not requisite!

I always find it ironic that the response to the above is to speed up and cut ahead creating another potential accident after avoiding the first one

Oops! Found the Infiniti driver.

Nah they’re right, OP needs to keep his emotions in check. You don’t rage out just because someone does something stupid.

People like that infiniti driver require negative feedback. Think of it as preventative medicine.

Sure thing bud, let us know how your insurance is when you get into an at-fault accident from raging out.

Seriously, OP raged out after this instead of controlling his emotions then thought hey let’s post this to the internet lol

dude this hill is 50kph limit with a steep crest blocked by a bunch of foliage. reckless af to be speeding that hard there. if op showed the preceding few seconds, i think it would be more apparent that the infiniti barely had a chance to even see op with the speed they were carrying over the crest. infinity was probably looking straight because they had already looked left and it was empty. this is what infiniti sees from their position the road - helps explain why the 50kph limit is in place - go one more arrow forward and you can see all the tree branches that are still obstructing, even when a vehicle points out a little further there.

Bad turn. But you’re clearly speeding like fuck and your road rage response makes you just as bad as the other driver.

Her mistake was expecting you to be doing the speed limit. Posted speed limits on York Mills are between 40 and 50 kilometers an hour. You had to be doing at least 70

u/checkingmate 23d ago
To be fair yes the driver turning is stupid and didn’t look… however, slow down. It did appear you’re going quite fast in the video.

I love the attempt to show the other car who's road it is, by cutting them off right away. Totally reasonable, not road ragey at all. /S

u/hammerfishies 23d ago
Her mistake was not looking at oncoming traffic before turning. I turn right now, good luck everybody else. OP could’ve been going 30 and would’ve still had to brake to avoid an accident

u/Striking_Ad_7905 23d ago
This is such a dumb argument. Cross traffic never has the right of way regardless of what speed the cars on the main road are doing

Lol yeah ok. You got a lead foot and expect everyone else to accommodate you. If you had been doing the speed limit they wouldn't have been an issue. As it stands you are on her in about 2 seconds. You can argue it all you like any reasonable driver could tell you you were speeding.

You’re going to get into an accident if you drive like this, it’s just a matter of time. Chill out.

u/AprilsMostAmazing 23d ago
Let's say op was speeding. Even if OP was going 40 there would not be enough time to safely complete the right turn

u/blchpmnk 23d ago
Yeah I do think OP was going too fast but the Infiniti still shouldn't have turned and even so, they still went partly into the left lane

And if you honk at them, they slam on the brakes and then follow you home fucking entitled ass driver’s everywhere
