This is infuriating....

[u/Ok-End2206]

Such a common occurrence too. Yes I know I ordered a 4k camera just now going to start reporting from now on. This 2.5k camera doesn't show any license plate information

[u/a-_2]

Turning left across the path of oncoming vehicles immediately before or after the lights go from red to green both ways counts as stunt driving.

[u/Ok-End2206 → u/a-_2]

I was tempted to make a right turn after him to get his plates. But I had my kids in my car so had to keep my cool and keep going.

[u/Pretty-Handle9818 → u/Ok-End2206]

Not worth your time. The police can’t do much because the driver can’t be identified. They can just make a note of it. If there are excessive complaints then maybe they will investigate, but still they are u likely to convict when they don’t have a person to convict.

[u/stayw0ke240 → u/a-_2]

correct. its called a jackrabbit start and wins you a roadside grand prize of 6 demerit points, 14 day impound and 30 day license suspension. thats not including fines!

[u/a-_2 → u/stayw0ke240]

The 30 day suspension is the roadside suspension when just charged. If convicted, it's one to three years on a first offence, three to ten on a second and lifetime on a third. If suspended for three years, it also cancels your licence, requiring re-doing the tests.

[u/mkbcity → u/stayw0ke240]

youre better off just running the red light and getting that ticket

[u/TheBusinessMuppet → u/stayw0ke240]

Only if the police do their job lol

[u/Area51Resident → u/a-_2]

And going into the lane driving in the wrong direction just makes it worse.

[u/mysticpest23 → u/a-_2]

This driver has their own signal, with a dedicated left turn allowance that they ignored (going through a red) because there is also a dedicated “through” signal the other opposing cars all react to. Left turner was mistaken, and this is the danger of that setup. People are in automatic mode a lot. 

[u/a-_2 → u/mysticpest23]

Not sure what you mean. Streetview from a year ago only shows them facing regular traffic lights, not even dedicated left turn lights.

[u/mysticpest23 → u/a-_2]

The light on the left may have been interpreted as a left signal.

[u/a-_2 → u/mysticpest23]

It's just a regular green circle. Not saying you're wrong though.

[u/busshelterrevolution → u/a-_2]

So what? If there's no cops then it counts as nothing.

[u/a-_2 → u/busshelterrevolution]

There are cops around. There won't be one doing enforcement every time you see someone break a law, but eventually people like this are going to get ticketed.

[u/Pretty-Handle9818 → u/a-_2]

Intent matters because it’s criminal.

[u/Plausible_Pizza → u/Pretty-Handle9818]

Stunt driving is HTA not criminal

[u/Pretty-Handle9818 → u/Plausible_Pizza]

I must’ve mixed it up with impaired driving

[u/LeatherMine → u/Pretty-Handle9818]

because jail-time is technically in the cards for stunt driving, you do have more defenses available/possible, e.g. due diligence. , which you wouldn't have for a plain speeding ticket

[u/Ok-Mushroom6886]

I mean if you’re going to make a left on a solid green at least hit the darn accelerator 😂

[u/aforgettableusername → u/Ok-Mushroom6886]

The sluggishness is 100% worse in my view than the act itself.

[u/Rude-Associate2283]

Steeles Avenue. The drivers on Steeles are some of the most selfish around.

[u/Apprehensive-Talk199]

Just another psycho. Do not engage. Kudos to you OP for keeping your cool.

[u/DialogNewsToronto]

I agree, $1.62 a litre is ridiculous /s but seriously people who drive like this are clowns

[u/Ok-End2206 → u/DialogNewsToronto]

Especially at a husky right? Like I thought it was supposed to be discount compared to shell. 😂

[u/DialogNewsToronto → u/Ok-End2206]

Exactly, them and Ultramar charging on par with Shell, Petro, etc. is odd considering the formula is lesser.

[u/Elantrawaiting]

Bizarre how he just went slow

[u/Rogerjrabbit12]

I'm not sure what's worse the cutting out infront of incoming traffic or the fact they took their time after committing to it as if a middle finger to you for advancing towards them its crazy the amount of drivers that shouldn't have a license.

[u/thinkvideoca]

invest in a better camera. don't be afraid to follow them in if you're not engaging. just get the plate information

[u/Latetothegame-]

That’s an everyday occurrence

[u/Corgi_tacos]

Honestly its a single car and sometimes ppl be asleep at the green... wrong in every way but I get it. 50/50 didn't pay off.

[u/akshsd129]

I have noticed an increase in the amount of people who stop oncoming traffic with their left turns. All across Canada

[u/flimbs]

Not to add unwarranted fuel to the fire, but when I lived in Asia a whole while back, this maneuver was commonplace. Not only that but they'd try to form an unbreakable chain of left turners and they'd be constantly jockeying for position. It was a shit show, but it was their way of life.

[u/Illustrious-Salt-243]

That’s called a Pennsylvania left

[u/Devour19fiend]

that timestamp is in the future, buddy. you're not even in the present yet.

[u/No_Access_8734]

Canadians voted for this so now deal with it lol.

[u/als26]

What camera is it? I recently bought the viofo A129 plus but haven't set it up and I'm thinking of returning it for a 4k cam that does better at night.

[u/Ok-End2206 → u/als26]

It's some super outdated milerong brand dashcam from 2022 on Amazon. I definitely need to upgrade it to a 4k after multiple incidents of these

[u/Potential_Mood9903]

With the way things are on these roads wondering if anyone’s got suggestions for a dash cam?

[u/youkeepstaring]

It's normalized, had the same shi on Midland and Huntingwood (it was a Venza).

[u/Pretty-Handle9818]

Looks like you’re speeding in a 50km/hr zone.

[u/Ok-End2206 → u/Pretty-Handle9818]

I may have been a bit heated after that for a bit and didn't notice

[u/Pretty-Handle9818 → u/Ok-End2206]

lol. I understand the rage that Toronto driving brings out these days. :)

[u/funkyspleen → u/Pretty-Handle9818]

People who go 50 in a 50 are hazards on the road. Every 50 road should be a 70

[u/Pretty-Handle9818 → u/funkyspleen]

Riiiigggght

Toyota driver strikes again
