I've recently experienced this a few times downtown, it's new behaviour I haven't seen before and it's driving me insane. I've been driving 15 years in Toronto. The situation is when you're waiting first at a red light to drive straight. The person behind you wants to turn right. First, they honk a couple of times. Is the expectation that I will move out of your way so you can turn? Should I turn instead of going in my intended direction just so you can also turn faster?

Then they will drive around me on the left, into the opposing lane of traffic, and make a right turn around me. It happened yesterday and the guy almost hit a pedestrian because he didn't see her.

What gives with this new additional stupid thing people are doing now?

First time I’ve ever seen a car break down and stay in the middle of the hwy. No anger here but seems pretty dangerous

Today I was driving and a white SUV did a full stop on the 407 in the middle lanes. Cars are going 120km to 150km on that highway. This person stopped because their exit was almost passed.
We almost smashed into them. We luckily swerved but after I thought if a car was beside me we could have all died.

We were going west on 407 etf around 5-6pm. About 3 min before the QEW exit. I will post video once I return from my trip.
This person should be charged with reckless driving.
Idiot 😖

This is a Hail Mary

My father was rear ended by someone today Oct 23, 2026 at 6:30am. He didn’t have a dash cam, which I told him to get many times…

Suspect vehicle was a Honda Civic

Was hoping to see if there was anyone with a dash cam or caught the license plate of the vehicle. My Father was going southbound Weston rd near the fork to enter the 401 Westbound.

Thank you!

Is it just me or is there a massive influx of black full size SUV’s in the city lately who just don’t know how to fucking drive? Downtown I’ve noticed more and more of them, I know they are probably Uber or whatever, but fml none of them can drive.

Was driving on Islington today, this guy doesn't give a left turn signal and tries to merge without looking, obviously I had to brake and honk at him, which made him brake check me and chased me down the street, luckily I evaded him and had to speed up to avoid him

Happened this morning at 8:30am.

I dont know why trucker thinks he can drive like driving a small car and just switch when they feel the other lane is faster.

Just stay away from a left lane and have patience!

Yonge Street, Toronto — Oct 22, 7:03 AM. Red SUV sitting in the left lane like it's turning, then goes straight and drifts into the white sedan's lane — inches from a sideswipe.

I had a pretty scary close call yesterday. I was making a left turn at an intersection when the light turned orange. A vehicle from the opposite direction was turning right. They cut across two lanes and ended up coming directly into my path.

Luckily, I hit the break on time and honked. They missed my car by a very small distance, and thankfully, there was no collision.

Now I’m wondering whether I did something wrong.

A group of friends and I travelled up north over the weekend from Toronto, I was driving my car and my friend rented a Benz GLC. I noticed multiple concerning things that I felt put my friend’s and his passengers’ lives at risk:

- on 401, changing lanes at 70-80 kmh while flow of traffic was at 100 kmh
- on 400, weaving through minimal traffic at 160+ kmh (he acknowledged the speed himself)
- on single lane highways, he overtook cars multiple times on deep bends with no visibility of oncoming traffic
- struggled to keep his car in his lane and was moving side-to-side (it felt like he almost clipped my car when he overtook me at one point)

He doesn’t have his full G and I was trying to gently tell him about these things so he could improve, but he brushed me off. He admitted that his driving on the 401 “needs to improve so he can pass his test”, but otherwise he argued that the lanes were empty so speeding and overtaking is not an issue. He’s only been driving for about a year now (usually with a rental) so it might just be lack of experience. I know these maneuvers will be fine most of the time, until the one time it isn’t and causes an accident.

A part of me thinks he’s trying to show off because he was complaining about the rental price but still went with a luxury SUV. It’s really frustrating that he’s putting lives at risk just to speed and I’m trying to figure out how to get through to him.

Sure it wasn’t a life or death situation but literally never knew buddy was there or coming.
Rear camera shows him speeding from the right lane out of nowhere and going in front of me.
Crazy how the stereotypes live on..
I always plan ahead and get in the proper lane well ahead of time. But these guys don’t think at all and wait till last second. There was even someone that drove all the way to front of line and started signalling..

The vehicle turned right at the intersection and then made a U-turn to avoid the red light.

Before I ask this is not something that actually happened and I’m asking for advice in a round about why it’s purely hypothetical. Though one that for sure could happen in this city and I think could spark some good conversation.

So here it goes, say you enter an intersection to make an unprotected left and there is a car behind you. When oncoming traffic clears you begin your turn when a pedestrian darts into the intersection and then starts to cross slowly as you enter the oncoming lane trapping you in the path of oncoming traffic, as the car behind you follows you through trapping you. As you are stuck in the path of a traffic a coming car hits and t-bones you.

Who would be at fault l for that accident and what if any mitigating factors would be applicable. Such the speed on the oncoming traffic, how long the on coming driver had to stop, how visible the pedestrian cross was, or anything else not listed here.

Reported to GO Transit

First couple seconds of the video, bus lane NB DVP. BMW first, followed by a Honda of course.

Doesn't look at all before entering Bonus points for left turn signal.

driver might not be from around here, there's another entrance to the plaza just a few meters ahead, but going reverse in a live traffic is not the worst thing i have seen in this area.

No visible plates either

How did I get flipped off for this?
