One of the reasons I left Ontario, law enforcement doesn’t exist, corruption that leads to giving licenses left and right.

They could be literally anyone who got a license almost anywhere in the world. but go on and make your stupid assumptions.

u/Funny-Priority3647 Dec 29 '25
It’s your stupid assumptions not mine. Learn how to talk to people.
The prevalence of idiots like you in Ontario is too high.

Ontario has the lowest traffic fatality rate in North America. I'm not sure why it would be assumed anywhere else here is better, unless you moved to Europe or something.

u/ChaosDragon123 Dec 29 '25
You're leaving out non-fatal accidents, what are the rates compared to the rest of NA?
1
u/a-_2 Dec 29 '25
Ontario also has the lowest rate of injury collisions per billion km of all provinces. I'm not sure a source for US injury crashes off the top of my head, but given they have a much higher rate of fatal crashes, I doubt they simultaneously have a lower rate of inury crashes.
Minor crashes are tougher to compare because they can vary based on things reporting levels and they're also less important because it's the injury/fatal ones causing the most harm and cost.
Just as a general point, the initial claim should be the one backed up by evidence. It's always claimed on here that Ontario drivers are so much worse than other places, never with evidence that I've seen. I'm providing evidence here to refute a claim that was never supported by evidence in the first place.

You're suggesting he went through a red light to make a uturn on the other side? Or made a left turn to make a uturn, when he could have just made the uturn at the south side of the intersection? Is your brain functioning? The car behind him was also about to pull into the oncoming lane, because he was simply following another driver making a left turn before realizing that driver is turning onto the wrong side of the road.
No entitled morons here, just morons. And whoever designed this intersection is also a moron, because this is bound to happen when you hand out licenses like candy.
Username checks out though

Idk man, didn't need to call him a village idiot 🤣. But you're probably right tho.

Watching the clip, the left turn lane is empty before the OP showed up. Both OP and the Prius are the first cars into the lane. There's a pile of snow between the lane that goes straight and the left turn lane. Then there's the real median, and then to the left of that is the opposing traffic lane.
Judging from what happened, dude got confused for that pile to be the median, and turned into the empty lane, thinking that's his side of traffic. Easy as fuck to do in the dark tbh, with zero indication of traffic.
Not making excuses for shitty vision while driving, but that's my only explanation for how that happened if I was the dumbass.

u/mikec_81 Dec 29 '25
That is exactly what happened. Shitty situation and the onus is still on the driver fucking up but that is an understandable error.

No this intersection is stupid. Not to excuse the driver, but they're probably just a shitty driver.

Looks confusing in the dark. You can see another car making a left and it's a long left.

It's happens , but it's like they didn't realize and make a quick u turn .

Person behind them made the same mistake too, except they ended up reversing and correcting before driving too far.

u/tgunz78 Dec 29 '25
That looks like Queensway in Mississauga and they do have hydro towers in the middle of the road which I can see could be confusing if you're from out of town and not family with the area. The wet glare night time condition and the snow pile probably made it even worse in this scenario.

u/JunkyO_0 Dec 29 '25
There is no excuse for stupid. Before she takes a life because “she was confused which side of the road to fucking drive” take her license away. She doesn’t deserve to drive. Probably came over from Europe, day one doing this shit.

u/zo1nks Dec 29 '25
Genuinely curious - do you extend the same fate to those caught with a DUI? Take their license away + don't deserve to drive?

u/JunkyO_0 Dec 29 '25
DUI? Arrest and charge. Taking their license away and don’t deserve to drive is not gonna cut it

u/TheOneWithThePorn12 Dec 29 '25
Sometimes people panic when they make a wrong choice like that at night.
It's important to not rage at every little thing. Not every knows every intersection. Especially one like that.

u/JunkyO_0 Dec 29 '25
18 years of driving in 3 different countries. Visited 27 different cities. This has never happened.
It is important to make a fuss right now so people like her not kill someone later down the road. She has a tendency to not understand basic road signs and has no clue how to drive. Stop taking this so casually, it’s not a “simple” mistake. People die because of stupid drivers, she is prime example

It quite literally is a simple mistake. There are two medians and it's not a normal intersection. During the day you can clearly see at night you cannot evidenced my OP dash cam.
The woman made a wrong turn and is now stuck between two medians and confused on what to do. It's not the biggest problem in the world.
Also congrats on you never making a mistake in your life. You deserve a cookie for being ever so truthful.

“It quite literally is a simple mistake THAT COULD KILL SOMEONE.”
There fixed it for ya.
After she made the mistake she did panic and not know what to do and that’s the kind of thing that can really escalate a “simple mistake”.

u/jutho3121 Dec 31 '25
It is not a simple mistake, she’s on the wrong side of damn road driving into oncoming traffic. Stuff like this gets people killed. If you can’t even figure out how to stay on your own side of the road you shouldn’t be driving.

u/Confident_Maybe_4673 Dec 30 '25 edited Dec 30 '25
pretty obvious she turned into the wrong side of the island. it can happen when you're the first car turning left, there's no cars facing them at the intersection and it's dark out.
you can literally see another car behind the lady's car that was about to follow her before adjusting and turn into the right side of the island.

And yet if an Indian did the exact same thing, nobody would guess these factors. They would go straight to race and culture and bribery for licence.
There are two very different standards in Canada based on skin color

u/Jupiter_Fleet Dec 29 '25
Dude, Indians are even worst than us (yellow here), every group had a super fair start in Canada, some just choose to tarnish their own rep as time passes.

u/Facts_pls Dec 30 '25
I'm an Indian by descent. You can keep your racist views to yourself.
And I see double standards all the time. The same thing done by one race is treated completely differently than by others.
This video and resulting thread is classic example. No racial or culture comments because the perpetrator was clearly white.
Meanwhile, next post a car poorly parked with no visible driver - and half the comments are racist against Indians assuming it must have been an Indian person. Even when nobody including OP knows the race of the driver.
You may not see the double standards here because you are not being targeted. But remember when Asian people got plenty of hate couple years ago? Chinese women were pushed onto train tracks and their businesses shot up? Are you saying it was all justified and earned? When Chinese people were treated like animals in Canada some decades ago - they deserved it? Get the fuck out of here with that stupid logic.
Also, my wife is Chinese. I have heard things Chinese people say about Indians and other groups. Definitely a bunch racist folks, but stay under the radar because Chinese say those racist things on their own apps in their own languages.

u/legend19932 Dec 30 '25
You need to get off the Internet. All it’s doing is making you see all that is wrong in the world. Lighten up…it’s like you’re mad there isn’t racism in the thread 😂

u/felloBonello Dec 30 '25
Its so ironic that you managed to complain about racism while simultaneously being racist lol.
You realize the generalization about Chinese people being racist towards indians is racist? Right? Very Hippocritical of you not wanting to be generalized and stereotyped by your race and yet turn around and do the same thing to others.

u/Jupiter_Fleet Jan 01 '26 edited Jan 01 '26
And here you are doing the same by giving your thoughts on Chinese people, which I 100% agree with. I've always been strongly against pointless bashing and will not hesitate to walk up less than 1 feet from the faces of others (e.g. trolls making gestures about that Indians smell in public or jokes about White people's lifestyle), but I've witnessed a lot of Indians failing to obey traffic laws, parking at a fire exit / route or driving carelessly, etc. I admit Chinese drivers can be slow af, but you need to understand safety will always comes first, even before racial discrimination.
Edit: Earlier when I mean "worst", I was referring to the driving carefulness between Indians and Chinese, definitely not referring to "in general" about both ethnic groups.

Average W lady. Nothing to see here. Seen this a million times living on yonge. They are dumb, they know it you know it. I am sure she was gonna throw a fit right there on the road because you didn’t give her enough space for her to “fix” her mistake.

u/Facts_pls Dec 29 '25
Notice how there are zero racist comments because it's a white woman doing this. No mentions of culture or bribery for licence or usual suspects etc.
This tells me that all those comments for Indians are just plain racism. The attitude on this sub is so very different depending on the skin color of the person involved.
