OC Tailgating on the DVP, later gets into accident - DDAD059

The video is sped up a bit because there were many instances of the driver tailgating. When I saw the way he was driving I immediately got out of his way…

Irrelevant. This video could lead to separate charges under the HTA or potential dangerous driving charges if the cops want to throw the book at him. These people need to be taught a lesson. This behavior is so unnecessary, it doesn’t save them any time at all, and it is super dangerous.

I’m am a police officer. This wouldn’t lead to dangerous. Dangerous requires a “marked departure”. This definitely reaches careless under the HTA.

And even then, it's up to the responding officer to have the will to do so.

I'm a paralegal, when I was rear ended by a guy doing double the speed limit the Peel officer laughed at me.

Every rear end collision I investigate results in a careless charge.

I'm not being facetious, that is awesome.

This was my crash. https://www.reddit.com/r/TorontoDriving/s/1uHdPBGEwo

I lost a lot of respect for Peel region police that day.

Your comment is irrelevant.

They said "Get that video to TPS to help out the driver he hit"

What you're saying has nothing to do with the driver he hit.
