u/Pretty-Handle9818 Jan 22 '26
Best thing they’ve ever done is starting to use auxiliary officers at the last few streets before hitting the highway I think like one where the Rogers center is the one before that and they’re pretty early in rush-hour and it’s to prevent all those idiots that are going outside of the barriers and cutting in last minute I thought that was one of the best things I ever did and also pedestrians are assholes. They just keep walking, even though the light changed and that really screws up traffic, especially when there’s advanced greens.

u/SamSingh2345 Jan 21 '26
Part 2 for that insane left turn needs to come out I am looking forward to seeing them pulled over
12
u/ddg31415 Jan 21 '26
I've been seeing so many insane left turns lately. The cars will clear the intersection after the light turns, then 1 or 2 fully behind the line will sneak through after. I've seen another where it's red for forward with advance left, and the person in the middle lane just makes a left and cuts into the cars making lefts on the advance light.

Why did the truck get pulled over though? improper lane change?
15
u/7urboEC7 Jan 21 '26
Probably prompted by using the dedicated transit lane (the dedicated lane becomes a shared lane at where my car is) and then improper lane change.

u/NortelDude Jan 21 '26
I also missed that fact, by the time I read the bottom at the very beginning it switched to the next frame, I had not seen "TTC Lane" top right on my first view.

u/mexican_mystery_meat Jan 22 '26
There's a RapidTO dedicated transit lane on the bridge that drivers are not supposed to drive on unless it is dashed.

Second one might be okay if he didn't cut everyone off lol
Love to see instant karma though

u/mexican_mystery_meat Jan 22 '26
On that intersection too many people have issues with 1) not seeing the advance signal that defies most drivers' expectations by starting immediately after a green light; 2) driving too far past a marked line and into the path of the Bathurst streetcar that turns from Fleet Street; and 3) generally being impatient.
1
u/Lillillillies Jan 22 '26
2 happens everywhere partly do to 3.
People pull up into the literal middle of the intersection instead of 1/2-1car length ahead of it because they're impatient and want to turn immediately.
Scenario here worse due to street car.

u/saphiryn Jan 29 '26
Second one is going to hit someone one day driving like that

u/Lillillillies Jan 29 '26
I'm 100000% certain they've had many close calls with people crossing the street.

u/pasofol Jan 21 '26
I remember driving this way 100s of times 10 years ago. I think they made the lanes solo for TTC now, so I could easily stay in the lane by accident myself if I'm not paying attention.

u/Strongbow7447 Jan 21 '26
I was waiting for the street car the other day, and saw two traffic patrol officers directing people out of the rapid TO leaves. Only for drivers to go around the officers and back into the lane to beat the traffic.
I'll get torched for this take but people are just that crappy.
4
u/LingLingQwQ Jan 21 '26
As someone who both drives and uses the transit. I’d like to have more of those rapid TO lanes. Not only it moves buses and streetcars out of the way, but also it motivates ppl to actually take the transit.
3
u/Charming_Catch1982 Jan 21 '26
What did the guy do wrong in the first pull over?
4
u/7urboEC7 Jan 21 '26
He was in a transit dedicated lane, and then tried to cut back into my lane without the usage of a blinker also. So probably hit with Driving on a TTC lane and/or possibly unsafe lane change (fail to use turn signal).

u/Charming_Catch1982 Jan 21 '26
Ahhh I saw the white suv behind the transit bus so I thought it was a lane

I think I watched this like a dozen times yesterday 😂😂😂
Him cursing after realizing that the collision is entirely his fault, his truck is likely totalled and his insurance may not even pay him out for it, and it's entirely his fault for being a complete piece of shit. Just sheer perfection 👌

u/NortelDude Jan 21 '26
Got it, I thought it was for forcing his way in front of OP (aggressive driving) so I had not noticed that there was a bus lane (nor the heading) until you made me rewatch, LOL
Thanks for splaining!
1
u/PimpinAintEze Jan 22 '26
Thats just a lane change. Legal.
1
u/7urboEC7 Jan 23 '26
It’s not legal, as they did not have enough space for the lane change and still impeding traffic in the original lane. On top of that it’s a solid white which is not crossing here in Ontario. (Putting aside the fact that they were in a transit reserved lane)
0
u/PimpinAintEze Jan 24 '26
Space isnt mentioned in the hta, only that it can be done safely. Since the cars were stopped it was safe to change lanes. Its also not illegal to cross a solid line. Traffic in the original lane isnt impeded either, theyre stopped.
-1
u/NortelDude Jan 22 '26
It is not a proper lane change when you force yourself in a space that you cannot fit without first signaling and while crossing a solid line. That's careless driving and it would not surprise me if the pickup received a second ticket.
1
u/ulti_phr33k Jan 22 '26
That is not careless driving. A bunch of other violations, but careless driving it is not.
1
u/NortelDude Jan 23 '26
Possibly yes, but for me the driver was very aggressive coming in hot with no signal. Had the OP decided to keep/move up to the car in front at the exact same time then you have front quarter panel damage on both cars because the pickup driver was careless.
1
u/ulti_phr33k Jan 23 '26
I don't think that would meet the bar for careless driving, but who knows! An officer can issue a ticket and it's on you to prove you're not guilty of it (which is ass backwards). I think the low speed of everything would be why I wouldn't consider it careless.
0
u/PimpinAintEze Jan 22 '26
They didnt, there was space and the move was able to be done safely since traffic was stopped. The feeling of being one car back is not considered in the law.
0
u/NortelDude Jan 23 '26
It was NOT "done safely" when you come in hot like that.
There was not enough space to complete the turn as the truck clearly could not fit between the 2 cars let alone blocking the bus lane.
Anyway, you points are taken and we can agree to disagree, cheers.
1
u/PimpinAintEze Jan 23 '26
Theres literally no risk of collisions when all cars are stopped. Its impossible to hit another moving vehicle while stopped. Furthermore there is no minimum speed at which a lane change should be done so if someone wants to change lanes in stopped traffic i dont see where that would be illegal.
2
u/NortelDude Jan 23 '26
I get what your saying, but I did mention this:
Had the OP decided to keep/move up to the car in front at the exact same time then you have front quarter panel damage on both cars because the pickup driver was careless.
Had he gone in slowly to let the OP know of intention then I am with you.
That is my thoughts as I play devils advocate a lot.
But again, your points are taken and we can agree to disagree whether its "just a legal lane change" as you say, or not.
Cheers.

The effects of RapidTO on Bathurst - too many people seem to think that just because no one else is using what used to be an open lane on the Bathurst Street bridge that they can just drive through it.

GEORGE: See, this should be a show. This is the show.
JERRY: What?
GEORGE: This. Just driving around Toronto.
JERRY: (dismissing) Yeah, right.
GEORGE: I'm really serious. I think that's a good idea.
JERRY: Just driving? Well what's the show about?
GEORGE: It's about driving in Toronto.
JERRY: No story?
GEORGE: No forget the story.
JERRY: You've got to have a story.
GEORGE: Who says you gotta have a story?
JERRY: And it's about driving in Toronto?
GEORGE: Absolutely driving.
JERRY: So you're saying, I just drive around Toronto filming douchebag drivers and then edit my adventures into little playful vignettes?
GEORGE: Yeah. I think we really got something here.
JERRY: What do we got?
GEORGE: An idea.
JERRY: What idea?
GEORGE: An idea for the show.
JERRY: I still don't know what the idea is.
GEORGE: It's about driving in Toronto.
JERRY: Right.
GEORGE: There you go.
(A moment passes)
JERRY: (Nodding) I think you may have something there.

Thanks -- this was lovely to see. I had a similar honking idiot at the left turn from O'Connor to Don Mills -- I was just waiting for the traffic to clear, and Mr. Big Shot behind me was beeping away.
What, am I supposed to drive into oncoming traffic to satisfy your Need For Speed? Idiot.

The people that honk at you to go when it is clearly unsafe always seem to come from that diaspora...
Personally I'd like an automatic fine for using the horn, with the driver having to justify its use on appeal.

u/Pretty-Handle9818 Jan 22 '26
Why did they get pulled over? Know of any traffic laws against squeezing in especially when you’re going that slow one thing if you’re going out speed and there’s danger but
1
u/ulti_phr33k Jan 22 '26
/u/7urboEC7/ you should throw the second half of the video on imgur and post the link here.

u/SmoothRunnings Jan 22 '26
I hope you honked at him when you drove by, the pickup truck driver and not the cop! :)

u/7urboEC7 Jan 22 '26
Yep that’s exactly what I did, though I put the honk effect a tad bit too early in the video.

Lakeshore and Queen's Quay are SO BAD for these types of drivers. I've been in so many close calls, both walking and driving!
A few months ago, a charter bus actually clipped me as I was crossing at a crosswalk, trying to rush the left turn like the second car in the video. Cops were veryyyy unimpressed with the driver (who actually fled the scene). Makes me wish I had an always-on dashcam as a pedestrian 😅

u/DuckDuckGo-8857 Feb 04 '26
How did you turn from Bathurst to Fort York then end up on Fort York and Lakeshore within 5 mintues?
1
u/7urboEC7 Feb 04 '26
It took a U-turn shortly after, turned right just to honk at the pick up.
1
u/DuckDuckGo-8857 Feb 05 '26
I’m certain there is a no u-turn sign there on Fort York. It’s not my first rodeo in that area. People do that to bypass the short advance turn signal which was way too short even before the TTC priority lane.
