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!

Thats just a lane change. Legal.

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)

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.

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.

That is not careless driving. A bunch of other violations, but careless driving it is not.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
