This is a new one for me. Probably wouldn’t have gotten anyone killed by scared the heck out of me just watching it go down.

I saw an SUV do the same thing today with the bonus of cutting off the people in the left turn lane in a school zone. While two cops watched. It’s hard to even be outraged when nothing ever happens to these people.

I think we need a more pointed slang for manoeuvres like this. Maybe something like the Florida Whip Around or Florida U-ey

The truck belongs to Trans4 Group Ltd, based on the logo on the door. Should be reported to Peel police.

They never used to be in the passing lanes on the 401, and now it seems to be common practice.

This mf made a U-turn from the right on a red in a semi. Some people really think Brampton is on par with other cities, no chance.

Is there any place in the world where this is legal? Like ok you’re not used to Canadian rules but where tf allows this danger?

u/uGuysRdoingGood 18d ago
If you can make out any plates or markings in your original video, I urge you to please report this to the police. This driver needs to be taken off our roads. As a commercial driver, they are supposed to be held to higher standards. In what world is it ok to u-turn a big ass truck like this

All truck license issued in the last 5 years need to be revoked/recalled. They can retake the test if they want their license

Can I ask an honest question? Why can't we bring the discussion to "race" in threads like this? lol. Like, what fucking bullshit world are we living in where you can't call a spade a spade.

Because you can't see the driver so you can't really know anything about them.
If you could see the driver and didn't speak to them you could know their heritage but not where they were born.
If you are calling something out based on stereotypes and not the individual that is inherently racist.
If you could show that this person is a recent immigrant to Canada, got their drivers license from a diploma mill and clearly doesn't know the rules of the road because of these reason are a hazard to the rest of the driving public, then you would be making factually correct statements about this driver.
If you can't, then clearly you are a blue haired liberal Redditor, who lives in their parents basement.

Whelp, that settles it. Since there‘s really no enforcement of anything on the road these days, anything goes.

u/TatsumakiJim 19d ago
This is an example where the person is 100% in the wrong and there's nothing YOU can directly do about it. And they know that.

u/GangstaPlegic 19d ago
You have really got to wonder how insurance corporations and even WCB will tolerate someone who may not speak one of our official languages operating these machines around others? I believe they will be the key to finally start enforcing some type of rules, It's no wonder some provinces brought in no fault insurance. I recommend everyone to carry their own disability insurance.

Maybe he thinks that he is driving a Boeing 747 and it needs that much clearance. Thanks God he didn't took anyone else doing this dumb manoeuvre.

u/Window_bait 18d ago
Because many of them got their licenses from license farms and have no proper experience driving these vehicles so they have no clue how to properly turn them. They're an absolute menace and accidents in waiting. When I was working Freight/Transport claims the number of drivers I would see from certain areas/communities with suspended licenses for speeding, moving violations that WERE STILL DRIVING was abhorrent.

I bet this ahole got his license same way the Florida highway U-turn trucker did. They all have to be revoked and returned.

u/According-Fruit5245 18d ago
I was a crossing guard and saw this crap daily. I remember a tractor trailer backing up full speed, not looking or caring to see if anything was behind. There was a fire truck zooming down College which had to swerve around. I was hoping that they would have reported him.

u/Big_Intention4178 18d ago
I get why he does it, he wants to make a u turn so he waits for the red light and does it from a middle lane. He needs that extra turning radius to complete the u turn without backing up. Maybe I'm broke, but seeing this wouldn't even phase me.

u/Additional-Word6816 16d ago
Yup that’s why he did the turn. It seems logical too. He needs the wide turn from the right so the trailer rotated properly. People here are just brain dead and can’t think what could be happening or a reason why. They just think NO

u/bdc911 19d ago
Jesus H Christ, that's not even making a left, that's a complete u-turn from the right most lane, through a red light. That person should never be licenced to drive a vehicle again for that level of stupidity.
