I was driving down the highway 400 at a steady 110 km/h in the HOV lane with my family in the car when this Chevy SUV came up behind me and began aggressively tailgating. Instead of waiting for a proper opening, the driver decided to illegally cross the solid double lines into the regular traffic lanes to pass me on the right. As they pulled up alongside us, both the driver and the passenger leaned out to flip me and my family off before the driver immediately cut back over the solid lines right in front of my vehicle.

This entire maneuver was completely illegal and entirely unnecessary. In Ontario, crossing the solid lines of an HOV lane is a traffic violation that carries heavy fines and demerit points. The HOV lane is meant to encourage high-occupancy travel and maintain steady traffic flow, not to serve as a personal speeding lane where aggressive drivers and their passengers can bully others who are already moving at a reasonable highway speed.

Looking at the footage, the regular highway lanes are completely empty. What exactly was I doing wrong here? If they wanted to speed, why not just use the wide-open regular lanes instead of aggressively tailgating and forcing their way through the HOV lane?
