Is there a correlation between terrible driving and International students?

Is there a correlation between being an international student and driving like you’re in a street race? I honestly don’t know.

Today I saw someone who appeared to be a master’s student from one of the many reputable schools in the plazas. She absolutely floored the accelerator in her Charger and didn’t look the least bit fazed.

Maybe paying for a licence gave her a sense of entitlement. Or maybe she was just running late for one of the protests.

Side note: I have no idea what those protest songs are saying, but whoever picks the background music deserves a raise. Every protest video has absolute bangers playing in the background. Such a waste of good playlists.

Peel Police 👎👎👎👎

We blame other drivers in this city for driving like nuts but if the police are pulling this kinda crap, we can’t be blaming others. Ken Whillans Dr and Vodden St E. The cop passes the red car that was going straight from the bicycle lane and no lights on and he was clearly doing 80+ in a 50 zone (no speed limit signs posted in a residential neighbourhood is a 50 zone). Another picture in the comments.

Road Rage on 401

Two days ago I was driving on the 401 and around Whitby there is inevitable traffic. I signalled to move in front of a dark grey CRV and this man went ballistic.

He was bald and very angry, starting making sexual gestures and raced beside me to throw an entire coffee cup at my car. He continued to drive in front of me and slam on the breaks and even force me to make a full stop on the highway as you can see in this video.

At this point I was able to call 911 and the police have been very helpful but would like to share this because if you know this person, please be aware they suffer from extreme road rage.

The most concerning part to me is I am a woman, this was a man attacking a woman and if he feels confident enough to do this on the high in a vehicle, I am scared to think how he treats woman at home.

Mayfield Road - Handicap Parking

Just sitting in the car and moving around inside. What a douche.

Edit: No permit to clarify.

Driver Blocks Oncoming Traffic to Make an Illegal Left Turn (Steeles)

Happened today. This driver stopped in the middle of the road, blocked the oncoming lane, and waited there so they could force an illegal left turn. It was unbelievable to watch.

Visiting Brampton - How bad is it?

I originally stumbled on this sub from some bananas bad driving clip and subbed due to the sheer entertainment value of some of these clips. Entertaining, but also a huge headache for folks living there- you have my sympathy and I hope that more is done to improve the capability of drivers, enforcement etc. so that the roads are safer for you.

As it turns out I'll be in the GTA, with stops in Brampton/Vaughan/Richmond Hill areas in the fall for a work trip. I'm travelling from Calgary so I'm completely uninitiated. Will be driving a rental car, so I wanted to understand if day to day driving is something I should actually be worried about, or if these incidents (while possible) are somewhat remote.

Are stop signs optional now?and these U turns at signals ?

Lately more often - I’m finding people intentionally not stopping at stop signs. And taking these wild U Turns at signals.

I seen it before but it’s just really frequent now everywhere I go.

401/407 drivers

Why does nobody call out the drivers who cruise at 70-90 km/h on the highway. I won’t even get into them constantly brake checking so they can maintain their illegal speed. It causes traffic and at times accidents.

maybe this doesn’t fit the racism directed at Brampton but I’ve seen this across the GTA. They are a danger to themselves and everyone else.

BEWARE brake checker

This guy break checks me, then followed it up by accusing me of following his ass.

Btw he just came out of his house like 2 seconds ago.

Then accused me of speeding on the road like idk where did he got that info.

As soon I told him i got a dash cam he backed off.

Here I am with all my receipts.

INSERT - I turn now meme*

Watch the Corolla turn right regardless 2 huge freshly painted (They literally re-painted those this week) and a solid white line.

Not sure why people do this but it’s not worth saving a minute waiting on red.

He’s lucky the police was not there, they sure would have love that move.
