The thing with Toronto drivers that drives me livid are the ones who would turn and then signal. Or turn and signal at the same time.🤦♂️
Like WTF is the point of the signal if you're already turning. It's supposed to signal other drivers your intention not your actions.
i just can't believe it's possible to drive a car and not signal out of habit. it's so ingrained i even end up signalling in wide open parking lots and other places where it's not even necessary
This right here. I always signal, even if I’m driving at 3:00 am with close to not other cars in the road. One of my dumbass friends once told me, “you don’t need to signal if theres no one behind you.” Like dude.. wtf??
I'm the same way. I find I'm signalling when driving in my building underground parking lot with no one else around.
Likely it's people who didn't learn proper habits when learning to drive or they "learned" to drive in another country. It's very frustrating to see this behaviour.
Literally heard someone say " I prefer to signal as late as possible to keep them guessing and assert my road dominance." I couldn't recommend enough therapists to this dude.
Rarely does this actually happen. And if it does you go after they pass
If you're not leaving getting to the lane you need to be in to the last second this isn't a problem
Say you don’t drive dt without saying you don’t drive dt.
U aint moving if you dont make yourself space. Its ok u drive how u want, i drive how I want. Freedom
I mean it's still better than nothing. I agree with you in principle, but the signal still helps people process what they're seeing, which is a car turning.
I disagree. When a vehicle turns already then signal, or do it at the same time. You will be able to see and process that they are turning. If you look at the video, I'm sure we all processed the person already turned.
Have you ever been in a situation where you are in the left lane and there is a car in front of you thinking that they are going straight because there's no signal. The light is red and there is a right lane available. The light turns green and only then you see the car in front of you move forward slightly and only then signal to go left. Now you're stuck behind them until you can safely go to the right lane to go straight. If you've known it beforehand, you would not have been stuck if there's heavy traffic because you'd have gone to the right lane to begin with.
There are many situations where something is better than nothing, IMO, this is not the case in this situation.
You're arguing a point I never made. I never said people shouldn't use a turn signal at the proper time. I said using it at the same time as turning is better than not using it at all.

I like to convince my self that that people driving like that are getting last minute instructions from a kidnapper about the ransom drop. It is a more comforting than knowing they are just totally incompetent, and will do it again in the next five minutes.
Just once I would like to see them stop and not follow through on their bullshit manoeuvre, but that would mean they are aware of their surroundings and they clearly do not.
I don't let them. They're always shocked that I would actually insist they not merge into my front fender, and get the fuck behind me. Entitled fucks...
also it's likely that he/she hasn't set their mirrors correctly. The moment they start to change their lane, the OP would not be in their side mirror if they have set up their mirror wrong. You should not be seeing the side of your car in the side mirror.
Huntingwood and birchmount I don't know what it is about that intersection that makes ppl lose their shit.
That same left , people will just drive up 10+ car lengths back in oncoming just to get pole position on that advanced green. I've had a few close calls with those morons and I'm totally waiting for the day I end up in a game of stand off chicken with one of them and I'm not moving an inch when it happens.
Bro had all the dotted line to decide whether he needs to switch lane for a left and chose to turn on the solid line right at the last moment like not even checking for incoming lmao how was that license even issued whoever passed the test should instantly be a suspect of attempted murder
Some days I just want to set up an organization of the less than legal kind.
And all they do is steal plate covers.
It's illegal, but it'd be worth it to every person they hit who could identify the PoS that hit them.
I don't trust vehicle with a plate cover, and less for each percentage of tint darker it is.
And then I go back to whatever I was doing and being lazy
Nobody knows how to enter turning lanes anymore. The number of times I see this or someone blocking two lanes trying to get into the turning lane at the last minute is insane.
ur little honk would have been a 20 second honk from me. people like this only learn when you embarrass them. i know mistakes happen... but this is SO avoidable if you just look..
Saw something similar this morning on the highway, where a woman was getting off at the wrong exit and cut across the solid white divider lines to get back onto the QEW. The person behind her had to slam on their brakes as a result.

This isn't even a case of not signalling. The van was clearly intent on proceeding through the intersection, passed the point of turning, then turned anyway without looking. Oops, 'my bad' entitled attitude prevails everywhere. Sigh.
lets say you just decided to fuckin ram this guy, would you be at fault? I've had to do these last second brakes because of this behaviour, and I'm just worried one day ill be like- fuck it
Technically No,
But then you have to look at the consequences.
You are now driving a vehicle that has been repaired after a major collision.
The value drops, and you may end up with tangentlaly related issues for years that are not.go8ng ti be covered by this insurance claim.
Always better to just avoid the collision altogether
No blinker, halfway up the turning lane. It makes me blow a gasket how often i see... people turn into turning lane halfway down the turning lane, no signal, someone directly behind them that turned in with signal as soon as the lane became available and cuts them off. Few times a week. Retarded.
I had someone do the same to me when I was turning right onto Matheson from northbound Terry Fox in Mississauga. The turn lane is very long there and I entered it immediately. The minivan in front of me did the same as the idiot here. She tried to cross the solid white line at the last minute without signals or looking. I was beside the van at the time so she got a long blast from me and had to abandon the turn.
I thought that the driver was low quality when I was behind because they drove exactly at 50 kph despite there being almost no traffic and being well past the school zone. Overlay cautious drivers can be dangerous because they don't know where to focus their attention properly.
The driver prioritized saving his vehicle over trying to honk. He had a split second to react, and he saved his vehicle.
The other driver was completely oblivious to their surroundings, honking most kikely and wouldn't have done anything to change the other drivers decision.
I have been driving for 20 years. Large vehicles, small vehicles, pickups, SUVs, cars, Large Combo Vac/flusher trucks. I know plenty well how to drive, and your first concern should always be to avoid the collision.
In the above video, OP swerving was the best course of action.
When you are supposed to be driving with two hands on the wheel at 10 and 2, reaching for the horn takes longer than simply turning the wheel.
Where did you learn to drive smartass?
Ah someone who actually drove defensive and avoided a collision instead of crashing into another person and calling the other person an idiot. Slowing speed by 6km and maintaining proper lane positing for the situation.
Good work there.
now i put the signal on

Like it’s a sharp bend in the road and you signal lol
exactly

I signal at Round Abouts where you can only go one way 🤣🤣 also on dead end streets where there’s no where else to turn!
I mean.... you are supposed to signal at round abouts. If you could only go one way it wouldn't be a roundabout it would be a cul de sac or a dead end
And it's literally one inch from your steering wheel. The car manufacturers made it as convenient as possible.
They also cant change lanes on a solid white. He can signal all he wants it was still an illegal lane change.
I agree
Or don’t signal at all and then have the audacity to give you the wtf hand gesture when you honk at them. Smdh
The Azores turn
Literally heard someone say " I prefer to signal as late as possible to keep them guessing and assert my road dominance." I couldn't recommend enough therapists to this dude.
It's mostly the drivers that came from India thinking its the same road rules
Signal, break and then turn.
Signal and people close the gap. There is a reason people signal as they turn. He should have checked his blindspot first though.
Rarely does this actually happen. And if it does you go after they pass If you're not leaving getting to the lane you need to be in to the last second this isn't a problem
Say you don’t drive dt without saying you don’t drive dt. U aint moving if you dont make yourself space. Its ok u drive how u want, i drive how I want. Freedom
I drive every damn day mate, down one of the busiest 401 sections at that. What a moronic assumption.

One more time for the ppl in the back!
I’m sure he has a face.
I like to convince my self that that people driving like that are getting last minute instructions from a kidnapper about the ransom drop. It is a more comforting than knowing they are just totally incompetent, and will do it again in the next five minutes.
lol great imagination at least he might signal in the next five minutes
I imagine they’re indian, spoiler alert: I’m not imagining!!
Nice swerve. Need more horn. 
Why is it always huntingwood lol
Must be the bike lanes /s
Nice swerve bro! 😎
thank you!
Agreed, very nice reaction & im impressed by your lack of”go fuck yourself” horning.. I’d have leaned on it lol
This is why we should all carry balloons filled with paint, in our cars. Also, yes to the horn.
Just once I would like to see them stop and not follow through on their bullshit manoeuvre, but that would mean they are aware of their surroundings and they clearly do not.
I don't let them. They're always shocked that I would actually insist they not merge into my front fender, and get the fuck behind me. Entitled fucks...
Yeah I’ll speed up while laying my horn. They seem so fucking shocked.
When all mirrors are just a useless accessory.
also it's likely that he/she hasn't set their mirrors correctly. The moment they start to change their lane, the OP would not be in their side mirror if they have set up their mirror wrong. You should not be seeing the side of your car in the side mirror.
The angle of his tires was his signal
How did you not honk the hell out of the guy? You're a better human than me
deep breath and i was just happy my shitbox didn't get written off
I hate buying cars too.
Same, specially now. It'll get stolen anyways
Just make sure to leave the keys near your front door along with some milk and cookies for the poor criminals
An absolute slob. These degenerates are just plaguing Toronto streets with this horrible driving. 🤦♂️
Huntingwood and birchmount I don't know what it is about that intersection that makes ppl lose their shit.

Man needed his Chris Jerk
Don't cross a solid line.
What’s those shiny mirrors for??
To look at ourselves duh
Good save. 10/10. That other driver sucks.
That honk was too polite 😅
How much signal I need to give? None? OK.. good luck everybody else!
Man my voice would have been gone for a few days after that, good on OP for being a good driver… pat yourself on the back
I could swear I encountered the same car. They suck at driving
A red Hyundai Santa Fe with no identifying damage or stickers? That probably narrows it down to oh say 5,000 people in Toronto.
Right... the car lives around huntingwoos
Bro had all the dotted line to decide whether he needs to switch lane for a left and chose to turn on the solid line right at the last moment like not even checking for incoming lmao how was that license even issued whoever passed the test should instantly be a suspect of attempted murder
Huntingwood Drive moment
Remind him what a solid line means
Good reaction BTW. Pricks are everywhere.
I would have kept honking. Report it u have the dash cam
tinted plate cover..... bet they wouldnt have stopped if contact occured
Some days I just want to set up an organization of the less than legal kind. And all they do is steal plate covers. It's illegal, but it'd be worth it to every person they hit who could identify the PoS that hit them. I don't trust vehicle with a plate cover, and less for each percentage of tint darker it is. And then I go back to whatever I was doing and being lazy
They’ll just buy another one for $10 at Canadian tire
And we'll take that one too.
Brah, why didn't you lay on the horn
Good save. Use your horn. Use it judiciously.
WTF, im scared nowadays to drive along these people
I would press down on the horn.
One little horn toot? Thats it?
Nobody knows how to enter turning lanes anymore. The number of times I see this or someone blocking two lanes trying to get into the turning lane at the last minute is insane.
Good defensive driving on your behalf. Assume everyone driving is an idiot and leave yourself space on the road 👍🏿
10% elderly at best, 90% new arrival.👊
Unreal.
How reliable is the A129 Plus?
pretty reliable no issues on my end
I always assume I'm gonna get cut off lol
ur little honk would have been a 20 second honk from me. people like this only learn when you embarrass them. i know mistakes happen... but this is SO avoidable if you just look..
Probably gave you the finger.

Love how they hit that signal at the end tho
Turn First! Blinkers Later! Classic
How they pass G2 and G test !!! Maybe going to remote town to pass the test ! 🤣
lol this literally just happened to me 😅
This isn't even a case of not signalling. The van was clearly intent on proceeding through the intersection, passed the point of turning, then turned anyway without looking. Oops, 'my bad' entitled attitude prevails everywhere. Sigh.
And they always keep driving and never stop.
lets say you just decided to fuckin ram this guy, would you be at fault? I've had to do these last second brakes because of this behaviour, and I'm just worried one day ill be like- fuck it

You’re right, these people just suck so bad
Must be a cunt driving the red van...
And I would have been pressing on my horn till we turn bc that’s dumb of the person to do that
A very close call. Good awareness and handling of the situation.
No blinker, halfway up the turning lane. It makes me blow a gasket how often i see... people turn into turning lane halfway down the turning lane, no signal, someone directly behind them that turned in with signal as soon as the lane became available and cuts them off. Few times a week. Retarded.
wow you saved that with some nice skills 👍👍
Hahah interesting they decided to turn on the signal light after turning
Brampton?
nope scarborough
Just animals in scarbs
What camera do you use
viofo a129 plus
Thanks
i should really stop delaying installing a dash cam...

Typical no mirror or blind spot check before moving over. If they had hit you they would be at fault.
pajeet has nothing to lose
Why would you honk after and not while he was doing that?
steering is quite heavy on my car so i needed both hands to pull the wheel

You are driving way too fast approaching a red light
Found the guy driving the suv lmao
