I was shy..
Don't ever be a doormat for these people
They wouldn’t care. If you don’t care to follow the law and not cause accidents you won’t care if someone honks
Or ram your car. He'll be in the wrong, and you get a free car.
Better by shy than rude and hurtful. Keep up the good work. 🫡
It's okay to be rude back to rude people sometimes
That's down to personal morality. For me, it's not ok to be rude even to rude people. From my experience kindness improves the situation far more than being rude would.
You must not be from Windsor Ontario to begin with! The old saying “kill em with kindness” doesn’t work in this city. Gotta be blunt as hell or nothings gonna change… hard truth
I'm relatively new here, sure. But I'd like to think I've only learned to become kinder from the people of Windsor.
Just happened today on Howard and Tecumseh. I was shocked at the lack of attention of these drivers. Luckily it was easy to spot as I entered the intersection.
I'm not shocked at all. It's an everyday occurrence. Windsor drivers are awful
I drive daily and this is the first time I've seen someone go straight on a red plus turn.
This is something I see at minimum twice a week. I used to be confident in my driving skills in this city but the last 3-4 years I've had more close calls with dumb drivers than I have in the last 20yrs on the road here and im left way more concerned about others taking me out
Lately GTA drivers are far, far scarier. Like there are no more rules on the northern 401/403.
As someone grown up in the gta. Lived there for 28 years, and frequent the gta on a monthly basis, from my experiance I can tell you I feel much safer on those roads than I do in windsor.
I used to drive the the 401/403/QEW, downtown TO, downtown mississauga, downtownHamilton.
Drivers here are complete morons compared to the gta.
I feel like the people that complain bout GTA driving and how "scary" it is just comes from a lack of experiance and being trapped in this "windsor bubble" y'all are afraid of leaving.
lack of experiance and being trapped in this "windsor bubble" y'all are afraid of leaving.
I'm not from Windsor, and I haven't been here for long. I've driven for a decade in multiple countries, some of which had traffic "suggestions" more than laws. Chaotic and "morons" is not what makes driving scary. It's aggressive drivers that do that.
I travel back and forth between here and the GTA a few times a year. The closer I get to the GTA, the more instances of people weaving between traffic aggressively. I'm talking about being in the middle lane, want to go right for an exit, only for someone to overtake me from the right then weave to the left lane when the left lane was already empty.
You're supposed to turn into the same lane you're in... You went into the other lane as you turned.. .Maybe, don't?
this should be the top comment.
it drives me crazy how many people do this, along with right turns into the left lane.
That's what you took from this?
That's what I wanted to say to OP, yes. I can't talk to the other driver in the video, now can I...
OP throwing shade as he slides to the outside lane...
Behold, the joy of dashcams, making people too caught up in "Oh! I'm gunna get so many likes for this!" rather than just focusing on driving.
I mean thays not really a major thing a lot of people do it
It is a major thing. People in this city are just too stupid to understand why you shouldn't do it.
Bingo!
I know a lot of people do it, usually about three or four idiots do it when I'm trying to turn right every goddamn morning i go to work.
Doesn’t make it right, lots to be learned from the video and the main thing is make sure you’re right before you post a video of you being an asshole too.
You seriously equating running a red light to not indicating and merging into an empty lane?
Yes I am, you downplaying it is substantially worse. You make it sound like the guy ran the red light at full speed. He was going 10km-15kmh very minimal risk (although not smart). Like I said they’re both shitty mistakes. Just ones worse cause he posted a video of himself doing something stupid so he can bash someone else.
Naaa, just cause this driver was going slow into that green turn signal doesn't mean others do as well.
I drive fast at the head of a turn signal. Quicker I go, the more people behind me can make it. If it was me in this situation, I'd have had to slam the brakes.
It was incredibly dangerous, as running reds often are.
The guy running the red light (which I agree is dangerous) was going 10-15.
But the more I watch the video the camera guy appears to be driving too fast for conditions of the road (raining and the driver accelerates heavily while turning after the other drivers clear I would consider that borderline road rage) and they also don’t signal when changing to the outside lane ( you can hear the original signal but he doesn’t signal again to switch from the inside lane to the outside) seems pretty dangerous too.
No, dude. There's small things that can possibly lead to accidents, yeah.
And then there's running a damn red light. What that truck did was incredibly dangerous. They were lucky this driver didn't accelerate fast into the turn, which is their right.
Well we can agree to disagree I suppose. But there was more than one unsafe driver dude.
Lol it's not an asshole move if your not cutting anyone off it's not proper at worst
Lol it's not an asshole move if your not cutting anyone off it's not proper at worst
turning into the outside lane like that is complacency, caused by someone who has consistently done this without any repercussions. I’m not saying I’m not guilty of the same but I don’t post videos of someone making a mistake while I’m making one myself and pass judgement on them. I just cuss and swear at them alone in. The confines of my truck.
Not a major thing doesn’t make it right. Lots of shitting driving in this video.
They fucking shouldn't! And that's no fucking excuse. Turn in the correct fucking lane or you could hit some else whose following the rules of the fucking road. Don't fucking apologize for dumbshit behaviour. Holy bloody-assed Christ, why are you like this?
Uneducated, selfishness, zero f*cks given, complacency. Likely one of those.
Just like the two before you, eh? A lot of people do it.
Lots of people litter all the time too. Should we all just abandon garbage cans?
Tons (TONS) of people have magical STOP sign blinders too. They just don't see them. I guess we should all ignore them too? I mean, it's so common, practically everyone does it.
Very major thing.
OP driver shaming as they turn into thr wrong lane. Welcome to Windsor.
You turned into the wrong lane. Check yourself before you wreck yourself
not 2 but 3
I watched a city bus do this exact thing...
Terrifying
If your referring to turning all the way to the outside lane, that is proper practice for commercial vehicles. It's in the driver handbook for commercial trucks/bus.
If you're referring to the early red-light run like those 2 vehicles did in this video...then yes I agree.
Yeah, just straight thru when the advanced green went.
Lightweights... Try driving in Brampton. Want to see terrible drivers?
Oh I hear you, driving in the GTA is a whole ‘nother ball game. Drivers are very aggressive. Same goes for Michigan.
Black pickup truck.Always a pickup truck. Every traffic accident involves at least one pickup truck. Inbred redneck uneducated dickless boneheads with an inferiority complex.
It's not even rednecks anymore that's such an old stereotype unless it's like a ford ranger or something. Pickups are just the new luxury SUV
As an emergency responder, that responds to MVCs, I can assure you that your statement is incredibly false. It
Ive been to more mvc's that usually involve sedans and minivans, not pick up trucks.
I live on Howard and I hear horns going crazy to the point it's road rage every day.
Great BGM
I've starting to think about getting a dash camera, I think it's well worth the money.
I definitely have more sympathy for the second car than the first. You don't expect the car in front of you to go through a red light!
Zero sympathy for car #2. They are even worse than car #1.
They are only paying attention to the vehicle in front of them. Not the lights, or their surroundings.
Complacency at its finest. True windsorite driver fashion.
I had to scroll way too far in this comment section to see this. It's entirely possible the second car couldn't even see the traffic light in front of the pickup truck. It's the pickup truck's fault. The cars at the front of the line of traffic at a red light (whether turning or going straight) have a responsibility to be the most attentive.
What a stupid response.
The 2nd vehicle back has just as much responsibility to be attentive to their surroundings as the first vehicle.
100% they do. However, at least with the second car it's somewhat understandable if we think of human nature. If you're at a light, and you can't see the traffic light, and the car in front of you goes, some people might go on reaction. Looking at this situation from the Internet and behind the wheel are two different things. Not sure my response was "stupid", but I probably should've clarified I think both drivers are still in the wrong here.
If one couldn't see the traffic light because of the vehicle infront of them, then they are following/stopping too close to the vehicle in front. There's still no excuse.
Yes perhaps my accusation of your response being "stupid" was harsh and uncalled for. I will apologize for that but will leave my comment up for the purpose of not leaving "deleted" responses in the thread, and taking ownership of my poor choice of words.
No big deal lol I've received worse responses! But you're right there's no excuse for both drivers.
Nice wide turn btw. Can be equally as dangerous. Sorry.
So you turn into the wrong lane too. Windsor drivers are damn terrible. You’re bitching but if a guy on a motorcycle turning right you would have kill him. You’re a terrible driver dude.
Should have laid down on the horn the second he came into the intersection & till the other idiot left it, People are ignorant & think they’re untouchable, driving through reds, on phones, passing in turning lanes, honestly it’s getting more dangerous from these inconsiderate self centred immature people! It’s funny I just changed my insurance company & am using a app that records your speed smoothness & attention to your driving from Bel Air Direct, it’s made me realize that there’s always room for improvement & motivation to drive better & safer. Making me responsible for driving style I now am saving myself $100 monthly! Thing is maybe if everyone’s driving habits would reflect on their insurance coverage cost! Then maybe people would smarten up, not speed, tailgate, hard unnecessary braking or recklessly endanger or breaking the law,…. Just an ideal!
They should mandate those apps to catch folks consciously violating the rules of the road, especially serious infractions such as depicted in the video. Insurance rates would plummet, taxes reduced,police resources wasted on prevention measures could be redirected into avenues that increase the safety and protection of us all, not to mention the number of unnecessary car accidents that occur bc folks just have no respect for the people affected by their lack of care and concern for others. To me its a win win.
1st available lane and you are commenting on other drivers?
You can’t seriously be comparing turning into the far lane to running a SOLID red
Wait, wait, wait just a second... There are drivers in Windsor that know you're supposed to turn into the first legal lane, and THEN move to the other lane? After turning on their blinker? Wonders never cease.
Ironically, doing it the “proper” way is likely to get you rear ended when the person behind you gets into the middle/far lane and speeds up, not expecting you to change lanes into their path.
Very true! And that's why I always check my blind spot and over my shoulder before changing lanes. Gotta watch out for those people :)
Yes, they seriously can. If you're doing the correct thing, and someone else isn't, people can die/ get injured/ have their finances ruined.
LEARN HOW TO DRIVE.
Like most people, I've committed both of these infractions. They were stopped, not running it like you imply. Which is very dangerous.
Nobody died, if they are gonna complain about other people driving, they really shouldn't do something else in a video they posted.
Do we need a sub for bad drivers? This is the 3rd one on here today?
Stopped until they ran through the red? You’ve gone through a red light when the opposing side has an advanced green? Why are you telling on yourself?
A competent driver is constantly assessing the situation, OP saw nobody was intending to turn right and therefore both lanes were safe to turn into.
They absolutely ran the red light. And doing so from a stopped position is even more dangerous.
I drive fast when I'm leading a turn signal to make sure as many people behind me can make it. In this situation, I'd have had to break hard.
This is absolutely true, but no where near the same level of stupid.
Ah you got me there, but that doesn’t invalidate this situation.
I'm just being a dick. People are shitty drivers everywhere. I've just had enough Reddit today. Glad to see you were paying attention and didn't hurt your car, self or pooch.
I appreciate that.
This is true.
To OP, you should have turned into the inside lane, then merged right when if still safe (which it seemed to be), you're asking for a side swipe collision doing what you just did. You seem to be Part of the problem
This is far too common and when I switch lanes properly they almost rear end me.
You’re absolutely right, I should’ve turned to the inside lane. I only did it because I was leading and it appeared safe, but obviously it is better to be vigilant.
Dash cam driver has the advanced green. oncoming two vehicles were blowing through their red.
It was never like this before. This has been a noticeable change.
must still be handing out licenses from the bottom of cereal boxes😭
When that happens I follow them and have a talk… I don’t put up with this shit. They are going to kill a family just to save like what 1 minute 🤦🏻♂️
That’s normal lol
Wow you got two inbreds back to back , nice score 💯💯 You don’t see that everyday lol
Are you ok? My God; what a story. ... And you recorded it too!!!
You're my fucking hero. ... Way to turn into the wrong lane. FFS.
3 in one - two idiots running the red and you turning into the wrong lane. Calling out mistakes WHILE making your own, Windsor driving in a nutshell.
What is that song? Haha
Wife - (G)I-DLE
This constitutes stunt driving. If you can make out the plates file reports.
This exact same thing happened to me in lasalle this morning on Malden and Normandy, 2 cars went straight thru the advanced green and solid red.
i dont get it (i have been in the store to the left to get new frames for my glasses)
Great to see new drivers out learning how to drive. Sooner or later they will figure out the turning arrow isn’t for them!!
On Saturday, someone turned in front of me onto the EC Ramp on Walker Rd during a greenlight. I honked, they didn't even stop.
Windsor drivers are extremely reckless. Worse than a lot of the GTA.
Yeah, beginning to see a lot of these kinds of red light runners. No one seem to pay attention when they drive anymore. I am very cautious as pedestrian now a day. You just never know and can never assume that the driver is alert.
