That was really frightening, how can you not look to see what is going on around you.

Reminds me of two different cars/trucks I have seen in the past few weeks that had no brake lights at all. At least the guy I saw in the pick up truck the other day must have known because he would put on his hazard lights when slowing down, but still just get it fixed for pete's sake. I seem to see way too many of these unsafe cars on the road.

If the highway speed is travelling @ 130 km/h... I don't think we can blaim the person if he gets to at least 100 km/h by the time he gets to the end of the onramp.

As long as the person reaches roughly 100 (give or take 5)... that should be decent. Besides.. you guys shouldn't be driving @ 130 km/h in the slow lane.. let alone expect everybody to accelerate to that speed to merge in. Thankfully this never happens.

-tailgating

-i think the biggest problem is with people merging into the highway. They go 40 down the on-ramp, and when it comes time to speed up and merge they take their time and i end up having to merge with traffic at like 80 because the car in front of me is still accelerating. I mean if you can't drive on the highway why get on it?... it makes it dangerous for other drivers behind you and thats why accidents happen.

Do you guys see this alot on the road ? whats your opinion on it....

Without doubt, Toronto drivers are the absolute worst. They are, for the majority, ill mannered, technically inept, and as far as the rules of the road are concened, irretrievably stupid. Only Boston drivers compare for truly awful driving.

What this city needs is 10,000 French Canadians for a weekend. That'd sort out the '3 middle lane' problem on the 401. There would be death and mayhem or three correct lanes of traffic.

Opp has started a new blitz for speeding on the highway(401). Saw this on the news...
Anyone over 100km will be given a speeding ticket. (even 105km as a lady was caught)
And the patrol has doubled.,
Heads up'

Yeah people are calling it a cash grab, they uped the cops from like 20 to 30 and they're going to pay for it like this.

Can't wait for when they buy a helicopter.

slow + stupid + inexperienced + big headed newbies who think they can drive + careless = accident

Some luxury cars have auto-dimming rear view and side mirrors thus highbeaming a newer generation BMW will do ****. I remember going north on Dufferin (past 407), this IS300 cut my cousin and my dad off (swerving), so my dad stepped on it, i-VTEC engine growled and highbeam his *** especially when he was making a left turn.
