The Right way to merge onto a highway...

Well, you're clearly in his blindspot. Why shouldn't he just merge across 3 lanes?
While @sudz is not being defensive and landed in the blindspot. Driver of Charger clearly demonstrate lack of ability to conduct the lane change safely, which forced sudz to swerve.Quote:

Also, He continued to weave lanes until we split at QEW/403@ brant. I called the cops. He also did not react at ALL to my honk or my flashing highbeams.
How did you want him to react to your flashing and honking? Hold up a sign saying he's sorry?
He merged, maybe didn't check, maybe you were in his blind spot. Maybe he merged to the middle lane so that he doesn't have to have people merge onto the highway infront of him later on.
You can't be serious? How long have you been driving and do you know what proper driving is in the first place? ...Seriously.Quote:

Crossing more then one lane at a time is a definite idiotic move, especially when merging, unless you are 100% sure the way is clear. It doesn't matter if Sudz was eventually in his blind spot, the idiot should have looked over his shoulder or better yet, should have known sudz was there before he even changed lanes. If he had used proper methods of 'scanning' for 'proper situational awareness' a close call would have never happened...One of my pet peeves is how most morons on the road have no clue about proper merging or how dangerous it is too change multiple lanes on the highway.

I knew I shouldn't have cleared my ignore list. You must have slipped through the filter....
BTW I was being sarcastic :)Quote:

Cops were called as I strongly believed he was drunk and it was 3am on a Friday night.
Back to posting videos all.
obviously the other guys fault.
but drive/ride like the other person is going to make the wrong decision or move and it will save you from being in possible accident situations.
Wasted sarcasm is wastedQuote:

I love how the cop that he passes is just standing there watching and doing nothing.
LOL this type of thing is frequent along Richmond St West and Spadina. Its pretty hilarious

Not exactly a dashcam, it was mounted on the front bumper. However that is me in the Speed3 being followed by an M235i on the Tail of the Dragon:

That looks like a lot of fun. Was that on stock tires?Quote:

I was down there for the annual Deal's Gap Rotary Rally (a primarily RX-7 meet) but I'm unwilling to drive my 7 the 1400km's each way, so every year I bring the 3.Quote:

The goggles got me lol.

Was taken over a year ago at morningside and ellesmere. Excuse my language but that damn taxi should have not done that u-turn... We should have a crazy driver thread going :p

Sooo,
Ive had Defy Media (break.com) reach out to me and offer me 2 offers for a video I posted, anyone deal with this before?
Option 1 was $100 upfront for the video and they own,
Option 2 - $50 upfront, and 50/50% split on ad revenue (Ive made almost nothing on it so far on youtube, as its under 300 views)..
I was going with option 2, but trying to see if anyone has done this before, Ive only found 2 similar threads on reddit.
take a gamble on option 2.
That's still 50 bucks more than you had before even if no one watches it.
Thats my thought exactly, its a box of diapers...Quote:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that U-turn looks legal and the taxi has the ROW? This is why you have to pay attention and never assume anything.Quote:
