Personally, I like to pretend that the passing lane is an oncoming lane, pass quick and move right as it would be appropriate in those circumstances.

Maybe, maybe not. With video at least the one who crashed doesn't catch a charge.
From what I understand, Hwys 11 & 17 up north are a real gamble when traveling. A lot of bad driving is blamed on Brampton truckers.

Heavy tow picks up a box truck by the rear bumper and proceeds to tow down highway. Bumper fails as expected by any person with a brain and truck crashes backwards over the median wall. That tow truck operator should have to start all training and licensing again. That level of ineptitude may be unsolvable.
Be careful about what you assume is the law.

If it was here he'd get out of one of our revolving door toy jails the same day and buy an e-bike.Be careful about what you assume is the law.

I’ll second that. When I’m running 11 thru the north, I’ll ride or drive behind transports when the sun is down.From what I understand, Hwys 11 & 17 up north are a real gamble when traveling. A lot of bad driving is blamed on Brampton truckers.

I’ve seen a lot of semis napping in the ditches of 11 over the years.
Sort of. We have a philosophy but not a clear law. The closest we have is "Slow vehicles to travel on right side
147 (1) Any vehicle travelling upon a roadway at less than the normal speed of traffic at that time and place shall, where practicable, be driven in the right-hand lane then available for traffic or as close as practicable to the right hand curb or edge of the roadway. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 147 (1)." or maybe "Unnecessary slow driving prohibited
132 (1) No motor vehicle shall be driven on a highway at such a slow rate of speed as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic thereon except when the slow rate of speed is necessary for safe operation having regard to all the circumstances. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 132 (1)."
Cop can be grumpy but if you are travelling at the speed limit, they don't have a lot to work with. Even if you are under the speed limit, you have a pretty good argument about that being the max allowable speed and you aren't that far under the maximum allowed.
GR86 driver going for a GTA (the game) high score. No charges announced yet but as a start, leaving the scene causing injury (maybe x2), attempted murder x2 (lady and cop), a pile of charges related to bumper cars with the cops, etc.

"Toronto police say a black sedan became involved in several collisions.
Two adult patients were transported to the hospital, Toronto paramedics say. One has serious but non-life-threatening injuries, while the other suffered minor injuries.
Police say the driver involved left the scene in an unknown direction.
Shortly after, officers were called to the area of Highway 27 and Albion Road, less than two kilometres away from the initial scene, following reports that a woman had been pushed out of a vehicle.
Police said they arrived and apprehended the driver. During the arrest, one officer was injured, and several police vehicles were damaged."

Two drivers caused a problem on the 401 years ago by doing exactly 100 KPH while side by side. They caused a traffic jam in doing so, were charged and IIRC convicted with obstructing traffic.
Governors on big rigs achieve the same result on a regular basis.
If they were the ones near port hope, that was a protest for one getting a ticket for 10 over shortly before. Cops can always be ***** no matter what you are doing.
Yowza...191km/h in a Charger...
Why is that surprising? Other than the Nissan micro or some vehicles with a 100mph limiter, what vehicle sold in the last decade cant get to almost 200?
I'm pretty sure my Volt couldn't reach that speed....not that I tried...
The opp police scanner alone is enough to keep this thread hopping. In the past 10 minutes there has been a tractor trailer from a driving school disabled in a live lane on the highway and it has no working hazard lights, a sidewalk plow in lane 2 on the 401 going very slowly, a pickup disabled in a live lane and refusing a tow and a car on the qew in the left lane with its hazards on, furniture on roof and doors flapping in the breeze.
What scanner do you use?
