The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

How someone mistakes "cruise control" for "autopilot", after completing a Class A license requirement, is frankly beyond me.
Was it a mistake or just a dice roll that worked out the last few times they did it? You can get away with no steering input for a few seconds (if you assume that nothing in front of you requires you to change your path).

Oh, it was definitely a knowing choice.
 
Monday we drove to Woodstock along the 403 and saw traffic backing up on the westbound 403 in Brantford. I took the first exit I could and bypassed the problem. Coming back several hours later the westbound traffic was backed up several miles.

It turns out that a low flatbed trailer can't fit under a bridge if it has a big excavator on the deck. Bridge inspection etc.

Many years ago I had that problem and the MOT was able to do routing to avoid obstacles. Sometimes it made for a long drive. I also wonder if distractions come into play. The driver may have known the height and knew to watch for low bridges but got into a phone call and "Ooops"
 
Ignore the caption. If that happened it was minor. While obviously the two people driving fast are worthy of this thread, the interesting part for me is everybody else. Typical of GTA traffic, right lane is often empty, people are scattered all over the road and some people in the middle lane are going well below the speed limit. It's a complete cluster.

Because of this you can frequently do 100+ in the right lane on 401, between 427 and Dixie, while all the other lanes are 60-.

Obviously not a BMW.
 
Shhh, don't tell anyone. That's always been my lane. Everyone is in such a hurry to move over to the left lane that it is usually empty.
Just be careful of all the people who are coming all the way over from the left to exit at Dixie Road, at the last second ;)
 
Not Ontario. I'm in Costa Rica. A little bumper bash from cell phone use takes a long time to clear. The shoulderless roads makes for a huge traffic jam. Except for the bikes that split lanes. Even a minor one has Ambulancia show up. We have been stuck twice for an hour each time. You can smell the coolant in the 36 deg heat.
