The DVP
- Thread starter TdotMurderer
- Start date
Yes. Because everyone on it drives like a middle aged Asian woman with bad eyesight and a need for speed.
Agreed! I drive it everyday (Company vehicle) and I must see a bike a day have another car/truck try to change lanes into them.
I do sometimes ride it late at night on a DVP 400 series loop as I must admit I find a thrill in having to be "On" just to survive it.
Trying to spot the drunk driver, the idiot in a POS cage they think is a "tuner" and wants to race a bike, the soccer mom on her cell phone, all of whom seem to be on a team out to get you and only you!
There is a thrill to it, different than a high speed set of sweepers or a tight technical road but a thrill none the less.
But during the day...............pffffft.I am not fracken crazy enough.

It's not a horrible ride. I ride daily, 6:45am which is great - get on at Eglington, and try to out of downtown by 3:30pm. In the summer its a lot lighter. Ya, you gotta be on.
In the years I've ridden only had a couple of incidence. Two Hondas, one I kicked the door as it was sliding over, the other was in stop go, lady actually hits my leg as we tried to occupy the same lane. Panel van coming into my lane and me escaping on the shoulder. None of the drivers were old or Asian.

I go to UofT everyday and have to ride through the dvp at 3pm and 9:30pm.
As long as you're always moving and not beside a cage, it's not too bad.
From time to time though, you get an Accord, Civic, Mazda 3 or some SUV trying to race you on your bike. Some of them give you the finger for no reason too.
It's the people trying to squeeze into your lane on Bloor that I ****ing hate.

i rode the dvp north the other day and right after i looked back at the driver that kept stopping 2 feet from my bumper (stop and go traffic) he passed me in my own lane. He is lucky as i was certain he was asking me to relocate his passenger side mirror to the road. Why else would he do that? He passed by me too quickly for me to perform the relocation for him.

Personally i have had the worst experience with Asian women. They wont move from the passing lane and wouldn't speed up either.......The worst part is when they are occupying all lanes travelling at the same pace.

Its not just asian women, it applies to women in general... Plus they like to drive slow blocking traffic on the hwy. But guys on the other hand, the ignorant ones, they are the opposite of women. They are the aggressive jerks that would race u and speed past you.

+1 I totally agree. Drivers do not value a fellow human's life, and I don't need the thrill of cheating death. Daily. Hats off to those crazies here that commute on the DVP.
its really not that bad...maybe im on at the wrong times...but as long as your scanning, you see this ***** coming.
its no deathtrap as long as you pay attention. amirite?
No big deal ... just the driving equivalent of a long shuffling Timmy's line-up.

i ride the dvp on my ninja 250r, i had close calls with side swipers and jerks who want to race me (like i don't see the point in beating a 250...lol), but like djbordie said: just scan and hazards can be avoidable most of the time.
Use the express lane for Go Bus's.
