This guy is making a U-turn while in a blind turn. How stupid you have to be to do this i mean seriously. Imagine another rider coming from the other side. He/She would have panicked and would have either swerved into my lane or into his stupid cage. Big ****** bag.


This is why I am very careful when hitting twisties as you never know what is on the other side. Leave that for the track :)

Good thing I had my gopro. Here is the video (skip to 1:45 if you don't want to watch the full thing)

Outrages that somebody thinks that's ok and too lazy to find a better spot. I had that happen to me yesterday and mentioned it in the bad drivers thread. What I find particularly unnerving is the look they give you when you stare them down. It's a zoo out there, @ Applebee Line, nice.
 
You can't fix stupid.
 
Amazing. A car driving in the middle of the road just down from a blind turn and crest. And right behind it, a motorcycle riding in the middle of the road too!

And I had a coworker try and tell me getting your license in Canada is too hard and should be easier LOL

This is everything that's wrong with the state of our drivers here in Ontario - the requirements are basically down to "pulse and a crayon", and people still think it's too hard.

If you can't pass our laughably easy G level licensing in this province you shouldn't be allowed to operate a bicycle, much less a car. Heck, some people with full drivers licences should still not be allowed to even ride a bicycle...case in point here.

What's even scarier? I got my class AZ commercial licence 20 years ago and I laughed about how stupidly easy it was back then...and it certainly hasn't got any harder. Couple that with all the "driver mills" who are churning out barely educated and only marginally ready "students" who manage to muddle their way through the (again, laughably easy) class A road test...and it's of no surprise to me whatsoever that truck accidents are on the rise in the GTA.
 
FWIW, at 1:32, I would've stopped behind the jelly bean suv pulling to the right until I was sure they're not gonna pull a u-turn in front of me.
 
Had the same thing happen to me on Ridge road, by the waterfalls (blind sweeper).
I was going through the sweeper and just as I reached apex, I see a kid in civic starting a u-turn at the end of the curve. I had nowhere to go and had to brake hard while in a nice lean... It was the stupidest place for a u-turn, and close call for me too. Cannot ever relax on these roads :)
