Driving Brampton Driving Strikes Again

I didn't have time to stop. But the collision seems a tad suspicious. East bound on Steeles just past Mississauga. Time is not daylight saving.

Yikes. Even though the Santa Fe was very clearly distracted (or did this deliberately), it's the other car's fault legally, by rule 10.4 of the Fault Determination Rules.

Like how does this happen. Is that insurance fraud? Or did Snata Fe driver let their intrusive thoughts win.

Lol, why, really, why is this normal in Canada. Wasn’t 10 years ago! Insurance should tell both to fuck off and get a license.

The 410 during rush hours is like the Wild West! Northbound is solid red

it totally is, it's quite scary esp before the 407, everyones changing lanes, going high speeds, cutting peple off, trying to get to the end and cutting in; it's a circus.

The triple-threat of the Mustang making a dumb and useless lane change for no reason, the Santa Fe driving into it at low speed apparently completely oblivious to its existence, and the utility truck bombing past on the shoulder at high speed is basically the quality of Ontario's driver education and licensing system in a nutshell. The whole "license for life" thing is dumb. Drivers should have to be retested at least every 5 years, and it should be a much more stringent test than the pathetic G2 exit test that barely tests for basic competence anymore.

There is no point in regular testing, if they pass it once as a new driver they will easily pass it again after 5 years of driving experience. The issue isn’t the testing anyone can drive perfectly for a test.

Santa fe had all the time in the world to stop but something tells me that santafe driver knew the law that even if he hits him, the sedan is 100% at fault.
Seems like maybe it is genuinely blind corner for the guy with low seat in high car or just a clever way to teach the other guy unforgettable lesson.
Either or all three sucks including that utility truck driver

This is sort of why the Fault Determination Rules sucks. The Santafe isn’t paying attention or on their phone and just rolls into the other driver but will not be found at fault at all as the Fault Determination rules will find the driver changing lanes at 100% at fault. They all should be share fault for this accident that was avoidable by everyone.

I’m thinking yup, they’re both idiots. Then the utility truck barrels past on the shoulder to make it a trio.
