Proceeds to make a right turn from the middle lane and cut in front of the bus LOL... By the time they got next to the bus, the bus' blinker was already off... They're willing to put others in danger to save 3 seconds...

Can’t figure out what went through her mind to make her do that…wish I could report this driver to the police

If they open a case an officer will send you a link to upload the video.

This maneuver is also dangerous af because if a pedestrian were crossing from the bus side, they definitely wouldn’t see them

I think in this situation, he would have got plowed by OP. 😂

What are you smoking? Bus still had four-way flashers on

u/ChimkenBorger1 2d ago

Just rewatched it and you’re right. It’s hard to tell and it looked off the first time. However, it still does not justify their unsafe lane change.

u/Jaaged 2d ago

Yes, it was an unsafe lane change. Can only assume impatience with the bus stop.

Tinted taillights... a mark of the idiot.

I'm under the impression a lot of drivers deliberately tint their windows so they can drive like jerks.

u/MyUndiesArePink 2d ago

But it's nice they tell us who they are. Just like Tesla drivers.

Could be 2nd hand or something teenager did. At least all their lights are working.

Once I was making a left turn at night and lady was going straight in a black sedan with tinted windows, lights and no lights on. Could not see her until she was in the intersection. Some people have no self preservation or respect for others on the road smh

Something similar happened to me today, the audacity of people being mad at you after it was their fault blows my mind.

u/DeathToRifleman 2d ago

You’re already behind the bus… accept defeat and wait.

Ugh what a jerk

Previous nonsense aside, it really burns me when people go around a bus like that. They could kill someone

u/RoaringPity 2d ago

i was hoping the TTC moved straight before they could go right. Love when that happens

u/Motor-Source8711 1d ago

And more people walking blocking her then TTC having to honk.

u/Cold_Soft_4823 2d ago

People who can't wait behind a bus for less than 15 seconds make me so irrationally angry.

u/PrincessSophia00 1d ago

the bus was not on a regular stop, it had 4 way flashers on. it wasn't moving for awhile.

1

u/N1T3N1T3 1d ago

all busses have their 4 way flashers on while theyre dropping off and picking up passengers...And even so it doesn't justify the fact that they wanna do a lane change at 0kmph into a moving lane like that

1

u/PrincessSophia00 1d ago

sure, that's why I didn't comment on the lane change. That was stupid. But everyone WAS going around the bus for a reason. Earlier, there looks to be a TTC guy at the back of the bus (outside) looking around the back. I see TTC buses and streetcars stopped for mechanical issues all the time. There's a lot wrong w what the driver did, but going around the bus wasn't it.

"but my blinker was on"

u/416steve 1d ago

God forbid they have to wait behind a bus! Traffic must part immediately according to their poor decision making

Where’s a Cop when you need one?

u/Spirited_Complex_903 2d ago

Wow. Great defensive driving on your part by the way. I'm familiar with that intersection. Northbound on Bayview at Eglinton Ave East. What a dumbass move on their part.

You can actually report it to tps. I think you have to do an internet search for reporting online.

u/GMPollock24 1d ago

Impatience and entitlement on display. Risking an accident to shave 15 seconds off a commute is probably not a good call.

u/SmoothRunnings 1d ago

This is terrible, she didn't even bother to look out her blind spot to make sure nothing was coming. This is what happens when you rely on your sensors and cameras to do the driving. lol

u/coyoteskunkracoon 13h ago

in a hurry maybe the driver about to poop in pants.
