I'm a security guard in Hamilton, Ontario. Bought a dash cam to record stuff because I'm out driving a lot. I drive a blue 2013 Honda Civic coupe. I like watching other local dash cam channels and thought I could do that. So this is my attempt.
You know how I know this comment section is full of left-lane drivers? They're always the most pissed off when they encounter someone else doing the same thing.
I've never got the ridiculous amount of anger I've seen not just in this video but from across other people's videos that just because you happen to be in the left lane it's your fault no matter what the person did. People don't know that the driving culture might be different from place to place and the laws could be different from place to place. Plus the camera's lens makes everything look worse which a lot of people don't seem to get either. I've moved over countless times (even last night) when the situation is safe to do so. This wasn't one. Sorry, guess I just unloaded on you .
Wow did the left lane mafia ever come out for this one. Just an fyi, I spent the last hour looking to see if there is any law where I am that I might have broke concerning the left lane. This is the only one that appears to be close, and IMO I wasn't breaking it. If you could find one, then by all means reply. www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90h08#BK252 Slow vehicles to travel on right side 147 (1) Any vehicle travelling upon a roadway at less than the normal speed of traffic at that time and place shall, where practicable, be driven in the right-hand lane then available for traffic or as close as practicable to the right hand curb or edge of the roadway. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 147 (1). Exception (2) Subsection (1) does not apply to a driver of a, (a) vehicle while overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction; (b) vehicle while preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway; (c) road service vehicle; or (d) bicycle in a lane designated under subsection 153 (2) for travel in the opposite direction of traffic. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 147 (2); 2015, c. 14, s. 41. I'm just going to edit this to add this link in. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WCCheNbSvoA.html
@@PhilKsDashcam I drive way worse than that guy but that's because I have a little turbo car. You'd get maybe 15 seconds of footage of me blasting past you threading the needle and then you wouldn't see me anymore. For what it's worth, my Fiat is also a Mopar product made in the same Mexican factory the Dodge Rams are.
So basically you are saying only ram pickup drivers do things like this? BTW stop camping in the passing lane and purposely speeding up to block people. 😂😂😂😂
No I'm not. It's just a running joke with people who's videos I watch and including my own experience that most of the time Ram drivers are the pickups that appear in their/my videos.
The left lane is for passing, not driving in. How do you expect him to get past if you're sleeping in that lane, you basically left him no choice. You are the reason accidents happen, it forces people to take chances instead of just being able to pass and move on.
"Forces people"? "No choice"? That's absurd thinking. Nobody was forcing that guy to drive recklessly. He had the choice to simmer down and not pass on the shoulder. There are no excuses for reckless driving.
Seems like a lot of diesel huffing truck drivers in this comment section lol. As far as I saw it, you were passing the slower moving traffic in the passing lane. They're just upset you didn't yield to the "almighty truck". I live in Florida. Unfortunately, I have an experience like this everyday. I could be driving 85MPH, while passing traffic, but I'll have a truck 2 car lengths from my bumper. Yet, somehow we're in the wrong, according to the typical truck driver. I say this as someone that owned a truck and realized I had no need for such a large vehicle to commute to work.
What's up with this whiny Liberal complaining about other people blocking and driving bad? Learn to use the right lane if you're going to go slower and allow huge gaps between you and the car in front of you in the left lane. Both the Ram and this guy are the type of stereotypical drivers you don't want near you on the road.
What's up with Republicans acting like a bunch of pussies the moment someone criticizes a truck? The guy was passing the cars in the right lane. In the real world, we call that "passing cars in the passing lane". No need to get your panties twisted lmao.
@@PhilKsDashcam I stand by my statement. If you don't like people calling you out for your bad driving... then perhaps you shouldn't post videos of you driving like an asshat.
The guy went around you and everybody else because you're being a douche and driving in the freaking fast lane and you're probably the one that caused him to get irritated and speed up where if you wouldn't have been hogging the passing Lane, you're the problem
Well, this explains a few things. You're camping in the left lane. You admitted to breaking the speed limit. And couldn't maintain a speed, plus you're in trudeau-land. You're not the opp, stop blocking the flow of traffic. You even sped up and blocked that pickup twice in the video
I am a Ram owner I have a dash cam too, trust me there are plenty of GM and Ford truck drivers that I have footage of driving like idiots also. Most truck owners drive reasonably but of course bad driving is not discriminatory it's an individual trait.
Yeah, I have plenty of footage of other brands doing things too. I'm just playing on a running joke with some other people that put out videos that it seems like the majority of the pickups we catch are Rams.
Im a Dodge guy I drag race an older d150 at a sanctioned track Those idiots with there so called HEMI MAKE ME LAUGH Bring it to the drag strip AND i will take there money
I've never owned a pickup, but my next vehicle may very well be a Ramcharger PHEV pickup truck. Will I be required to start driving like an A-hole if I get one?
🤣 I don't think you are required to. I'm just playing off the running joke that usually when you see a pickup doing something in people's videos, it's a Dodge Ram doing it.
Yes I do. But in Ontario the left lane law isn't real strict for one thing. And on that highway, the right lane has a lot of short merge lanes and a lot of people going well under the speed limit. At the time of the day this video was taken, sometimes if you change into that lane, you'll never get out of it and I'd like to get to work in a decent time. Besides, usually if there is no one in front of me I try to go 110 in a 90.
I live and drive in the busy Detroit metropolitan area. Here, the unofficial rule in heavy highway traffic is that if you're in the left lane, you keep up with the vehicle in front of you. If you find yourself with a gap ahead of you that's more than a reasonable following distance, your choices are catch up to traffic or move to the right. The thinking (in my mind, anyway) is that this keeps traffic flowing quickly and smoothly, without need of constantly changing lanes (which can be its own hazard in heavy traffic) as you encounter slower traffic in the right lane. This driver appeared to be following this unofficial rule, and I personally wouldn't fault him for staying in the left lane.
@@ignignokt4u2 I see your point. However, there is one big problem with this approach. You will never go faster than the car in the front of the line, so if the 1st driver is keeping 10 below the speed limit - that is what you all will go. It does not matter how fast you are going. If someone is catching up with you, move over. Let them pass. Then, you can go back to your game of keeping up with the car in front of you. It is simple and allows faster drivers move faster. Granted, my thinking is based on European style. American is a bit different. You guys barely ever use blinkers and move over to let faster cars go. Somehow ROW can leave the left lane for passing. Not the case in the USA, though.
@@PhilKsDashcam I get it. Sure. But then again - it does not matter how fast you are going. If you did not see anyone in the rear-view mirror and now there is - it means they are going faster. Move over and let them pass. And then do what you wish. Had you done it, and had all the cars in front of you had done it - we would never have this conversation here.
1:59 Yeah I just wanted to get home after working a 12 hour night shift. 3:01 Pretty annoying for sure. 11:22 Yeah, I don't get what he was doing there.
4:50 The mentality of "I'm bigger than everyone else. If they try to hit me, I'll win" 6:35 "Found the curb!!!" As my one coworker always says 7:51 Ugh, those invisible stop signs get me every time
4:50 Yeah, pretty much. 6:35 🤣 7:51 Don't have to worry about it there now. They turned that intersection into a roundabout. So now it's people not yielding.
0:47 special dude lol. 2:23 amazing how many people do that. 4:05 wow 5:29 how? 5:58 not worth the risk. 6:33 a little tight lol. 6:51 typical BMW 7:32 good screech 7:57 those invisible stop signs are everywhere. Be safe out there bro.
0:47 Yeah, all over the place. 2:23 That's the only time I've seen that many people do that. 4:05 I think there were a few cars I couldn't see further up the road too. 5:29 I'm not sure. I know people use that middle lane as a merge lane. Maybe that's how. 5:58 Yeah, he got a bit angry.🤣 6:33 Yep. 6:51 Keeping stereotypes alive. 7:32 I wonder if their tires were bald. 7:57 They pop up when you least expect it.
2:16 Yeah, I wasn't expecting that. When he did it that's when I started to wonder if I was missing something. 6:11 Yeah, she was out of it. 🤣 10:00 That was a clip I was going between leaving out or putting in the video. That truck had been a little swervy before this point. But not enough to where you could really see it on the camera.
I heard Hamilton had at least a decent view. Niagara Falls was apparently a bust. Kingston was the place to be...not that I was there. I left work too late to get home to properly setup. So no video of the eclipse, but I did a bunch of handheld shots with an eclipse filter.
Yeah, it had been clouded over for most of the day but right as the eclipse was going to happen it broke up enough to get a view of it. But there was the odd cloud blocking it here and there. Too bad you couldn't get a video of it. But photos are just as good.
I went down to some of my extended family's place in Dallas and watched it, super cool experience! Also saw the one that happened in 2017 in Missouri, but I felt like this last one was neater because it lasted longer
This was the first one I've been able to watch. The last one in this area I was in high school and they didn't let us even look out the windows. They pulled the blinds and kept us in for recess.
@@Viper6-MotoVlogger Brake checking here could also earn you a stunt driving charge. It comes with license suspension and vehicle impoundment plus I've heard stories of insurance companies dropping people for getting charged for that.
