I applaud your honesty. I would do the same dam thing if I had to use them. It's bad enough trying to get to the west end from Oshawa when there are 3 lanes and the morons that drive on the 401 let alone having it be reduce to two lanes....insanity.
Disgraced Former Toronto Mayor and Drug Addict Admits to Using HOV Lanes Illegally
- Thread starter destillat

Yeah your thinking is clear: you think your behavior is OK so long as you don't get caught. You probably also think it is OK to drive down the shoulder of the highway to get around a slow merge, to get past all those other people who are less important than you are.
We can see your thinking.
.. because Toronto is the only city in the world with traffic jams.
LOL.
You are clearly the only one on the highway with somewhere important to go, all those other people obeying the rules are clearly just out for a fun drive and not trying to pick up their kids from daycare or get to work. Only you have somewhere important to be.
In fact you deserve your own private highway that is how important you are.
For Rob Ford the Pan-Am games are the best thing to happen to him....taking advantage of the HOV lanes.
You know how I think? Just because I say I drive on HOV without another person? Just because I do what other thousands do every year in Ontario? You are not that smart, my friend. Don't over-estimate yourself, ok?
I do go on HOV only because I have to rush to pick up my kids from daycare or get to work. You feel better now?
You are clearly the only person on the highway with anywhere to be and you clearly deserve your own lane. In fact we should put flashing lights on your car and ask all the unimportant people on the road to pull over and make way for Your Majesty.

Well as long as you have a good reason.. After all that's the law.. "Feel free to take advantage of everybody else, so long as you have a good reason"..
What we want is a Mayor (and Council) who won't waste $3 billion dollars of our money pretending to build a short, useless subway we won't see for a half dozen more years, and which no one much will ride for decades. Even when they finally do, they'll be CondoCrowds, abandoning Scarborough and taking their money to spend downtown where they'll work and live their days. Leaving the local homeowners and businesses high and dry.
Rob couldn't shrink his own waist, raised taxes he promised to cut, cancelled the useful, affordable transit many thousands of us still need, and was the prime-mover behind the wasteful Three-Stop Scarburrow. Never mind that over and over he showed us his first instinct and first word was always a self-excusing lie. When Ford Rump wakes up to the fact that he's the worst possible spokesperson for whatever good ideas they have, and starts pushing those ideas instead of defending the guy who's happier and safer as a Coiucil backbencher, then people will leave Rob alone.
Can't plan your day realistically, so we should ignore you grabbing special driving privileges you aren't entitled to? HOV lanes for incompetents?
I'm sorry but I think your way out of line here. Yes it is wrong to misuse the HOV lanes we all know that, but considering the morons out there, the ones who refuse to drive the speed limit ( 80km, 70km and yes even 60km IN TH PASSING LANES and we are not talking about rush hour traffic but normal everyday volume ) the people who think there responsible drivers by allowing a gap of 10 car lengths away from the car in front of them because "I can't go anywhere " all the while screwing to people behind them. This all happens when we have 3 LANES, now take one away, get the picture?
Your response is full self righteousness, as if you have NEVER, EVER, broken a law, never done anything to get what you want like cutting someone off to get off the highway, coming up to a amber light being 4 car lengths away then having it change to red and instead of stopping safely you gun it because you didn't want to stop saving yourself that precious 5 seconds, always using your signal to change lanes, Ya you sound like the perfect driver yourself. Having blind faith in the idiots that make these ridiculous laws doesn't make it right. Remember people in glass houses........
No, you can't plan your day realistically because of the incompetent drivers who insist on taking the highways. HOV lanes for escape!!!
You sound like a horrible driver..
I have broken plenty of laws in my day, but have managed to never cut somebody off on the highway to catch my exit. I don't know about you, but I'm paying attention when I drive on the highway (at speeds that could kill... aka highway speeds) and make sure I'm aware of my surrounding specifically so I DON'T have to do anything stupid and dangerous that could kill me or others on the road. The fact that you think this is excusable and a "no big deal" sorta situation is beyond repulsive.
I've only ever run a single red, and that was by accident (the sun was in my face and I was stupidly having an argument with my passenger at the time). I would never dare try to run a red (or risk running a red) simply because I was running late.. It's fucking dangerous. Running red lights is pretty much the top fucking way pedestrians are killed. Again, this isn't a "no big deal" situation that we should all understand people need to do from time to time.. It's despicable..
I also always use my signals when changing lanes.. Why the fuck wouldn't somebody use their signals? It's a flick of the fucking pinky that warns other drivers that you intend to enter the space that they may be planning to occupy.. How fucking lazy does somebody have to be where they're going to put their own life in danger (as well as others) just so they don't have to "bother" signaling.. Personally I think the people who don't signal on highways are dickless knuckle dragging morons who probably see it as a "sign of weakness".. Idiots.
I'm not so sure about that, it didn't work with Wynne and she is devoid of integrity, intelligence and a brain.
I'm still convinced that Wynne's win has more to do with how out of touch Ontario's PC party is with Ontarians.. Tim Hudak was a moron.. If he just kept his mouth shut during the elections he would have won the PCs a majority government..
Hudak was certainly a moron, then again so are most politicians. It's unfortunate that we have to continue to pay for the incompetence of our governments and their desire only to be re-elected and not to actually serve the public.
I gather by your quotations your are responding to me, are you? Because if you are, you might want to reread my response to fuji # 87, The whole response.
I did. You accused Fuji of being self righteous and then insinuated that he like has committed the previously mentioned offenses.. It struck me that you ASSUME he has done so because (in your mind) EVERYBODY commits these offenses from time to time.. My point was that you're just dead wrong.. Most people don't cut others off on the highway, or run reds, or refuse to signal.. Only absolute fucking terrible people take the safety of themselves (and more importantly, others) for granted.. Your assumption is a poor one and it strikes me that you were able to make this assumption based on your own experiences as a driver (committing these offenses).
Fuji comments insinuated that he is a perfect driver and never has done anything wrong behind the wheel there for he can comment on other people ( If you read the whole response you would of seen the Glass house reference, but I understand)
I simply wrote what I have observed as a driver for many years that's all. My driving habits have help me get a low insurance rate since I have had no moving valuations in 36 years of driving, something I'm quite proud of. I never ASSUMED, nor wrote, that "EVERYBODY" or MOST people committed these offense, just a view that's all. Sounding so magnanimous, as only you can, would give the indication that you have never done ANYTHING wrong behind the wheel and that your that perfect specimen that we all have been waiting for, when in truth , all your doing is showing everyone your true intentions, to insult me no matter what I write, your as transparent as glass. Well if it makes you sleep better at night have at it, but I do have two words for ya....GROW UP!!!
Waiting with baited breath for you to grade my spelling and grammar......BOY I HOPE I PASS!
Listen Pal, I only corrected your spelling and grammar once, and that was after you questioned my vocabulary based on my decision to use expletive terms (and suggested I "freshen up on my English").. I'm not the fucking petty one... I was only pointing out that you weren't anything better than a Pot calling a Kettle black.
Uhhh, yes you did.. You just said that you were questioning his driving habits and insinuated that he had to (at LEAST) have committed at least one of the previously mentioned offenses.. And therefore shouldn't "throw rocks in glass houses".. Unless you personally knew fuji (which you don't), then you would have no reason to assume this about him (what on earth about your previous conversations about him insinuate that he cuts people off on the highway).. The only reason you would assume this about ANYBODY is because you assume it about EVERYBODY.. You assume that everybody is guilty of at least one (or all) of the previously mentioned offenses..
I would never assume that most people cut others off on the highway because I have never done it myself.. Literally never.. It's dangerous and stupid.. You, on the other hand, sound like you likely have (and seem to think it's just dandy)..
