Crawling on 404 south near the 401 clusterfuck, just past the Sheppard exit, noticed the car behind me disappeared in a plume of white smoke.
Ok so I figured the guy would at most crawl his way to 401W get off at Leslie or something.
Nope. Made his way to EXPRESS and kept on driving, no fucks given.
At the speed he was crawling, traffic is starting to build and cars behind are trying to change out of that lane (so they can see).
Thank god I was ahead and had open lanes. Left them behind in a cloud. His cloud. :D
Dude must be a fan of those Russian dash cam vids.
Hope a cop will pull his ass over for driving an unsafe POS.

pff fuck that entire exit.
going south on 404 and need to go west? hug the right lane at finch, dip onto the merging lane and exit at sheppard, take sheppard down to leslie and hop on 401E. never every any traffic between don mills and leslie.
need to go 401 east? same thing, finch onramp to 404 south doesn't end, dip into that lane exit sheppard, make a left using the wide lane to end up in the right lane on sheppard heading east, take the yield ramp onto consumers rd, follow the road never any traffic, right onto vic park, 401 east right there.
amateurs.

^ sheppard's a good one -- although i hate making that left on leslie (gotta wait several lights before you make it to the front); and that little stretch south of sheppard to 401 ramps is a crap shoot (esp. after 8:30 am)
before wifey went on mat leave - we'd take the HOV and fly down the tunnel for 401W so it was never a problem. these last 2 days i was on training and had to get in early so i was trying different routes out.
i have to bail at bathurst so i prefer to be in the express fast to avoid the build up on 401W at bayview (which can get bad if the build up is clogging the stretch starting at leslie and i can't even make my way to express.

hmm do you mean the right turn lane to yorkland? that looks interesting.
may have to evaluate this.

^ well played. when dropping wifey off at work (yonge-sheppard) i use the NYG entrance to go over the bridge to hit Esther shiner and exit the street between crappy tire and the gas station to get on sheppard.
forgot about the ramp on the north side to go up to leslie station.
will definitely remember that one.
ended up taking sheppard exit today and turning at leslie (wasn't so bad since it's a friday and it was 8ish); only had to wait 1 cycle to make the left. but once on 401w - holy crap the 2 left lanes were clogged w/ people trying to get into express (they weren't moving) -- good thing i snuck in at the last moment.

Eh I drive to Islington and 401 for 7am and 404/401 is not that bad at 6:45am. I hug the right lane and takes around 5mins to get onto 401w express.

exactly. "is not that bad at 6:45"
try the express/collector split at 7:30.. fawk that.
the sheppard/yorkland trick might make 7:30 doable, is what im saying
