This is personal (I almost got hit backing out of my driveway this morning) but I have heard many other neighbours issuing the same complaint - there are too many aggressive drivers in our little neighbourhood.
You have the power to stop it!
We are a small neighbourhood, the posted speed is 40 km/hr. We, the community, asked for that. There are many children playing in the park and out and about on the roads and sidewalks. Lots of people walk around the neighbourhood, with and without dogs. It's what makes our neighbourhood great. We are also densly populated and need to make accommodation for each other. Running stop signs, whipping around corners, or just being a little too pushy are all asking for trouble.
Take the time to allow your neighbour to back out of a driveway. Tight parking situations mean that people are manouvering around tight corners and dealing with blind spots. Remember that the next time you see someone inching their way into traffic.
What to do if you spot aggressive driving
If you spot aggressive driving, the Toronto Police Service does have a way of reporting it. Go to https://webapp1.torontopolice.on.ca/dors/hit-run.html and follow the steps.
To report illegal parking, call 416-808-2222 (24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week).
