  • If I were you, I would first learn how to park properly, then I will think of buying your car. By the way, $29,900 is too $$ for a gas guzzling SUV driven by an owner who takes TWO parking stalls just to show off his car. I would lower the price to << $25,000 before anyone would even consider.

  • Jerk of the day comes in many forms, including PRIUS drivers. I was slowing down to ~ 90km / h (speed limit=110km/h) heading towards a highway exit. This stupid prius driver pushes his car to go ahead of me in the fast lane, cuts me off in close and short distance and slows down to less than 50 km/h so he can negociate a 270 degree turn (3/4 of a circle). Please note there is NO cars behind me, but this scumbag finds it cool to accelerate in the fast lane, pass my car, cuts me off, and slows down just so he can safely exit the ramp to another highway. Doing so force me to slam on my brakes so I won't rear end his car. 1. If you can't negociate a turn at your current speed, why don't you slown and go behind another car instead of cutting them off and hopes they rear end you so you can get a new car? Take note that a Prius is not a sports car and it does not have the handling characteristics of a sports car. If you want handling and performance, ditch the Prius and get a car that satisfy your driving desire. 2. Obey the traffic rules. Driving a hybrid does not give you the right to speed up behind cars, pass them, and cut them off just so you can get to work on time. 3. Don't underestimate other drivers. They might take a photo of your car and report to the police.

  • The award to the only person left in on a highway lane when an ambulance is behind them, is you! Congrats! Not only do you not slow down or change lanes, despite more than adequate space as illustrated from the 10 cars behind and in front of you whom correctly vacated to the right. But alas, you decide you are completely docile and decide to 1) change lanes and leave a mile-wide gap 2) a few minutes later, speed past everyone and tailgate a car 3) slow down to a crawl again. Bipolar driving indeed! I hope you get the help you clearly need.

  • Tailgating in rush hour is useless and only makes you a road hazard. I hope you learn your lesson sooner than later.

  • Makes right turn onto 3 lane street, on-coming traffic on 2 lanes to the left. Parked car on the right side forces driver to (a) stop (b) merge (c) merge blindly. Decides (c) is the best course of action. I slow from 60-30 in 2 seconds and thank you with horn. Thanks, I understand you are old, but last I checked, this isn't an excuse for not looking. Karma's a bitch, I hope it catches up to you soon.

  • Stopped at red light in heavy traffic well behind line, decides as light goes green, that a right turn needs to be made in a heavy pedestrian traffic zone (that already has a substantial right turn line up). Clueless to surroundings, waits 20 seconds before deciding that maybe this isn't such a *bright* idea.

  • FYI you can make a right turn on red in Ontario, but no it's not acceptable to cross 3 lanes when you do. 1. Stopped at red light, no traffic except left turn on a 4 lane (each way) street. Fails to make a right turn despite a gentle honk and wave. Waves and points to red light in completely ignorance. 2. Light turns green and proceeds to cross 3 lanes to the far left lane. wth. 3. Continues to then tailgate and weave in and out of moderate traffic, rather than gaining distance, in fact loses distance. lol, thanks, that was comic relief at it's best. For someone who likes to speed, weave and not signal, I'm surprised you decided the need to not turn on a red, despite the lack of traffic and despite there is NO law against it. It never ceases to amaze me how stupid people can be.

    Spinning my wheels.   Wednesday, June 25, 2008

     I can't help but think what a waste of time it is posting plate numbers of bad drivers.

    I've posted on this site and after too many errors logging in, went to aother site, where I made several posts.

    Really, though, nobody cares.

    I bet someone files for me   Friday, May 02, 2008

     I have a hunch that my plate will end up in here one day. Why? I drive the speed limit. I actually STOP at Stop signs. I signal my turns. I obey the lights. And for lots of reasons--I don't want a ticket, sure; but the rules are for a reason and I am often in the car with my family. I drive safely to protect them more than anything. Can you imagine, "slow driver" will be what they say about mine :P

    In todays News1130 news story, they tell us that the Canadian Worst Driver series which is on the Discovery Channel  is returning to Vancouver.  For the last two years, the worst driver is from Vancouver.  Producers of the show ay they aren't sure why but Vancouver just seems to have some dreadful drivers.

    Sorry.   Tuesday, April 08, 2008

    Sorry, but with the cost of:

    speeding tickets,

    insurance, and

    gasoline,

    I can no longer afford to speed.

    BREAKFAST, on the go!   Monday, April 07, 2008

     I saw a first today, a woman eating CEREAL in her car, while driving. Not a cereal bar. A BOWL of cereal, balanced on the steering wheel, spoon and all!
