Seriously LEARN how to drive.

Caution. Loud, angry rant ahead:

Is it hard to understand that a 4 way intersection might not necessarily be a 4 way stop? That you, yes you, might in fact have the right away? And that perhaps the 2 people in front of you, that barely slowed down, to turn, while the rest of us waited patiently, might in fact be a sign that you too, should procede forward?
Also, is it impossible to believe that a lane crossing through a median, might be ONLY for the traffic on the side road, and not a place for you to do a U-turn? You might gather that by the impossibly sharp angle they created it on. And by the way you got stuck and had to drive up OVER the median to get through. Or perhaps by the angry, honking drivers behind you.
Really, there was a back lane about 20 feet ahead that you could do a 2 point turn quite easily. But no. Where's the fun in obeying the law, when you could perform illegal maneuvers in a places commonly surveilanced by ghost cars?
Have they not seen them?
Finally is it hard to park IN a parking space, and not on the line or partway in to my space? Don't be surprised when there are dings in your door. I gotta get my son in his seat somehow.
Winnipeg has THE WORST drivers in the world. Canada's Worst Driver could come and pick 10 random people and make a show, I'm not kidding.
I'm moving back to Vancouver.

  1. Lol. At the risk of taking your wrath upon myself...

    Okay, yes, we have some stinkers. But worse than Vancouver? Perhaps your perceptions were altered by the marijuana-scented air out there. I have driven with drivers from the Valley. Most seem to believe that stop signs and the speed limit are clearly optional. ;-)

  2. Lol! Well at least there they tend to have one hand on the wheel. Here it's made difficult by the timies in one hand and slurpy in the other.
