64th Avenue in Surrey, people always zooming down doing 90-100km/h in a 60 zone. Also hate how assholes like to tailgate in rush hour and make 5 or 6 lane changes to get 2 cars ahead. Its like they don't understand the concept of traffic, that if there are 10 cars ahead of me, that I can't speed up.

Parker place is the very definition of chinese mall.

Parking spots are designed for k-cars and no1 can park straight.

Well... here's the most frustrating part to the route I take to work:

I take Hazelbridge Way from Alderbridge, and there are constantly left-turners holding up traffic who signal at the last minute, turning into parker place! What bothers me even more is that there are those who gets stuck behind the left turners that change into the right lane without shoulder checking! Then when I make a left turn on Browngate, there are ALWAYS right turners who turn too wide into my lane! Not to mention EVERYONE jaywalks as if there are no cars and even if they see a car comming, they just take their time... oh BTW, did I mention those who right turn into Aberdeen centre from Browngate ALWAYS make a wide right turn and cuts into the left lane?

Knight St heading northbound.
Just past 57th (Chevron and Petro), there is a little swurve you have to make.
There are three lanes on Knight, and I am in the middle lane, every fucking time, at least 8/10 drivers on the left would drive past the white dotted line, into the middle lane and WILL hit my car if I had not slowed down.

Funny thing is this doesn't happen when drivers are heading southbound to Richmond.

I hate Crystal parking lot... who designs a fucking parking lot that C-lais will have problems getting in/out of?

If you notice, all of the corners at Crystal mall have scrapes and paint all over the place..

Look at any pillar or around those crazy turns. EVERYONE must experience the fun that is Crystal Mall on Saturday around noon.

T&T on 1st and Renfrew has nothing on Crystal Mall.

Earlier today, i dropped by save-on and on my way out from the parking lot, there was this chinese lady with her daughter walking from the parking lot and into save-on. The problem was, they were taking an obnoxiously diagonal path which prolonged my wait for them to get across. She was also giving me a dirty look as if i shouldn't even be going through there at all. Stupid bitch. Your daughter's ugly too.

Theyre building that median straight down the middle of 3rd now, so it should solve that problem. Hopefully.

Cariboo Road when I stop at a light to not block the intersection. The cars ahead of me are stopped, if I don't stop I'll be in the intersection when the light turns read and someone not paying attention runs into the back of me.

Small crack on the plastic part of my bumper, her car is a complete write off. Truck with hitch housing FTW.

There are reasons why C-lai's drive big ML/GL/X5/Cayenne's, ground clearance! No median is going to stop them from getting into (Insert asian mall here) by violating a million traffic regulations at once.

Douchebag this morning in a black Chrysler 300 at going northbound at Granville and 70th, turning Left onto 70th. Left turn signal was solid amber, he turns wide, I'm thinking "OK this dick's just gonna turn right into the right lane".

WRONG. He decides at the last minute to do a U-turn, I almost ended up T-boning him, and the guy behind me rear-ending me coz the fucking left-turn signal was off and traffic was coming in the other way!

Fucking idiot, what the fuck was he thinking... Not even asian either.

US law = U turns ALLOWED unless otherwise stated......Canada law = U turns NOT ALLOWED unless otherwise stated...

Yanks would pull that one off for sure.
