usually when you see someone during a wide turn with left signal on it's a sign they'll be pulling a U-Turn..but sucks cause the oncoming traffic was already coming so i guess that threw you off too.

Ah good to know, I had no idea... Will watch out for that next time then.

I don't know if this has to do with this topic, but I almost got ticketed because I made a right turn during a red in Washington, when there was a sign stating that I could not turn on a red. Very lucky that the issuing officer just gave me a lecture on why we shouldn't turn right on a red, and even cracked a joke about Canadians :O

I got ticketed for exactly this a few weeks back, northbound turning eastbound on Victoria onto Broadway; had no idea about the sign there.

Cop was just sitting there waiting for people to do this, about 6 meters from the corner.

Cop wasn't a dick though, realized I didn't see the sign. Still gave me a ticket, albeit not for the full 'illegal turn on red' or whatever.

Oh, reminds me of one:

Marine Way southbound merging into SW Marine drive.

Do people realize there's a stop light there? Why the fuck are you honking at me when clearly the light is red? Assholes.

any street that has a 4 door corolla on it.

Fuck corolla drivers and their white gloves too.

Boundary downhill merging onto Marine Drive (W. Bound). The right turn lane has its own lane, there is no yielding or merging. It pisses me the fuck off when people come to a FULL FUCKING STOP at the bottom of the hill.

No YOU fail. I work on No.3 Road close to Cambie, so either I take No. 3 road where it gets all clogged up or I take Hazelbridge. There is no other way to avoid that road!

Don't know where you're coming from, but what about Garden City?

Most of the time I take No.4 road to get from Alderbridge to Cambie if I'm coming in from Burnaby, but I still need Hazelbridge to avoid the traffic on No.3 road. Despite the fact that Hazelbridge is such a horrible road, it still would save me time from being stuck in traffic on No.3 road...

Aberdeen, Parker Place, Crystal Mall, that plaza in Richmond where Go Go Tea is, No.3 Road.

and just driving in general, PEOPLE NEED TO STOP DRIVING SLOW IN THE FAST/LEFT LANE ON THE HIGHWAY! FUKIN ENFORCE THAT SHIT ALRDY!

Qmx323 05-12-2009 08:53 PM

Slow as in speed limit? or under it? Just because its the "fast" lane on the left doesn't mean you can go over the speed limit. I hope you're talking about people who drive under the speed limit on the left lane.

your drawing is clearly flawed.

If you look at your drawing, the car in the stall next to the woman trying to park is backed in, but in the picture you can clearly see the car was parked nose in.

Oh snap, I fail.

hk20000 05-13-2009 07:56 AM

illustration failed.

I hate people who drive slowly approaching a light and speed up just enough to get through when the light turns yellow, so me has to stop. I wouldn't have to stop if they drove 50 the whole way...

Fast lane is fast lane.

People who drive in the fast lane at the speed limit saying "I'm driving as fast as is legally allowed" should be ticketed just as if not more agressively than road ragers, because a HUGE amount of road rage is created by self-righteous or oblivious drivers.

Qmx323 05-13-2009 12:49 PM

People that get mad because other drivers driving at the speed limit in the left lane are as self-righteous as people who drive the limit, no? Granted it says slower traffic stay left, but that doesn't mean "If you're 80 on a 80 please stay right and going 110 in a 80 please stay left". The passing lane is there to pass slower traffic without breaking the speed limit (lawfully speaking). The point I'm trying to argue I guess is that when people get road rage, they are as self righteous as the people who drive "in the fast lane at the speed limit".

I guess I'm just mad because my car can't go fast so I have to stay in the right lane :(

You know, I actually find Burnaby MUCH worse than Richmond.
I commute From Vancouver, to Richmond, To Burnaby, and back to Vancouver.
And Burnaby sucks.

twitchyzero 05-13-2009 02:13 PM

99% of the time if youre in in the left lane on a highway doing speed limit it's too slow

Iceman-19 05-13-2009 03:57 PM

Fuck buying a new vehicle, I want to buy a goddamn bulldozer............and then put nitrous on it. AND PLOW MY FUCKING WAY TO THE CHINESE MALL SO I CAN GET SOME NEW NORTH FACE JACKETS OMG.
