Do people realize there's a stop light there? Why the fuck are you honking at me when clearly the light is red? Assholes. | yeah i know that one. fuckers honk at me too. freaking hell.
But everyone i see wont wait for the light to turn green at that intersection, they usually turn right when its safe. Or if you're from Richmond, female, around 35-60 yrs old, you turn even when theres traffic coming at you and hope you dont get hit. They should really have a "no right turn when light is red" sign there.

I know it's not the GVRD but my god Vancouver Island has the worst drivers I have ever experienced locally.
Here are a few things I witnessed during my one day trip yesterday for a wedding;
-Doing 50/km in the right lane and another driver sitting in the left doing doing the same speed on the highway
-Braking on the highway for no reason
-Counted number of drivers cutting or not given a signal on the highway
-Motorcyclist hogging up the lanes and not doing the speed limit.
-Tailgating from 50+ year old drivers

another place to add onto the list of crappy parking lots
Richmond Public Market, at the bottom going up, that stupid corner where EVERYBODY takes it wide. People also tail you in that lot so there's no space to ease off to let the other person go.
I hate those people that take the corners wide (I know those who drive in RPM, Aberdeen and Crystal mall understand). They're the reason why there are ALWAYS gridlocks in the lot. People don't know how to back off a little.

Living by Main st my entire life and driving on Main for years I gotta say Main St as a whole is just fucking brutal. This applies north and southbound. For whatever reason these fuckers always drive 50 and sometimes 40's and i'm talking about douchebags in the left and right lane. Sometimes it takes quite a while before you even see a slight opportunity to cut somebody off and get at least some day light.

Any parking lot where the drivers only seem to know how to park by backing into the stalls.

intersection of hazelbridge and alderbeidge
specifically exiting lansdown center, there are 2 lanes
the left lane is dedicated to left turners only but is only painted on the surface of the road
the right lane is for straight through and right turn only.
guess what, people line up in the left lane to go straight while people in the right lane thinking they're clear to go straight through since the left lane is for left turners only.
now u see 2 cars from 2 lanes trying to fight into 1 lane.
surprisingly, i've seen this happen like many many many gazillion times yet there hasnt been any accidents.

And on Hazelbridge when people try to come out of Parker Place and that plaza beside it (where Hon's is), they drive their car so out that they're past the line so you either have to stop to let them out or go to the left lane so you don't ram into them.

gray VW, ugly ass... the next time i see him i'm going to cripple his leg.. then his face... CrippleFaceTron!

ppl (like me) are retarded on knight st, knight st. bridge and bridgeport. Something about it just brings out the need to swerve and quickly get the hell off and onto a better street?

Just gotta be able to do it quickly. I see tons of people who park head-first and leave their vehicles with one wheel on/very close to a line, or even worse, a wheel in the adjacent spot. In fact, I'd imagine that most scrapes you see on people's bumpers are the result of parking next to some careless fool who turned headfirst into his/her spot too soon. My car included.

(not all, but most) | the best is when white people make mistakes. they always seem to think they're better than average, so when the cut off an asian guy, or do something wrong to an asian driver, they somehow think they're OK, since asians are stereotyped to be bad drivers.
a white guy in a truck almost hit my car, then proceeds to yell at ME when clearly he would've been 100% at fault. i was full of wtf

every morning on hwy 1 east bound, i see people cruising at 80-90k in the passing lane with the right side lane completely wide open. d'oh!

Even worse is when they have 2+ people in the car and the HOV lane is wide open too.

Funny thing is this doesn't happen when drivers are heading southbound to Richmond. | Its because they are invincible when they drive northbound. There's a manhole cover that's kinda loose and makes a sound when you drive over it. If you hit it just right, it makes you and your car invincible just like the glowing red/yellow star from Super Mario for about 15 seconds.
The southbound lane does not have such a manhole.
I thought everyone knew about this.
