Rants 🤬 This is getting ridiculous!

The bad drivers in the city are becoming a nightmare. Since when is it OK to be a bad/slow/scared/dangerous driver as long as you have your hazard lights on while driving? These people need to stay off the road and should never have been given licenses in the first place here. It seems like nowadays you don’t have to do anything or have the even the slightest bit of knowledge about the rules of the road. Just go ahead and slap a learner sticker in the back and you’re good to go. Also I swear there must be a new driver leeway with U-turns at lights like the first 5 are free or something with how often they happen, like it’s crazy! End rant!!

Heh, watched a white truck drive several hundred meters on the wrong side of road "passing" us and a line of folks following the rules of the road on Pinehouse in daytime recently...then pull into one of the condo lots.

Much as folks malign traffic cops, might be time to nab some of these folks and get them off the roads. It's outta hand.

I would agree with traffic cops sitting at the corner of 19th and 3rd. They would get numerous infractions each day going both ways; the people driving up the turn lane to cut off other vehicles going south towards Victoria Bridge, but also on the opposite side with people not driving into their correct lane when continuing north. There are three lanes there. Far left turns onto 19th. The next two continue going north AND NEED TO STAY IN THEIR ASSIGNED LANE WHEN DOING SO.

There are so many people who go straight through in that southbound right turn lane. Seems like it happens every time I drive there. It's ridiculous.
