I went out today for less than an hour and managed to have several annoying incedents.

Went to metro to buy hair product (you guys didn't think my hair naturally goes that way right?) and that was all well and good suprisingly, but I left there to go to the liquor store at highgate (old middle gate) and here's where it gets stupid.

1. random wants to race me light to light down kingsway (this is at like 4:30pm btw), I choose not to play along for obvious reasons, but he didn't like this so he would keep getting behind me until I turned left to highgate

2. I'm signaling and waiting for this person to leave their spot (all kinds of patiantly, I'm not in a rush, I've got no where I must be). Person leaves so while I'm waiting for oncoming car to pass (no rush = no reason to be obnoxious and hold up extra traffic) this LITTLE OLD MAN IN A GOLD ACCORD STEALS MY SPOT!!!!!!!!!!!! I would be way less annoyed if I hadn't been patiently waiting, signal on, etc. So I got out of my car to explain this to him (& I was nice about it too!) ... I wont recount the entire conversation but it ends with me telling him that just because he's old doesn't mean he gets to do what ever he pleases.

3. going back the other way on kingsway (headed home now) Honda Oddesy cuts from the far left lane to far right lane and then stops in the curb lane (no stopping on kingsway in curb lane until after 6 or 6:30 or something ... by this time it's only mid way through the 5:somethings)

4. old old old geo metro on royal oak driving, not slowly either I might add, in the invisible curb lane (basically where people would and do park along side the actual traffic lane) so he can be first to the light at royal oak and oakland (really, you could see well ahead that the light was red but buddy needed to be at it first) ... and the kicker about this guy he goes like 40 down royal oak to deer lake parkway holding up everybody he'd just totally illegally passed!


Clearly I should have stayed put tanning in my back yard and started in on the cocktails early instead of trying to run 2 non-pressing errands ... eesh

I ahte it when somebody passes me on the right, just shows how much of an @$$hole they are, from then on I proceed to show how much of an @$$hole I can be

get to the right lane where u belong girls, left lane 4 passing only not sight seeing !
i don't own the road!

I got rearended on the way to work on Hwy 91....

I pass on the right, If people wont stay in the left lane like there supposed to , I will pass them in the right.

Kaydee

what I meant was that I was already on the right lane...sometimes they use the shoulder or gun it if the lane merges with the right lane...seriously, that's is the most uncool thing a driver can do so don't do it, or somebody will eat my dust...literally

nap1h

Already in the right lane, well thats a total different story !

I hate it everyday Im on HWY 91 to and from richmond, and everyone uses merging lanes to get 4 cars ahead.

1conbaba: you need to come drive in vancouver before you have too many opinions in here. If you feel strongly that you must chime in, please read the post you're commenting on before you respond.

ie: there was no right lane for driving, hence my complaint.

1conbaba

I think it's same everywhere you go, Houston,Dallas,LA, Chicago, Miami, Atlanta .......everyone is rushing........rush hours.......and rudeness became norm so we all have to adapt to that driving style..."aggressive" if you will, and no it is not too many opinions, just a little common sense! and do share the road not road rages!

Kaydee

I've had the chance to drive in downtown Chicago last year...to be honest, aside from taxis cutting you off from picking up and dropping off passengers, the flow and driving style seems to be alright (yes aggressive, but they don't **** you off). But in Vancouver, there are just so many inconsiderate drivers that believe they own the road:
- not signalling
- illegal u-turns
- inability to road signs
- wannabes street racers
- etc.

One time I saw this one guy doing a u-turn on ROBSON street!!! Robson is a two way, one lane street, so when you make a u-turn, you automatically make an @$$ out of yourself and turn others into road ragers.

aggressive drivers, as in trying to get places quickly without endangering anyone, I can handle...but not being able to drive in a relatively open environment that Vancouver roads are is just stupidity.

To the guy trying to race me last night: What were you thinking!?!?
Last night around 3am, second gen IS, in black, trying to race me on Fraser. I kept up for a bit, but realized i was followed by an unmarked RCMP Tahoe, i flashed my lights but you kept going. As I followed you, the truck cut me off and kept chasing you, mean while, i was chasing the truck. I wasnt sure what was really happening until we were doing well over 100 trying to keep up. He turned on his lights, and You got pulled over few minutes later after the 3rd round-a-bout! That truck must have been supercharged, it kept up so well! Never seen a Tahoe take corners so well.

Kaydee

^ LOL hahaha awesome...that must have been a pretty good night
