One thing that's annoying I find in London, say you wanna get into the lane NO ONE lets you in you literally have to stick ur nose out and cut them off to get onto the damn road at times.

I seriously figure people get their license and then forget how to drive. And being inconsiderate and an *** on the road wont help anyone. I hate bad drivers.

G Calgary drivers are horrible but the people are nice man. Sucks you gotta drive a limo tho hey. Props to you those are LONG.

For some places its christmas, but other places its an everyday thing.

Sorry Pus

People who speed too fast on bad weather days such as these are dangerous. But also people who drive vehicles that are unsafe for the road are an even larger hazard.

Take it easy on the roads these Holidays...

People are retarded Zach.

sure, there's those who don't keep their vehicles in roadworthy condition, and they should have their own set of charges... getting caught with a vehicle that is un-cared-for should be a 200 dollar fine, AND a court order to repair the vehicle and submit it for inspection within 7 days. if you get into an accident because of your negligence, then it should be criminal negligence, period. and if someone dies: First Degree Murder!! summary conviction, no trial, life in jail.

LOL, thats hillarious, define "poor" you mean financially? why do you say that? Im curious </font>[/QUOTE]Cuz majority of the 'really poor' people in the world drive the unsafe vehicles. The one's you see out there with the like 1980's falling apart rust buckets. Personally I couldn't drive somethin like that and by example some jerk off couple years ago decided to pull out infront of me with his piece of crap old clunker truck on a pouring rainy slippery day, had to slam on my brakes and by the time I was close to stopping and missing his truck I was sideways! Not only did he cut me off however he cut off a crap load of traffic going the way he turned as well. Sad thing about that is that my car would'a been totalled and I would'a been lucky to walk away without a scratch on me as I slid driver side in. Kinda like one of those trucks you see in National Lampoons Christmas Vacation at the beginning of the movie.

I don't understand why people feel the need to dart out there infront of traffic in such a hurry when they're gonna go so FRIGGIN slow!?!?! If your gonna go slow you obviously have the frickin time to wait instead of cutting someone else off.

Or today this punk kid in one of those 88-89 Cavalier RS' with a fart can on the back of his car stopped beside me at a light and thought I was gonna race him (Driving my mom's 2001 Corolla) More than likely could have taken him if I really wanted to, and probably could have in my Z24 (which my brother in law is driving currently) but the dumbkid guns it (I didnt even bother) and pulls out infront of me and then proceeds to TURN left at the gas station. I don't see the point in gunning ahead of someone if your just gonna turn anyway [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] Thanks to him I was stuck behind a transport and a nice Dodge 4x4 (03) truck for 80% of the drive home.

Excuse me?????? That's a pretty bland statement. I come from a "poor" region and I see a lot of "poor" people driving on the roads "out there with the like 1980's falling apart rust buckets", and contrary to what you say, they do keep them in good running order. They have to keep them running and function as best as they can, how else are they going to make a living??? I have a lot of "poor" friends, and they keep their cars running in a lot better shape than people who are better off in them. They have to keep them in good running order to make a living.... That seems to be pretty stereotypical.


How do poor people even factor into this. Bad driver's are everywhere and come from all streams of society. They are drivers who know that their car is unsafe to even be on the road, yet drive it on the busy roads anyways. If I recall, your dad did this a little while ago with your car, and even though it had no function brakes (except the e-brake), your dad still took it on the road, and not only put his and your life at risk, but the lives of everyone occupying the road around him.

This isn't an attack on you or your dad, it's not my intention. Bad drivers are not just "poor" people, theyre people who neglect their cars, don't care, or just can't be bothered to fix it.

^ I agree with Zach. I wouldn't say my family is poor, but we don't have a lot of money to spend on cars.
For the except of a 96 lumina, all our cars are atleast 12 years old.
They are not rust buckets however, and they are well kept. I do not see how driving an old crappy car has anything to do with being a bad driver...Although I do see how driving without brakes can lead to trouble...

I don't know...when I was a kid I knew LOTS of people with crap cars that could barely afford to put gas in 'em let alone fix anything. I think I know where she's coming from there. They would buy $200-300 cars...drive the crap outta them until they broke...bad brakes, stalling...tie rod ends and ball joints toast you name it. Once it broke it would sit in the driveway 'till they could fix the ONE THING it needed to go again.

Of course this was in Montreal, and there was no such thing as safety checks when you bought a car.
