To the people who drive in the passing lane in the morning on the 102 doing 95 kms/hour, MOVE THE FUCK OVER! It is called a PASSING LANE, not a “sit in this lane pissing people off and drive 95 kms an hour in morning traffic forcing people to pass on the inside lane”! UAH! This frustrates me to NO END while on my way in to work in Halifax in the morning! —Forced to pass on the inside

Two words: TRAIN and HORN. They’ll move when they hear that!!! I am getting one as soon as the car is paid off.
i’m gonna try that one next time ^
Yeah! Lean on it until they move!
That’s what I do when I’m going up (or down) Quinpool at the rush hour when people sit there pretending not to notice it’s a NO STOPPING ZONE from 7 to 9 (or 4 to 6).
I’ve watched Parking Enforcement Vehicles pull out around these people and keep driving! WTF?!?
One question though. Why aren’t the NO STOPPING signs at driver eye level instead of 10 feet up???
I love my horn and I use it accordingly. Drives my my boyfriend crazy. He’s way more patient and polite than I am. 🙂
The speed limit means nothing on the 101 early in the mornings. 120km/hr or more is the standard. Maybe a transport truck will roll over them for driving too slow.
That’s super annoying ANY time of day.
Here here. A big pet peeve of mine as well at any time of the day.
OP this is for you! Listen ’til chorus.

listen up, i used to drive race car at lucasville and the airport circle. if you seen me driving, it would make your asshole hairs go all stiff. 95, pffft, piece of fucking care. we used to run at 120-175 mph. and that was slow for the class i was in, superstock.
anyone that is unlucky enough to piss me off, usually goes home with a very good lesson learned.let them stay in the fucking passing lane, they are all pussies anyway. when i come whizzing by you at 130-170 klm., in the far right lane, you will know you have been buzzed.
i remember a time on the road to truro, 3 cars,side by side, i snugged up to one on inside. then i hit bump, and almost went over the guy in next lane, just riding on two wheels. scared me a bit, but i passed them all, and humped over to 4 wheels again. was fun while lasted, after my nuts came back home to rest. but wouldn’t wanna try again. and no, the big white beast wasn’t involved. just a little old mustang 5 litre.
My pet hate is when your in the passing lane doing say 130 and someone drives up my arse, thats when i slow down in the passing lane to 90 just to remind them they are an arse.
I tend to have a lead foot as well LS, but the fucking hybrid protests. It goes reehhhhhhhh when you floor it, and the other cars I can almost see the fuel gauge take a big sigh and come to rest a notch lower than it was before. Sad days.
You ever been pulled over? how do you explain 130 … lol
and horns, bah, the shit on these newer cars sound like beep, beep, the road runner. give me a good old style claxon type, or just the ones off a big old ford. man them fucking things can be loud.
donk, i used to drive a big old 1986 dodge diplomat, ex rcmp car. that thing was rated at 280 mph, i had her clocked by a buddy of mine in bridgewater, from rcmp. at well over 200. and let me tell you, there was still plenty of pedal left to use. that thing ran one one bbl. in town, two on main drags, and on open road, the 4’s would cut in, and away we would go.
some of the shit that is on the road today, i laugh at, and pass as if they were parked. 180, nothing to it. well yeah, right now, because my big beastie is gone, fuck i miss that thing.

I do that on purpose. If you needed to be somewhere in a hurry, you should have left sooner.
There’s no fucking situational awareness in this province, some of these fucking people are happy to dawdle along at 90km/h in the passing lane with a KM of cars behind them. Problem is, the cops are happy to be in that line of pissed off drivers and do SFA. Should be allowed to bumper tag ’em. I’m sure they would wake the fuck up. FFS, “keep right except to pass!!”
If you do it on purpose, that makes you not only a complete fucking asshole but also someone who is endangering others just cuz you need a little ego boost… sad.
and i’m sure those people that camp out in the passing lane are the same people who complain about people passing on the inside lane. I have no choice!
I drive the 102 frequently, & what freaks me out about most of those people doing 90, 95 is when you go by them, you can see they are white knuckling the wheel ! If you are afraid to go 110/120, take the old road, go slower & enjoy the sceenery.
But by far what pisses me off more than the OB’s bitch is the ASSHOLES who drive down the on ramp to the 102 & are doing 80 kms an hour !
How the hell do you expect to merge safely on a highway in the morning rush, when your literally & damn slow moving speed bump !?!
those are the worst mr. more. why am i in third…aieeee. taking the exit for either airport/hfx coming back in on the 103 can be exhilarating
exhilarating, isn’t the word I’d choose paingirl…frustrating, dangerous with close calls being ‘terrifying’ !
haha, perhaps not the best description. defensive driving is a must…please drivers, swivel your heads
More, you are operating on the assumption that they acknowledge they aren’t the only ones on the road. Bad bad bad.
