Christ it’s got to stop. I’m going to take action. I’m going to start standing at the side of the road, like I just might possibly cross, and then wait for traffic to come to a screeching halt. Then I’m going to give everybody the finger. Both directions. And I’m going to stand there with two middle fingers upstretched until these anti-jaywalking would-be-friendly-but-actually-goddamn-dangerous drivers finally get the message that IT’S NOT SAFE OR HELPFUL OR ACCEPTABLE OR MORAL IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM TO STOP WHEN YOU THINK A PEDESTRIAN IS GOING TO CROSS THE STREET. And by god I’ll keep doing it daily—please join in—until the driving culture of this !@#$%#@ city changes forever. —Join Me

Don’t bother me none OB….I guarantee you, if you are not at a crosswalk or stopped at a corner.
I Will Not Stop .
it’s kinda hard when there is a cop in front you that’s stopped for a jay
I never stop for anyone who is not at a crosswalk (unless they are already in the middle of the street that is), if I have to obey the rules so do they.
and i kinda hope someone will get out of their car, and give you a punch in the face. that you seem to so richly deserve. you’re a fucking idiot o.p., and doing sgit like that, will not endear anyone to you. quite the contrary, you will have people thinking you are just an ignorant fucking fool, standing there doing that.oh well, at least you would provide someone a good laugh, ya douche.
doing shit like that.
Painy, every time I see a cop car…ther headin’ for a timmie’s & they ain’t stopping ’til they get there!
@m_kegg Before you get all robo driver, don’t forget every street corner, marked or not, is considered a crosswalk. http://www.halifax.ca/traffic/documents/cr…
@Mrs. Landingham I am awarke that every street corner is a cross walk, so don’t go all Robo commenter on me. As i stated “anyone who is not at a crosswalk”.
I also don’t stop for jaywalkers (regardless of if you are in the street). Find a fucking crosswalk or wait until the traffic is clear to cross “illegally”. And if cross the road by jaywalking, at least do it at half a trot, not a fucking snail’s pace, and then we may not have to bitch about it.
you live in halifax where pedestrians rule, and drivers are for the most part really nice people.
if you want to drive like you own the place and run down people then move to NYC.
Amen.
I love the ones that stop on a green light at an intersection to let someone in the oncoming lane turn left, when there’s only 2 or 3 cars behind them and only one person trying to turn left. Who eventually would have once the light turned yellow.
Canada’s Worst Drivers should come do an entire season here.
I’ve never seen so many drivers in one place.
Last friday actually I was at the New Citadel high theatre. Once the show ended of course people started leaving and as you know there’s only 1 road out of the back parking lot.
There were parked cars on both sides of the road and there were assholes that were actually going from behind one parked car to another trying to skip ahead of all the cars that were waiting in line for the intersection to clear!!! It made no sense at all and just plain idiotic and rude!
“I’ve never seen so many drivers in one place.”
you don’t get out much, do you?
You’re going to stand at the side of the street feign like you’re going to cross and, when traffic does stop, you’ll start swearing at them and making rude gestures? Sounds like a rational thing to do.
