While you may think that you’re being courteous, kind, “paying it forward,” or making a difference in the world, it is fucking dangerous to ignore the rules of the road! If someone wants to turn left onto a busy street at rush hour let them wait for fuck’s sake. Right of way, right of way, right of fucking way! OK, so you’re from the Maritimes, it’s alright that the service everywhere is slow and not much is open on a Sunday, but there is an order to things on the street and other drivers need to be able to count on you driving in a predictable fashion. This also means using your turn signals! Don’t go out of your way to be an asshole, but a few more assholes on the streets of Halifax would be a great thing. Learn how to drive, know who has right of way and follow it every fucking time! Follow this simple advice and rush hour will run like a Swiss clock. On your feet? Look both ways and use a crosswalk. Those Crocs you’re wearing don’t give you the right of way wherever you please. To all Scotians reading: be an asshole. —Asshole in the Driver’s Seat

As a lefty, I take umgrage with your assertion that all left turning people should have to wait. We need a leftist revolution. Starting July 1st we all start driving on the opposite side of the road. Then, if you’re turning right you have to wait. How do you like them apples OP? Huh? I thought so.
thanks zzz, hey trood, a buddy has a little morris oxford from england. and i tried driving it once, and got all fucked up. takes a little while to relearn to drive on the other side. everything is reversed.
o.p. thinks it’s bad here in halifux, but you should try a quick drive on that german autobahn. now there is one fucking crazy road. you don’t venture out on that, unless you have a ferrari or some equally fast set of wheels. but yet, it is one of the safest hiways in the world. go figure that.
maybe we should increase the speed to say 75 mph, or about 120 kph.
Fuck I hate people that hold up traffic to let someone in or turn etc. Both parties should be shot.
Were you a cop on the autobahn, LS? Is that where you “took some lead”?
no harper, actually it was in the chinatown district of t.o., but you kneew that already, didn’t you. was in germany back in the early 70’s, doing my 3 year stint, like a good little canadian sucker. baden baden.
right over your head…
nice.
