This goes out to the teenaged driver of the silver Toyota Corolla (circa 04-05) who has the cover for her gas tank taped shut with black electrical tape.
PLEASE learn how to drive. Go back to driver training, listen to what they have to say. You successfully cut me off 3 times yesterday, at 3 different places, during rush hour in the morning, at noon and again at 4pm. I’m not sure why you weren’t in school during those hours.. but I’m sure you’re the only person with black electrical tape on your car.
If what your friends in the backseat have to say is more important than paying attention to the road and uh.. me keeping my LIFE, then please turn in your keys and go back to riding Metro Transit.
p.s – The construction on the overpass means that of the 3 lanes, one is traffic coming at me head on. Attempting to push me over by one lane will get me killed. DON’T do it again.

I’m gonna go ahead and call BULLSHIT on this one. What are the chances you get cut off 3 times in one day by the same random car?? Oh and double = 2, not 3.
in halifax, very fucking likely.
Maybe she liked you.
The odds of getting cut off by the same person three times in one day are probably the same as the odds of meeting the same car on the way home in Halifax three days in a row….and that person living in the same building in Dartmouth. And that’s happened.
It was definitely the same car… I know this because of the black electrical tape holding the door to the gas tank shut. I’m fairly certain it’s the only silver corolla with that feature, driven by a teenage girl.
I know this is unusual, which is why I posted it.. getting cut off multiple times in a day in Halifax is common, getting cut off by the same person multiple times in the same day is unbelievable.
Urgh.
