OK, I didn’t think I would have to do this or submit anything like this to The Coast, but I have to. It’s the way people drive. Either they drive too slow, or they drive too fast for the conditions and are running stop signs.
I’m a professional driver who drives for a living, and the stuff happening every day on our roads is unbelievable. I’ve seen people cutting people off when they turned right in the middle of the highway! And don’t get me started on running red lights. For the love of god, people, there’s a Driver’s Handbook: please read it.
Texting, yeah that’s part of it, but when you’re supposed to be doing a hundred on the Circ and somebody’s doing 75, something’s wrong. People get frustrated when people sit in the left-hand lane, under the speed limit, thinking, “This is OK, it’s a 100-series highway, I can do what I want.”
For all that is holy, please learn to drive. I think to the left of your steering wheel is a turn signal; it works, so you should use it. And at night turn your headlights on cuz nobody can see you with your daytime running lights on and you have no back lights.

The OP is right.. drivers in this city are idiots, including the OP: for a ‘professional driver’, they ought to know that the circ’s speed limit is 80 km/h, and people should not be doing 100 on it.
Hilarious dude, the “circ” speed limit is 80, that means UPPER LIMIT. That person doing 75 is driving legally, while you on the other hand are speeding. You yourself exemplify the problems with many HRM divers: arrogance and aggressive driving. Go read the Driver’s Handbook yourself.
