Dear drivers of Halifax,
Thanks to the four drivers on my morning commute who so helpfully stopped their cars and suggested I make an illegal left turn without a right of way. Three of you suggested I should run over three different pedestrians, while the fourth thought I should be happy to be run over by on-coming traffic in another lane. All of you got pissed-off when I refused your “courtesy”. Thanks, but no thanks.

Pretty sure it didn’t happen that way… maybe you should stay in Dartmouth.
“four drivers on my morning commute” and “All of you got pissed-off” makes this sound bogus.
I’m guessing the OB is really just pissed-off that courteous drivers were letting other people make left turns …. and slowing the OB’s drive by a few seconds each time. Oh, the horror!
All I heard was “blah blah blah, I can’t drive. I should take the bus”.
However… I have seen Halifax drivers STOP at a green light to let someone turn without looking to see if the other lane is clear. If said person takes that turn and gets side-swiped, the “courteous” person who signaled dude to turn has no fault.. but he is totally the cause of the accident! In fact I saw a delivery truck ram a car that took the “courteous” drivers signal to turn and almost got killed for it.. his car was a write-off.. thanks for letting me turn in front of you.. you’re so kind…
