Hey fuckface in the silver Saturn Ion “merging” on to Portland Street toward Cole Harbour from highway 111 at 10:30 Monday night. YOU SEE THAT UPSIDE DOWN RED AND WHITE TRIANGLE!?!? That is what civilized society likes to call a fucking YIELD SIGN! When you see one, YOU YIELD TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC! Which is what you should have done tonight, but instead you came whipping around the corner without looking and almost sideswiped me/caused me to rear-end you! You see, I was minding my own business driving down Portland St past Penhorn when you decided to just pull out when I HAD THE RIGHT OF WAY! Thankfully I have some good defensive driving skills and managed to avoid your moronic ass. Next time wake up, open your eyes, obey traffic laws and wait until oncoming traffic is past you before pulling out. —Pissed-Off Fellow Saturn Driver

I think a lot of Nova Scotians forget what a Yield sign is for.
i would guess the majority of drivers couldn’t identify half the road signs they see…unless it’s a timmies sign(sorry sucks)
I think the real problem is your both driving plastic cars…
yes…. ewwwwwww, saturns.
what ever happened to that nice saturn roadster they were going to bring out?
have yet to see one of them…
and I think they know this sign…

Yeah plastic cars. No rust and one kick breaks all the ice off in the winter. 😀
Not to mention if you DO get in to an accident the likelihood of a hideous ding is dramatically decreased!
For anyone who cares, they stopped making the polymer sided models in 2007 when the introduced the Astra.
demolition derby time friend, do them up.
zZz, that was the sign i was conceived under. i think, anyway, my old man was too in the bag to remember.
This stretch of portland, going both ways, is always a spectacle of selfishness. It took 10 years of travelling it before I realized the fun it can be if you’re not in a hurry. Own your space OP. If you’ve got right of way, steady pace it. Going the opposite direction, just passing the McCdonalds intersection, I was in the right lane going straight toward penhorn. A steady stream of lefty-go-righty-passies always tries to merge 2 lanes over onto the highway. Anyways, this particular time, some old couple actually merged slowly right into me like I wasn’t there. I mean..c’mon. A caravan going 60 in a 60 zone, going in a straight line,should be easy to see. I can’t prove my mind reading abilities, but I know they thought I was part of the pack merging over too.
They tried to lay blame on me for not being in their lane and for not deciding to merge when I need to last minute. Anyways, It was all pretty funny. I wasn’t in any hurry. They were pissed. And had to foot the bill too. Hurray for minding my own business on the road and coming out on top for once.
LOL….damn, I missed an almost accident.
