ok…HOLY FUCKER….driving by the rules will avoid accidents. Sure people all have different places to be at different times. The roads are a labrynth of peoples prioities. HOWEVER use your fucking turning signals, check your fucking blindspots, drive at least the fucking speed limit, stay in your fucking lane, dont change lanes in the middle of A FUCKING INTERSECTION. Honestly, when I get cut off by someone, often they are very elderly or were liscensed to drive in a different continent. I am absolutly not being intolerent by saying that. ITS FUCKING SAFETY. If someone is trained to drive on one side of the road in a completly different culture, how can we expect them to be able to drive safely here? I have 2 brothers that live in Asia and I know they are not alllowed to drive with their Canadian licenses. If a person has dimentia and they get behind the wheel….. Take these common problems, add the fact that a lot of the drivers in HRM are from rural areas add the fact that the roads are often in ill repair add the construction and really what chance do we have on our raods. I think every city claims it, but I really think that HRM has the worst drivers in CANADA.

This is what I was saying last week. Shitty drivers cause the most collisions/accidents. Start fining them and throwing them in jail. Collision last week, someone pulling out of a driveway one person killed another injured badly; probably for the rest of their life. The drivers should be in jail. Mistakes cost lives, the person that makes the mistake should pay, and not just a $387.50 fine, jail time.
