Every time I’m driving down Quinpool road during rush hour it drives me absolutely CRAZY when people go in the right lane and speed by your slow going left lane when they know very well that there’s going to be cars parked on the side of the road. I doubt you’re in that much of a hurry that being ahead 3 cars will really get you there that much faster. Also, when you’re going down Quinpool and you finally get close to the rotary, the people who pay absolutely NO ATTENTION to the signs above that clearly state if you want to be in the middle lane at the rotary stay in the right lane from Quinpool (which I always do even though it takes a bit longer) and they think they can just slide in front of me into the middle lane with no blinker what so ever. NO! I will never EVER let you in front of me. It’s traffic, deal with it and stop being so god damn pushy. —Push me once, shame on you, push me twice… shame on you

Re: Entering the round-a-bout from Quinpool. Yeah, I don’t know which is worse; morons who cluelessly drive from the left lane into the middle lane or the ones who scum-in without signaling, often cutting someone off. Some people will actually honk at you if you drive from the right lane into the middle lane (as per the signage and pavement lines), advertising to all that they are one of the aforementioned ‘morons’ or ‘scummers’.
this is basically a rehash of the last one we had, a day or two ago. see the one about sitting on the bus for your answer o.p.
unless you have a beemer, you are no one, only those select few, are allowed to rule the road. even my lincoln mark 7, has to take a backseat to those elite few asshles.
The city should not allow parking on Quinpool, or other major thruway streets in HRM during rush-hour traffic. That would solve this problem and lessen traffic congestion. OP, just don’t let them merge in….block them with all your might.
i so agree with this post! i hate the cars that park on quinpool, and the people that think they can get ahead of you by speeding down the right lane until the come to the parked cars. and some of them don’t even signal… that burns me even more!
