How about those change beggers at the traffic lights at the top of Duke St? I’ve affectionately come to know him as “Cuppy the cup”. He’s signalling me at the red light, like “you wanna put some money in my cup?” I’m all “what the fuck for? You didn’t clean my windshield or dance for me, not even a olympic type manoeuvre. Nothing”. So “Cuppy” get the hell out of traffic.
How would it be your fault? These dicks are the ones jaywalking, but think they have all the rights in the world. I had 2 women on Hollis cross in front of me when I had the green. When I laid on the horn, one yelled that she had the right of way because she was in a crosswalk!! I had to stop to explain to this moron that that only applies when she has the green. Hard to believe what these people are thinking.
Don’t worry. She won’t be around long enough to read this if she keeps doing that. You missed her, but the next guy ….
You don’t say where exactly on Coburg she was crossing, but ‘right across from Kings’ there’s another street that makes a t-intersection with Coburg. I’m sure an excellent driver such as yourself knows that there’s an implicit crosswalk at all intersections, which means that yes, the dumb Kings kid had right of way.
spring garden rd is getting bad.. people running across the st, coming out between two parked cars and not even stopping to see if there is fucking traffic coming.. ITS 5 PM!! THERES GOING TO BE CARS DRIVING!.. almost smushed someone talking on their cell phone.. didnt stop,, didnt look.. just walked out.. no crosswalk or anything..stupid people.. i would hit you if i know i could get away with it!
Are you people on crack?Your talking/fantasizing about killing people!Jesus!Accept the fact that when driving downtown people can be distracted by all the traffic and noises etc. and slow the fuck down.Expect people to do the wrong thing be they driver or pedestrian because we’re all flawed.
