I’ve driven in plenty of cities including ones with much worse reputations – but I do not get Halifax drivers at all!
Basic, basic driving skills – if you cannot be sure that you can clear an intersection – DON’T ENTER IT. Why is it that I’ve been stuck so many times on Joe Howe trying to get on 102 because the entire intersection is blocked by idiots who start turning left off the exit and can plainly see that there’s no room for them?! It happens everywhere in the city. This isn’t complicated.
And yellow lights?! They don’t mean jump on the gas and cut off the poor sod trying to make a left turn. And reds – they mean stop. Really. Not just haul around that right turn and again almost nail the guy finishing the left. —I wish I were HRP – I’d write so many tickets…

“And yellow lights?! They don’t mean jump on the gas and cut off the poor sod trying to make a left turn.” This exact thing happened to me today on the way home. lol I was shocked to see the red coupe go across the intersection after I turned. He must have gone through a red. Some people are in real hurry these days.
Funny, because Im pretty darn sure when your travelling straight and the green turns to yellow you still have the right away all the way until its red. People turning left on a yellow still have to watch for people running the yellow. I dont give a flying fuck if your turning, stay on your side of the road and turn once all the cars have gone through, whether the light is red or not. If you get stuck in the middle of the intersection during a red light your a fucking moron and should have stayed behind the line untill you got the next light. Two years ago some chick smashed me and i was going straight on a yellow, she turning left. Wrote off both vehicles but everyone was fine. Her douche boyfriend gets out and says didnt you see me? I said dont you know I have the right-of-way I dont give a fuck if I saw you, must have been going 70 around the left turn becuase when she t-boned me, the van I was in was pushed by her tiny Golf about ten feet. Guess who’s insurance it went throught….. not mine.
I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to move into the intersection when turning left…
and it’s the fucktards that sit back and wait until there’s a 12 car gap to get their big fucking buick ass around the turn, thus wasting several potential turns for those poor suckers behind the old bag….
Here is the problem:

The old one used to say do not enter the intersection unless the exit is clear. (I’m sure of it) This one does not. It spends too much time trying to teach the dummies basic physics. If you couldn’t pass it in high school you should not be driving.
But oh right… that is a comment on the bitch. I forgot we’re here to insult each other…
Nice Goin Fat’s face is what you get when you puke on a cow pattie and let it bake in the sun for a few days.
better than being the cow patty… isn’t it there, oldhandjob?
Whatever. Your participation does not validate him in any way whatsoever.
In fact, you’re helping me out here. Keep it up.
see, I’m not looking to ‘validate’ squat.
personally, I think you’re both morons.
I just think Fat’s a funny moron and with you…
well let’s just say the weave in your nut-hair is becoming unraveled.
