Once or twice a week I see some asshole pass the line of bumper to bumper traffic coming from Bedford and drive on the shoulder of the road to get into the bumper to bumper traffic heading to Burnside.
The shoulder of the road is not a lane. You don’t get to pass the 15 cars who are actually on the road and then jump the line. It’s bad enough having to watch over your left shoulder trying to merge into traffic without causing an accident but now I have to check my right hand side to see if some random moron just created his own lane and is trying to cut me off!?
And who are the fuckheads letting these people in? You can see he just made his own fucking lane! Don’t reward him by letting him merge in front of you. Stay bumper to bumper and don’t let these fuckers pass all the patient law abiding citizens who are actually on the road!
Just FYI, black Hummer who did this on Thursday morning. I reported you for dangerous driving and gave your license plate to the cops. Maybe they’ll do something, maybe they won’t but I’ll continue to report fuckers who do this and I won’t be letting you in front of me. —A normally patient commuter

Same goes to the asshats that drive past the line of waiting cars on quinpool outbound and try to butt in line at monastery…
I’m with you, OB, I cannot understand how some drivers think they are entitled to do as they please without regard for anyone else. I’d block the fucker any way I could. Kudos to you for reporting Mr. Hummer.
Or the morons who park their cars in ‘No Stop’ zones – there’s one particular jerk who parks in front of the McDonald building on Cunard & Robie almost every day at supper time rush hour, effectively screwing up a whole lane of traffic. One of these days, I’m gonna take a crowbar to his fucking windshield.
I hate these douches. And I never understand why people let them in. They would not be getting in front of me and if they ding the right side of my car have fun explaining that to insurance and the police since there was no right hand lane.
I can’t stand those entitled pricks that pull that shit. I refuse to let them cut in front of me and if they try to force their way in, I lay on the horn and flip them the bird. They can fuck right off.
Excellent bitch and good for you Op for reporting them
Maybe the drivers of Halifax should learn how to merge into a lane and use the ENTIRE merging lane instead of waiting for someone to let them in. Halifax drivers are the WORST!
Welcome to Halifax. Shit like that happens everywhere in this city. I saw a guy drive up over the curb to get ahead on Barrington.
Too much GTA can make screw with your head. Once while waiting behind some cars at a red light I had the thought of just driving on the sidewalk and plowing some people in the process. Obv I didn’t, but it’s strange to think all those days in Liberty City actually had an effect on me :P.
Actually there is a right side shoulder lane. It is called the EMERGENCY LANE and any unauthorized drivers there will get penalized, especially if said emergency lane is required for use by emergency crews and is blocked by some self-entitled moron who couldn’t wait their turn with the rest of traffic.
Just a few minutes ago I came off the MacDonald Bridge & someone pulled up beside me in the Bus only lane that heads up toward Victoria rd., that lanes has to turn right just past the Scotia bank into the Sportsplex MetroTransit Stop. I drove right beside them & wouldn’t let them into my lane. I’m just sick & tired of no enforcement by police of the BS that goes on at rush hour in these spots…I may only drive in rush hour traffic once in awhile…but if I see the same shit every time, in the same spots…it has to be happening all the time !
So if you were the person in the smaller car tonight…I’m the guy in the big blue truck ! Just so you know, blowing your horn & shaking your fist/finger at me didn’t hurt, your curses/prayers were not answered…I got home safe, have a nice evening ~:)
good one, More
Way to go More. It will get worse each day leading up to 2011. Merry Christmas, my ass.
and not only is it the usual bad city drivers. at christmas, you now have to deal with the out of town hillbillies who come down for weekend shopping adventures in the big city.
I hope I see one of these self-important asshats when I’m on my motorcycle sometime and have time to kill. I’ll slip between them and the real lane and make them wait for a few hundred cars to pass.
Of course, I would have to pass up all kinds of offers to let the two of us in, since people don’t know to keep false-laners out.
false-laners or faux-laners…love it ng^^
