  • This stupid driver figured that rather than have common courtesy and drive close to the posted 60km speed limit, they'd rather do 20km!

  • 2008-06-30 07:18, southbound 14 St NW. Speeding and tailgating, numerous lane changes. Are you aware that, according to law, you are automatically at fault if you rear-end someone? Sooner or later....

  • The driver of this business van decides it would be fun to tailgrate other driver, travelling at > 20km above the speed limit, and cut other drivers off just to get in front of them in a red light, and cut other drivers off just to exit / enter a ramp. It's quite interesting to see people doing such stupid things when they are driving a company owned vehicle. Perhaps road curtecy comes with a price. The following information are printed in the back of the van: "Van # 103 - Big Al's Texturing Ltd. Specializing in All Your Wall & Ceiling Needs (Knock Down, Span-Tex) 461-3374" P.S. If you can't go above 100km/h, try press your foot harder to the gas pedal instead of giving the driver in front of you a finger. Not only they can see you in the rear view mirror, showing off your middle finger (unless it has a diamond ring) will only disgrace yourself, your passenger, and your company.

  • Yield to the right of way. Don't run stop signs and wait for your turn, especially if other driver honk at you.

  • I was driving along on the Pacific Rim Highway when this old man lunatic pulled out of a side street, crossing traffic in an attempt to get in front of me. I had 2 young children in my truck with me, and thankfully their seat belts work because I had to slam on my breaks in order to miss this idiot by a mere inch. If you want to commit suicide, DO NOT INVOLVE OTHERS! This idiot deserves to have his license stripped and put into an old age home!

  • She was driving with excessive speed,about 40-50 km above speed limit on June 26, 2008 around 1340 hrs westbound on SE Marine Drive past Knight Street Bridge. Very impatient and ignorant driver. Ran a red light, made an illegal U turn. Was also putting on make-up at the previous red light.

  • Driver was pulling out from the side street and didn't have a good look at the traffic on the main street. When the driver was on the main street, she was only doing 40 km/h on a 50 km/h zone (which is I guess acceptable). Then she blew through a playground zone doing the same speed (not acceptable) and didn't see someone trying to cross the street on a marked crosswalk inside the playground zone. She was so late in responding that the person had crossed the street before she reacted by slamming on her brakes... sigh... maybe the driving task was too much for this driver.

  • This plate had been filed before at http://canada.platewire.com/viewrate.aspx?rid=944. June 23, 2008 at 16:12 traveling northbound on Center Street. The Elentra was once again seen doing dangerous lane changes. It was heavy traffic and at one point, the Elentra was tailgating a silver Honda CRV where it cut to the right then cut right back in front of the CRV, all without any use of the signal. The Elentra was seen continuously tailgating and if you were going slow (according to the male driver's standard) he would dangerously cut you off by going around you at close proximity. The male driver looked to be in the late 40s and was also seen checking out girls on the sidewalk when driving up to the Beddington Blvd and Center St intersection. This dude has issues.

  • June 22 2008 15:53. The vehicle was speeding on Sandstone Dr Playground Zone northbound then u-turned and continued to speed through the playground zone. There were kids everywhere at the time at the soccer games. This female driver showed a complete disregard of everyone's safety.

    Spinning my wheels.   Wednesday, June 25, 2008

     I can't help but think what a waste of time it is posting plate numbers of bad drivers.

    I've posted on this site and after too many errors logging in, went to aother site, where I made several posts.

    Really, though, nobody cares.

    I bet someone files for me   Friday, May 02, 2008

     I have a hunch that my plate will end up in here one day. Why? I drive the speed limit. I actually STOP at Stop signs. I signal my turns. I obey the lights. And for lots of reasons--I don't want a ticket, sure; but the rules are for a reason and I am often in the car with my family. I drive safely to protect them more than anything. Can you imagine, "slow driver" will be what they say about mine :P

    Canada Worst Driver: Vancouver 2 years in a row   Wednesday, April 09, 2008

    In todays News1130 news story, they tell us that the Canadian Worst Driver series which is on the Discovery Channel  is returning to Vancouver.  For the last two years, the worst driver is from Vancouver.  Producers of the show ay they aren't sure why but Vancouver just seems to have some dreadful drivers.

    Sorry.   Tuesday, April 08, 2008

    Sorry, but with the cost of:

    speeding tickets,

    insurance, and

    gasoline,

    I can no longer afford to speed.

    BREAKFAST, on the go!   Monday, April 07, 2008

     I saw a first today, a woman eating CEREAL in her car, while driving. Not a cereal bar. A BOWL of cereal, balanced on the steering wheel, spoon and all!
