  • Location: Celeste Cres. Date: Aug. 25, 2008 Time: 3:13 pm Violation: There IS no way you could not realize that by parking on the "No Parking" side of the street that you were blocking the road almost entirely!! How many cars had to worm past -and a few gesticulating- for you and bud to keep talking and ignoring the rest of the world. The pal in that house and their friends block the road too many times...time to report it to the city.

  • Aug 22, 2008 at around 3:50pm on 4th St northbound heading toward centre street, seen close to Safeway on 4th St. The male driver, with a car full of kids in the backseat, first ran a stop sign to get onto 4th St then was seen tailgating as he moves ahead.

  • Turning left at an intersection where the turn arrow was showing on the signal, the Corolla slammed on the brakes at at end of the turn when he/she should be accelerating causing people behind to also brake hard. Then the Corolla was going 40 km/h in a 50 km/h zone which is fine, but then the driver sped through a playground zone... which leads me to believe the driver can barely drive which cause him/her to ignore some of the traffic control signs (such as speed limit signs, playground zone signs) out there. This could be very dangerous if the drive missed a stop sign or a red light.

  • 9 a.m. Aug 21, 2008 at the intersection of 16 Avenue/southbound Deerfoot Trail offramp. The Saturn made the westbound to southbound left turn when the signal has turned red for a couple of seconds. The southbound through traffic had the green and were approaching the intersection. The Saturn decided to run the red light and proceed into the intersection and blocked the traffic going southbound. There was a sign prohibiting left-turn on red. The driver is just an idiot.

  • If I were you, I would first learn how to park properly, then I will think of buying your car. By the way, $29,900 is too $$ for a gas guzzling SUV driven by an owner who takes TWO parking stalls just to show off his car. I would lower the price to << $25,000 before anyone would even consider.

  • Jerk of the day comes in many forms, including PRIUS drivers. I was slowing down to ~ 90km / h (speed limit=110km/h) heading towards a highway exit. This stupid prius driver pushes his car to go ahead of me in the fast lane, cuts me off in close and short distance and slows down to less than 50 km/h so he can negociate a 270 degree turn (3/4 of a circle). Please note there is NO cars behind me, but this scumbag finds it cool to accelerate in the fast lane, pass my car, cuts me off, and slows down just so he can safely exit the ramp to another highway. Doing so force me to slam on my brakes so I won't rear end his car. 1. If you can't negociate a turn at your current speed, why don't you slown and go behind another car instead of cutting them off and hopes they rear end you so you can get a new car? Take note that a Prius is not a sports car and it does not have the handling characteristics of a sports car. If you want handling and performance, ditch the Prius and get a car that satisfy your driving desire. 2. Obey the traffic rules. Driving a hybrid does not give you the right to speed up behind cars, pass them, and cut them off just so you can get to work on time. 3. Don't underestimate other drivers. They might take a photo of your car and report to the police.

  • The award to the only person left in on a highway lane when an ambulance is behind them, is you! Congrats! Not only do you not slow down or change lanes, despite more than adequate space as illustrated from the 10 cars behind and in front of you whom correctly vacated to the right. But alas, you decide you are completely docile and decide to 1) change lanes and leave a mile-wide gap 2) a few minutes later, speed past everyone and tailgate a car 3) slow down to a crawl again. Bipolar driving indeed! I hope you get the help you clearly need.

    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

    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!
