Biggest Pet Peave(s) of BC Drivers

[geForce]

Errr... that link doesn't look safe... does someone want to try it first and tell me what it is?

[nature boy]

it's just a ghey japanese video about a humongoid bus that drives OVER cars, or alternatively cars can drive UNDER it. it's like a big tunnel on wheels (or rails, as it were).

-Drivers that signal left, then change their mind, then signal left again at the next street, then change their mind... then for some odd reason go for another few blocks and turn right instead.

[nature boy]

[geForce]

Drivers who drive at inconsistent speeds when they have a clear road ahead of them... so it'd be like 50 then 40 then 60 then 40 then 50 and so on.

[nature boy]

drivers that slow right down for no apparent reason. that happened to me today, some bimmer decided to turn out of home depot on gilmore in front of me, and slowed right down. i passed him and kept going at a healthy 60km/h, but he must have been going like 20. i lost him, got stuck at a light for a good 20 seconds, light turned green, i turned right and he still didn't make it to the intersection yet.

Morons who park too close to you. If I was less of a man I would have broken a couple dozen of the empty beer bottles that I had in my trunk under each of their tires.

HAHA did i ever tell you that story about that time i was at the canadian tire on cambie? i just had to pop in but the rooftop parking isn't free. normally i don't pay but i heard that they were pretty strict there so i was like, fine, i'll just pay it. i bought a ticket, left it on my dash and ran in. within minutes i was out, and this fat lady was standing at the ticket machine cursing it because she couldn't figure it out. so i was like, "hey you want my ticket? i was just in for a couple minutes. it'll save you money and the frustration of this machine". she laughed and said sure.

we walked to my car together, and there was this civic parked SO CLOSE to me that i literally would to have gone in through the passenger door, there was no if's, and's or but's about it. it was that close. so i said to her, "look at this idiot parking right here". and her response was:


"oh, do you want me to move?"


lolz.

[se7entse7en]

heh.

My passenger door doesn't unlock remotely. There's no keyed entry on my passenger door. I HAD to go in through the trunk.

[nature boy]

huh? your passenger door doesn't unlock? how odd. it's like that from the factory?

you should have just done what joe did when some dude parked really close, just swing your door open as hard as you can, and then clumsily get into the car. good old joe.

[se7entse7en]

The door unlocks from the inside, but not from the outside. It was like that ever since I got my security system put in. It never really bothered me before.

Joe did that? haha... awesome.

There was no way I could have got in though. Maybe I could have squeezed Ryan in... probably not though. I had to walk sideways just to get to the door.

[nature boy]

are you sure you don't hit "unlock" twice? that's how oem alarms work... but then i never had an aftermarket alarm (or at least one that i actually installed) before.

[geForce]

I think I've said this already, but...

Drivers who don't own up to their mistakes.
If they make a mistake and cut you off, they give you the finger like it's your fault.
If they forget that they need to turn left, they would stop at the intersection in the right lane and signal to get into the left turn lane. They're blocking the people behind them from going forward just so they're not inconvenienced because they missed the left turn.
If they forgot that they need to turn right, they would make a crazy right turn from the left lane.

They need to own up to their mistakes and find a safe place to turn around... don't inconvenience and make hazards for everyone else just so you can make your turn.

[Duncan]

i hate drivers who try to point out that it's my fault when i make a mistake so i just finger them

[geForce]

I can see if they make a big deal about you making a mistake that you'd finger them... but not if they're just like "wth?". I think if you almost caused an accident with them, they at least have the right to say "wth?".
