| Ok seriously, vancouver drivers REALLY suck when the traffic light is broken
Near SFU today there was a blackout or something (I think) and the traffic lights along Hastings near Duthie/Inlet were out. So it was supposed to be a four way stop.
What happens? I see a guy trying to turn left, but oncoming traffic didn't even stop at all. He had to wait for 5-6 cars in a row before finally the 7th car stopped.
You know what else is funny, it was ONLY the oncoming left lane that didnt' stop. The slow and curb lane stopped. I know it's very unfair to say this, but it just makes me think those people who didn't stop are examples of some idiots who think just because they are in the fast lane they can do w/e the hell they want and not pay attention. I bet they were thinking "haha suckers there's a jam up ahead but im in the left and passing you fools!", when in reality they are fucking idiots who are running a 4-way stop.

They may be the idiots, but they are also in the majority..
I think a lot of people know that when lights don't work you are suppose to follow the stop sign rule, but they disobey because they don't care. I've been on a side street trying to turn left on Hastings and cars keep going. So the only way to get people to stop was to inch and inch forward, eventually they stop..People know the rules, but they don't care, that's the problem..

people here just don't know how to drive, I've heard storys about families moving here and then thinking they can drive just because one person in the family has a licence. Then theres the people that just pay off the driving school instructor to get there licence, heard that a couple of times, it's simply people don't know how to drive or don't care to know.

A few months ago this middle-aged Asian almost hit my car because he didn't stop @ an intersection when there was a black-out. IMO, I don't think he knows (which doesn't make it any better) about the 4-way thing when the traffic lights aren't working.

thats what pisses me off
dumb people who don't know the fuckin rules
I mean, when we have flashing reds on all 4 lights, the city actually BRINGS OUT stop signs and places them at the intersection. Seriously if people weren't dumb this wouldn't be necessary.

Richmond is so safe now because the speed of traffic does not exceed that of a parking lot....the worst accident that can happen is a light tap.

I think most people know the rules, they just don't give a fuck to follow them...their mentality is why should i stop when every other car keeps on going through.

ok not really a gong show but it did piss me off how dumb some people are.
Seriously fucking cops why can't there be someone there to ticket these idiots. They'd make a ton of money from the tickets.

i finished lunch and sushi california in lougheed today after classes at SFU.
in the parking lot waiting for a spot, i see a mustang behind a white 335i.
white 335i reverses, i can see that the car has Rear Parking Aid because of the little circles in the rear bumper, reverses, reverses, hits the mustang.
if the car didn't have rear parking aid it'd be a different story...

Doesn't matter if traffic lights don't work or is working at all. Vancouver drivers have the "I'm the f'ing king of the road" attitude.

If someone isn't moving when they should be, analyze the situation first before laying the horn. Might be a pedestrian, might be a bird or cat or dog. You're farther back you can't see. In some cases it's the reverse, you're farther back so you CAN see, but they can't (ie. left turns). Also, don't be a little bitch whining about drivers stopping on the boundary rd on ramp when you know full well the ramp is not up to standards lengthwise compared to a regular on-ramp. Therefore, drivers don't like risking running out of room. You know the boundary ramp before this change was longer (but still short compared to other ramps), but it was actually possible to merge safely + you have the shoulder. Now they got rid of the shoulder and shortened the ramp even more. It's clearly a danger zone.
I don't mean thinking someone is doing nothing wrong when they blatantly break the law by running a stop sign or red light (which can also potentially cause harm to you and others).
lol please use some common sense instead of applying what i said to every situation.

this thread isn't about the left lane. And this thread was made on sept 26. It's not a new thread.
Seriously do you just jump into random threads and attack the OP while not contributing anything at all?
I can't count how many posts I've seen from you where you were being all e-thug and talked about beating the shit out of people (mostly it's towards someone who disagrees with your viewpoint).
