Tried going to Costco in Richmond tonight around 8pm, hoping for a quick trip to grab a few items. As I approached the Great Canadian Way and Bridgeport intersection, I noticed the traffic light was out.
Four way stop at a major intersection in Richmond? 
Anyway, I made it through unscathed, got into the parking lot and noticed everybody was leaving. Turns out they were out of power.
As I was slowly making my way out of the parking lot, of course I saw two cars drive into each other in the intersection...

They were at least smart enough to pull over under the Hwy 1 overpass and let the stacked up traffic behind them pass. Quote:

I'm seeing a lot of timid drivers on the roads lately going 35-45 max.

I don't know what's wrong with that area, but there seems to be a power outage around there pretty often.

traffic rebound from covid seemed quite apparent
population growth = congestion/construction = drivers getting impatient and apathetic?
also driving up north and some dedicated passing lanes were as short as 400m, up a hill..basically no chance if you're sub-300hp unless you were almost kissing their bumper just before the lane starts. Around there was a GLC or whatever coupe crossover thing with baby on-board sign pulled over, soon after that doing 40kph over traffic flow again lol. one positive thing i noticed were even the lifted coal-roll truck bros stuck to fairly reasonable speeds and passed within safe margins

I think that would be a fun job. To ruin kids hopes and dreams.
I wonder if I can yell at them for their shitty performance

Well just look at these crashes that have happened in the last few weeks https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2024/0...dian-students/
Foreign national driving in the wrong fucking lane kills two international students https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2024/0...sh-fundraiser/
International student dies TWO DAYS after arriving in Canada almost guaranteed to be driving with other international students
Just glad they are killing each other and not killing families of people who are actually competent drivers..

Kinda cherrypicking...I mean also there's that one really high profile case of one guy killing 16 Canadians in Saskatchewan remember?
But yeah that's wild, what are the chances you go to another country thousands of miles away and crash your car into another Canadian?

There's a recent video going around reddit where an Indian woman learning to drive put it into reverse and just slowly goes backwards off a cliff, lol. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/.../111070284.cms
That's honestly the most avoidable vehicle death I've seen in a while.

You'd be fired after 1 day
Sample Google Review:
1/5 stars:
Would give 0 stars if I could, didn't care how I drove, stared at my tits the entire time, insisted that his lap was the best seat in the house, failed me and when I asked why stated that it was because I said that I don't like anal.

Call me an old fart, but I honestly think the average car is too fast now. 15 years ago I almost died in a 2005 Corolla because I thought I could accelerate past a truck, but fuck was I wrong. Now you have cars with 250+ hp, and driver abilities have not caught up with what the average car can do now.
And again call me old, but I think Teslas play a huge role in this. There's no doubt there's exponentially more Teslas in the lower mainland than elsewhere. You give the average shitty driver a car that can get to 60km/hr in a punch and suddenly you have everyone thinking they're Zhou Guanyu or...whoever the fuck was the last Indian F1 driver.
Vancouver is congested enough that it's almost impossible to go fast during the day, but also not so congested that assholes don't bother trying. Add that to the generally shitty level of driving abilities, the amount of retards who can't think remotely critically, and the large number of inconsiderate assholes who think their time is worth more than others, and you have what we have.
People driving in HOV lanes cutting in and out over solid lines, complete chaos at roundabouts, going straight through turn lanes, 7 cars turning left after the light turns red, Uber/amazon drivers parking wherever they want, truckers that have no business being behind any wheel, the list goes on.
