People who don't merge into the merge lane when they want to get into the far left lane. THey WAIT until there's NO ONE then they smear all the lanes without signalling. FFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!

I got tailgated for about 2kms on Glenmore this afternoon when returning the loaner car. By a Hiway9 semi. As if I could go any faster than the 80km/h limit - it was BUSY, rush-hour traffic.

How about 3 cars pacing each other? With nobody in front of them for a huge space. At exactly the speed limit.

How about a blond dingbat in a Chrysler Crossfire convertible camped in the left lane with a cellphone jammed in her ear. And the left signal light on for 2kms.

All this on Glenmore between 14th street and Deerfoot this afternoon at 5.

^LOL I saw the old man throwing bricks article as well. That was quite entertaining, but at the same time also true.

Some people threw rocks at my car before.
I've also had a few people spit at my side windows as well.

Overtaking on solid line is quite common, even I do it on daily basis. Cop's won't do anything.

My biggest peeves driving in China is three things:
1. People driving in between lanes and fail to stay in their own lanes, they seem to not know where the lanes are.
2. Motorcycles/scooters/bicycles that turn in FRONT of you without ANY signal or checking behind them for cars. I've had plenty of close calls with those who seems to be on a suicide attempt.
3. People who run redlights without checking for traffic or even slowing down. Government vehicles and construction trucks do this VERY often...

1) Mislabeled tools (from my previous thread)
2) People who get mad when I pass them from the right lane. (If I am doing this it means you are going to slow. MOVE OVER)
3) The Gardiner Expressway

And all I am going to say is: Minorities. They don't drive any different than anyone else. They are just more visible.
