Yes, I have an evil streak. I own it, baby.


We should have paint ball guns and mark the cars with idiot drivers. When a cop sees a car with 3 or more marks on it they get a ticket.

And I get a gun that shoots multiple paint balls per second! lol

The idiot in the white ford sedan that passed me on Benvoulin today doing at least 30k over the limit would have many paint markings on hit trunk!

Two Tonne Tesse in her blue CRV just about side swiped me twice in less than a K
through an S bend in the hwy.
Way over driving her limited abilities.

She was crammed into the drivers area so tight, the steering wheel was not free to
move as it was tight against her legs and stomach.

Yet she was attempting to be the fastest vehicle on the road. PO'd lots of people
as a few caught up to her, raced past her, then hacked her off aggressively.

It was scary to see, her trying to maintain a 120 plus speed but not able to move the steering wheel
smoothly, just in sticky, jerky, actions, like it was notched.

She turned and headed up Baily rd.

Well, she wasn''t texting OR have a dog on her lap, so I guess there is that !

It's bad enough when people on mobility scooters are riding in the bike lanes but then traveling the wrong direction as well is total idiocy!

No wonder so many are getting hit on the roads, some of them have no clue!

There's a woman who does this on a regular basis, I've played chicken with her in the bike lanes ... unfortunately she doesn't quite have the capacity to understand why it's a bad idea, I've discovered this after numerous tries to talk with her about it ... I just keep my fingers crossed that she doesn't run across a distracted driver ...

I believe I've had encounters with this same person, as I see it she is hazard to herself & others on the road.

Female in the Jetta turning right onto Westlake from Industrial Rd: that's a red/white yield sign, which means no one on Westlake EVER has to stop for you and let you in, YOU STOP FOR THEM. It made no sense that you honked and shook your fist at people lined up and then cut off the cyclist in the bike lane to drive in it. Your Jetta is NOT a bicycle. Although, you did turn right onto Hwy 97, and no, the bike lane is not a turn lane extension either.

Stupid girl. Stupid, stupid girl.

I see people constantly driving in bike lanes and using them as turning lanes. So many people don't have a clue. Another one that gets to me is when people are lined up waiting for a light to turn they will totally block cross streets. Idiots all of them.

snip! 189 (1) Except when necessary to avoid conflict with traffic or to comply with the law or the directions of a peace officer or traffic control device, a person must not stop, stand or park a vehicle as follows:

(a) on a sidewalk or boulevard;
(b) in front of a public or private driveway;
(c) in an intersection, except as permitted by a sign;snip!

BC plate BR272• black shiny Telsa.

I knew you were a real jerk when you drive down Springfield and ignored the gap I'd courteously left for you to merge into.

You kept going along the right hand lane then at the last minute cut off a car as you bailed into the left lane. That last second turn signal wasn't much use.

You proved you were a total wad when I pulled up alongside you as you were texting making your right turn.

Nice car but dude, you're a real idiot. Learn to drive and put the phone down. Maybe upgrade to something with Bluetooth. Like, a real car.

And the lovely young lady riding her scooter in rush hour traffic wearing a skimpy almost-bikini, no shoes - I hope you never need skin grafts. Jeez....

Must be idiot Friday.
