Crazy young woman drives over 2 baby Quails behind Canadian Tire on Baron, couldn't wait for the guy in front of her who was waiting for the family of Quails to cross the road. Goes around the guy and kills 2 baby Quails. Then stops realized what she did and then drove off.

She was driving a convertible with specialized license plates and name of her business.

Quail babies we're in a panic couldn't jump the curb, parents flew into bush......

Unreal, Kelowna drivers are getting worse.

Entitled! :-X

Sad.
Funny how you can't even get people to act civil even with the company name on the vehicle

I have to apologize to the driver that I cut off in a roundabout the other day. In this case I had a laps and was the idiot!

We can all make mistakes and luckily this one did not end in an accident.

AverageJoe - do you remember the name of the business on the car? If it was me & I saw that and I knew the business name I would be on the phone in a heartbeat calling that business letting them know what you and others saw. Whether it's her business or not, when you have a business name plastered all over the vehicle you're driving you would think one would be more careful about how they drive. I know I would be.
A very well known company owner that I know of was seen many many times on Hwy.97 driving like an idiot. I saw it myseld one day and mentioned it to my cousin who was very good friends with his wife. His wife finally told him to knock it off as she was getting waaaay too many people talking to her about him driving like a moron.

I was waiting to cross Bernard to get my coffee and as the light started to turn a big blue pickup revved up to try and catch the light (he wasn't going to make it but who can tell a driver anything) ... next thing I know there is a tin kettle bouncing toward me from the rear bed of the pickup ...

I had to laugh ... the driver stops on the other side of the intersection, he probably heard the bouncy metal sound ... instant karma ...

I picked up the kettle and cross to him as he gets out ... a little snarky as I make some comment about running the yellow but I had a happy smile on my face as I say it ... (no need to see if he has a club in his back pocket like some drivers of trucks)

He goes his way ... I get back to my coffee quest ... but as I reach the same part of the intersection I notice something else on the ground ... SALAMI! An unopened package of regular salami must have fallen out too but since it was soft enough to go *plomp* I didn't notice it the first time ...

The driver had already gotten out of sight ... so I just slid the cold cuts into my pocket as payment for services rendered ...

Numourous peole texting or talking while driving at 100kmh today on the highway. Phone in full view. Including one goof with company name on the side.

Unbelievable. Where is the enforcement?

A modern epidemic.

I hope you contacted the Company. I e-mailed one just the other day and complained about one of their drivers on his phone.

I'd wager it was the owner of a granite countertop company.

There are many goofs out there. The police only have time for a few of them in any given moment.

You would lose that wager as it was a restoration company.

Young lady down at Strathcona Beach in a lifted black monster truck.

Made a bad wide turn into the parking lot and got too far wide of the black post. Which ended up tucked inside of the front drivers side wheel. All hung up on it.

I know it's bad but I had to chuckle as she tried to get the monster truck free of the hung up post. Much fail. Still hung up when I left.

Young lady - maybe drive something more suitable to your skill level. Like a Smart Car.

Probably Centre of Gravity genius fodder....
