Re: Who Are Better Drivers?
#1. failing to check ‘blind spot’ and CHANGING LANES, bumping me into the bridge’s curb with heavy snow causing my car to turn on two wheels on MY side and then coming back on road, upon stopping by my fellow colleagues, seeing my car’s result and running off - with expired insurance, invalid plate sticker. 6 months prison and $5000 fine, driving privileges taken away for 1 year.
#2. failing to check oncoming traffic at 80km (50MPH) and making a left turn, at speed of 40km, not being able to see me come (on my green, her red) and doing a hit-on. 3point careless driving ticket, 2 point failure to obey traffic light, 2 point ticket for not wearing a seat-belt, and a total financial hit of $10,000. (where i felt bad and didnt claim my day’s salary and medical expenses).
#3. stopped on red light, (so ZERO speed), other driver crashed in:
- on coming
- ON MY FRONT FROM MY SIDE OF THE ROAD (meaning came in my lane)
- broke signal she couldnt see
- charged with DUI, failure to obtain proper identifications, and attempting hit-n-run, dont wanna quote the $ of fines involved, 1 year community service, can no longer drive in canada. two priceless lives lost
paki pride now make me a believer…
two weeks ago, i was transporting not-so-active-guppie: janu-jia and her son from my place to her place in scarb, and this car, gosh knows WHAT had crawled up driver’s butt, is RIGHT on my tail… and traffic is stopping in front of me.. so i to the ‘flashing signal’ meaning i’m gonna stop.. then i stop, instead of stopping, car goes in left lane, without seeing that a faster-speed car (it is left land, :p) is passing OVER as she’s changing lanes, sees car AS the passing car hits her, STILL doesnt learn, tries to change lanes AGAIN (back in my lane, behind me) gets ‘california swing’ from the first car cuz its stuck to its bumper, comes on jia’s side, me watching this split-second scene, drop the gear, go on shoulder and just TAKE OFF!
result? she hits the car right in place of what would’ve been my car..
seeing/repeatedly-seeing examples from my circle of family friends and coworkers is ONE thing.. being involved first-hand due to stupidity is another..
yeah sure u will always have like one odd one here’n there.. but mass? tsk tsk tsk .. all i can do is shake my head..
