I would like to cast my vote to have the term "Sunday drivers" changed to be "Saturday drivers".
It was incredible the stupidity that was taking place on our lovely 400 / 401 / 403 / QEW highways this afternoon.
There were the typical cases of cars driving parallel to each other and not aknowledging the fact that they are causing a traffic jam, but today's stupidity was even more special.
Example 1:
Driving on the 400 south.
A truck on the very far right lane loses its cargo into the same lane.
There is neither a car in front, nor a car behind this truck, yet I, and everyone else in the 5 other lanes had to slam on the brakes as to avoid smashing into the morons ahead. 5 lanes when the trouble was in the far right (6th lane).
Example 2:
Driving on the 401 west.
In the area where the 401 west becomes 5 or 6 lanes after the 427, I met up with some complete retard in a black mustang. I needed to take the 403 - QEW Hamilton exit so I'm flying (140km/h) in the far right lane and have this retard tailing me the whole time. He then makes the effort of passing and cutting me off. Then he slows down to around 90km/h for no reason at all. I notice him looking at me in the rear-view to show how cool he is. I motion for him to speed up, which he doesn't, so I go around him and assume my dealings with this retard are over. Oh no... once he sees that I am coming up fast on a van, he takes off and tries to block me in the lane. I'm not shy when it comes to cutting people off, so I cut his ass off hardcore. I look back and he's just grinning like a fool. He chose me of all people to play driving games with. Too bad he didn't know that I can piss farther than he can.
Example 3:
Driving on the QEW - Hamilton.
The 'Third Line' exit is closed off for construction. It is signed well in advance so everyone is aware. There is no current road work and no lane reductions or restrictions. The entire crowd of cars has to slam on the brakes and go from 130km/h to stop and go traffic. Once we pass the exit we are back to full speed traffic again. One day I might get an understanding of what people are thinking in situations like this.
Example 4:
Driving on the 403 east.
This drive was the least stressful of all the trips I made today. The only issue I had were people who have no idea how to drive aggressive, driving aggressive. Rather than zig-zagging, everyone made the effort not to let the other in at any chance. Those people driving in the middle lane with km's between them and the next car but nobody can merge into the lane because they keep adjusting their speed to stop you.
So, when its your turn to vote to rename "Sunday drivers" to be "Saturday drivers", make sure you vote Yes on 24.
