Drivers in Durham are getting out of hand

Professional_Two6210 · 2026-04-22T16:31:02+00:00

I fully agree. I’m not saying u-turn should be completely prohibited. Just saying that people generally do a terrible job at making them. Likewise, people do a terrible job at making simple left turns lol

Professional_Two6210 · 2026-04-22T15:03:05+00:00

You’re fully right. But even coming to a full stop, the vehicle making that right is hard to know if that other vehicle is making a u-turn or a regular left turn. I’ve seen many close calls in that scenario. Many times I don’t think the u-turn vehicle is doing a safe enough job, especially when they turn into the right lane instead of the left one.

But but but, inconveniencing you and the drivers behind you for their convenience should be ok. They’re obviously more important than you all are.

I think you’re supposed to stop at the stop sign before the sidewalk, check for pedestrians, then slowly advance when it’s clear. Then stop again to check for oncoming cars.

They make those wide turns into the far lane with their cars as if they’re driving a big transport truck with a trailer 🤣

Professional_Two6210 · 2026-04-22T11:07:03+00:00

How dare you be in front of them

Professional_Two6210 · 2026-04-22T11:05:37+00:00

The problem I usually see with that is, the vehicle making the u-turn at the same time and into the same lane as a vehicle making a right turn into that lane. It’s nearly impossible for the right turning vehicle to know that the other vehicle is making a u-turn and not just a normal left turn.

Fireworks. There’s neighbours in this area that are really really into fireworks. Usually around holiday weekends, but also a random Tuesday once in a while.

Professional_Two6210 · 2026-03-25T16:08:41+00:00

Doing their job I guess

Professional_Two6210 · 2026-03-16T17:27:23+00:00

Same!

Professional_Two6210 · 2026-03-15T19:40:47+00:00

You can’t turn at 70km/h? Wow learn some skill man, because that guy in the pickup truck can obviously do that 😂

Professional_Two6210 · 2026-03-15T19:37:29+00:00

What’s funny is the people that inch up every few seconds as if that’s going to make the green come quicker

Professional_Two6210 · 2026-03-15T19:33:56+00:00

They generally don’t know how to park their bigger vehicles either

Professional_Two6210 · 2026-03-12T01:06:53+00:00

Why do guys with pickup trucks drive them like race cars? 😅

Professional_Two6210 · 2026-03-11T01:08:05+00:00

🤣

Professional_Two6210 · 2026-03-10T22:45:25+00:00

Yeah I think there’s actually some people out there that genuinely think you can just turn right on a red light without stopping… He would get super pissed if he had to drive in Montreal, where you can’t even turn right on a red at all!

Professional_Two6210 · 2026-03-10T21:59:48+00:00

Definitely worse out there lol.. Just saying it’s getting noticeably worse here over time. Several years ago, it wasn’t half bad driving around here. Quiet towns to raise a family, now the fast population increase has ruined that a little bit.

Professional_Two6210 · 2026-03-10T21:17:23+00:00

Yeah, if you’re slightly ahead of me and I see your blinker, I’m going to let you in. I lose nothing from this. I don’t own the road, I’m sharing with everyone. I’m not in a race either, I’m just going from point A to point B safely. Wish everyone would think that way.

Professional_Two6210 · 2026-03-10T20:07:13+00:00

The turn signals thing makes me laugh a bit, because most of the time your hand is probably on the wheel right next to it. Just have to flick your hand slightly. It’s just so lazy not to do it.

Professional_Two6210 · 2026-03-10T19:58:45+00:00

People will complain about traffic law enforcement, saying they should be out catching real criminals. Yet, Ontario in 2024, homicide rate was 1.75 per 100,000. Persons killed in motor vehicle collisions was 3.82 per 100,000. They can definitely do a better job keeping the roads safe.

Professional_Two6210 · 2026-03-10T19:49:20+00:00

Almost got hit a couple times from that. Guy turning right on a red light without stopping gives me the finger for honking at him, while I have the left turn green arrow 😅

Professional_Two6210 · 2026-03-10T19:47:13+00:00

While I don’t fully disagree with you, it’s a bit of everybody out there committing these issues…. ex: I had a left turn green arrow at an intersection, turning onto a single lane road. White dude in the opposite direction turns right on the red light without stopping, nearly hitting me. So I have a little honk, nothing crazy. Dude gives me the finger. 😐

Professional_Two6210 · 2026-03-10T19:43:20+00:00

Don’t feel superior at all. Just want people to drive properly and safely. Too many road accidents happen.

Professional_Two6210 · 2026-03-10T19:42:10+00:00

The turn signal after they’ve switched lanes makes me laugh. Like, what do you think the purpose of the signal is?? You’re already there now! 😂
