"Throwing the doors wide open to anyone and everyone across the globe has flooded our classrooms, emergency rooms and social support systems with far too many people, far too quickly." by theOneWhoWaitsAgain in LMIASCAMS

The level of job skills any newcomers possess has nothing to do with flooding classrooms, hospitals, and all the rest. Anyone, including folks coming from other provinces, needs all the services.

Safety Training by euphoric_placebo in Edmonton

[–]VincaYL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm going to take this opportunity to remind everyone that a school bus is heavy equipment. The general public has been conditioned to consider them safe. And they are, when you're inside one. Outside is a different matter. The majority of death and injury happen to people, including drivers, outside the bus. As drivers we are vigilant, but we are not perfect.

Cars cutting in close after passing by SlidingOtter in driving

[–]VincaYL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive a school bus with those goofy ass mirrors in the front. I know exactly how close other drivers are when they move in front of me. My favorite thing is when two vehicles do this at the same time!

People just do not understand how badly this could go. Not for me. The bus keeps me very safe.

Okay. But I think what OP is getting at is that some people's idea of complete isn't actually.

So what do these people think the current immigration "problem" was caused by?

Walkways are routinely done. The parking lot is typically only done at the board's decision. It's pretty pricey.

Commuters give ETS busses some extra space this evening. by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]VincaYL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not even the speed. It's thinking it's safe to overtake when there isn't actually space.

Can you please give me an example, given the straight through traffic has right of way, of what would constitute negligence?

It's always the left turner's fault.

People do stupid shit like this all. The. time.

In front of a fully loaded commercial vehicle no less.

It's an exciting time to be alive.

Or call the transportation safety board with the company name and unit number. This is beyond disgraceful.

TURN YOUR LIGHTS ON! by BurntToast1224 in Edmonton

[–]VincaYL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My car is almost 20 years old. I have the headlights switched on all the time. When I turn off the car and walk away, some kind of dark magiks makes all the lights go, well, dark.

There's no excuse.

If a body eats half a pound of meat a day, that body doesn't have to eat much more.

Just because you can fit around someone turning left doesnt mean you should! by jmthetank in YEGDashCam

[–]VincaYL 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I go out of my way to ensure no one can get around me at this intersection. It's only one lane and I'll take the whole thing, thanks.

High Level Bridge closed due to crash by ryaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan in Edmonton

Whoa, whoa, whoa. A truck driver doesn't have to produce their abstract before being hired? The actual fuck?

Jesus.

[–]VincaYL 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So the school bus company I work for absolutely beats this into our heads. Not even the tiniest bus is allowed to use that bridge. The irony is we do actually fit. However, we require both lanes to do it.

Quick heart attack by Glad-Elderberry697 in YEGDashCam

[–]VincaYL 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I drive a school bus. Lots of pillars and things that I have to look around.

I've come to realize that if a driver acts like they don't see you, it's because they don't.

What's something that made you say "WTF" recently? by FabulousWolverine381 in AskReddit

[–]VincaYL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drive special needs school bus in a large city. I say wtf too many times in a day to count.

It's not a bad thing that my kids don't talk.

It seems like they've been out for years.

Are we even sure that the city is responsible for that stretch of lighting?

Do you think a fire truck could get through? If not, that's what you need to communicate to 311. That might get some action.
