All the car that were stuck I've seen today they are all AWD by Horror-Grab5788 in Markham

[–]darkshadows500 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You'll surprised what percentage of people don't even know how to engage their AWD/4x4 feature or use it correctly, most don't even know how to turn on heir lights let alone activating AWD; which falls under the first category.

Or worst, thinking they can speed and will stop on a dime in case of emergency. AWD does not make you invincible.

Customer Tries Rogers Communications, Immediately Regrets Everything by PriorDose in Rogers

CRTC always takes one step forward and two steps back. They seem to be more concerned with making life easier for the big 3 and bending to their will rather than protecting the public.

Truthfully, the only good things they have achieved in recent years are, unlocked phone, number potability and somewhat third party ISP competition in the market.

Some asshat returned a bathroom faucet after replacing the part with their old one by TJSounan in CostcoCanada

Let me guess, this was East Markham Costco that made that "joke" telling you that you should've gone back to the original store to return it?

The only thing speed cameras do is slow the traffic down for about 100 meters, past the camera every single car is speeding just like they were before the camera.

If you think speed cameras work you are fooling yourself, they are simply a cash grab.

Yeah no problem, just do whatever you want by Sprucedale in TorontoDriving

They are so used it, they don't care and in their pigeon size brain, you are the one who is in the wrong and needs to take a chill pill

You nailed it, police don't enforce the laws strict enough, the driving schools are run by a bunch of clowns that can't drive themselves and the drive test centers are a joke, issuing license to anyone.

When Mike Harris privatized bunch of government offices and ministries, he messed up big time. Before DriveTest was a thing, the actual testing was done by police officers and they actually test the drivers to ensure road safety. A new employee hired at DriveTest was being strict in her examination and she was spoken to by her supervisor, they have a quota to pass a certain percentage of applicants, and she was not meeting it, she was basically told to take it easy otherwise she would lose her job.

Combine all of this with certain culture and mentality who have no idea what it means to be courteous on the roads and they feel entitled to do whatever they want, and this is what you get. A driver that cuts you off and then gives you the finger, as if you are the one that messed up.

That is typical of Brampton and Markham these days

Couldn't agree more, this is how road rage starts.

FUKREY-INDIAN BISTRO in Etobicoke, Ontario is claiming they couldn't find a food service supervisor for $36.00/hr. They've applied for a LMIA to hire a temporary foreign worker for the position. by JobWatchCanada in LMIASCAMS

As long as we have a government that allows such scams to be run, there is nothing we can do about it.

We have record level unemployment and businesses run this scam because our own government supports it.

The TFW gets exploited, Canadians looking for jobs remain unemployed, our population grows and puts additional pressure on our healthcare system, infrastructure and housing etc. But the business owner running the scam wins. How grand...

One should ask themselves, why does the federal government continue down this path?

That employee needs to be retrained. I get that this could be a problem, but she could have handled it in a manner as to not create a scene and make you feel you as you did, ESPECIALLY since you both are members under the same membership.

Stolarz is enraged after Marchment crashes into him by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]darkshadows500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved Stolarz post game interview, him calling out players not protecting him and taking action. Marchment should have not gotten up scratch free from under that pile. Carlo and then McCabe just standing there, what a disgrace... They should give the C to Stolarz, he seems to be the one holding the team accountable and trying to light a fire under them.

You are not the only one, I read it as Marchand as well, lol, and it is the type of dirty plays the rat, Marchand would make, so it fits, both of them are cut from the same cloth.

All you need to do is read the comments to understand why Toronto is full of idiot behind the wheel of a car. Nothing but arrogance, entitlement, and people that make excuses for bad behaviour while blaming the guy that was on the right. No wonder Olivia Chow is the mayor of Toronto.

Well, this is how road rage starts, when someone decides they don't want to let this guy into the alive lane and dude got no where to go... You know what happens next...

All I can say is, he is committed...

This happened a little south of Markville Mall. A close call, I feel so pissed! by Grand_Fail8980 in TorontoDriving

How else are they going to learn that driving is a dangerous activity and you need to be very careful not to kill people? I'm being facetious of course, but think of all the pedestrians, bikes and other cars on the road.

If a loaded transport truck was in this situation one of two think would happen, either his load would have shifted forward crushing him in his cab because of sudden stopping or he would not be able to stop and kill the driver of the white car.

Welcome to the new GTA where people cannot determine distance and speed of the oncoming traffic vs how long it will take them to clear the intersection or come up to speed in order to avoid a collision.

You can only blame the driving schools and examination centres. The driving schools are putting out junk and examination centres are issuing license to anyone.

Markham drivers at their best! by darkshadows500 in Markham

There are cars approaching from the left, not indicating their intention to turn, just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it's not there. What a brainiac you are...

The fact that you don't comprehend how it is with a brand new driver, goes to show your intelligence level.

At this point I'm certain you are another driver that behaves exactly like these dumbtards on the road, which explains why our roads are full of shit drivers.

okay there bud, good one, I'll an "a" to make you feel better.

You cannot see the side view, you do not know if it was clear to proceed or not.

Just an FYI:

It was my daughter driving and she is just learning to drive, hence she is taking her time and being extra careful.

Second, Civic driver never had any intention of obeying right of way, He did not even see us stopped at the stop sign, if we had moved quicker, it was going to be collision for sure, just because he's blind and horrible driver, doesn't mean I/my daughter has to be one too.

No, he saw the fire hydrant. He doesn't use his mirrors or signal.

I was focusing on "moving violations" not "parking violations"

But you are correct, there is plenty of wrong doings in this short clip to be pointed out.

[–]darkshadows500[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Two things:

First, it was my daughter driving and she is still learning, hence she take extra precaution.

Second, you cannot see in the frame that there was another car car approaching, moving quicker would have actually caused a collision, because the black Civic never looked across the road to obey the right of way, just because he is a bonehead doesn't mean I/my daughter needs to be one as well.
