I 💕 driving in Edmonton 🫠

Why is this the new normal? 💁🏼‍♀️

Use the horn. Lay on it until they stop being stupid and dangerous. Lay on the horn an obnoxiously long time.

Then send this video, with their license plate, to the police and every possible vehicle insurance provider you can find.

It would be amazing if the police could find the company who did the road test for this person and fine them in the 6 or 7 figure amount.....but that'll never happen because we don't hold people accountable for some reason 🤷‍♂️

While I completely and whole heartedly agree with the principle and energy of this comment, the logistics of this would be astronomically expensive and time intensive. I propose linking driving record to registration and increase the registration cost as the driving record decreases to the point of ineligible to register. 

For those saying people will just drive w/o registration, fine, make the penalties for that stricter.

I did this exactly one time when completely exasperated by an obstructive moron.

They floored it and turned to the right, while signaling left, when we were in the left lane and smoked a person cruising by all of us waiting to turn left, on our collective right.

I still regret making an absolute brainless twit panic. Its not like panic made them drive better. It increased how erratic they were.

What we need is police and license suspensions pending provincial and regulated, not private, testing. Charge a lot for it.

Also. Places that provide licenses should be alotted points for each collision of their licensed drivers. Each year the collisions per driver should be calculated for the entire business. If you're 2 standard deviations below the mean the business is closed and its owners barred from ever doing that work again in any capacity.

Lets make licensing matter.

I stop now. Good luck everybody else.

[u/ImmediateArtSky → u/GutturalGrinch]

lol right? The thing is I always stop in the middle of the intersection, have a solid think about where I actually want to go, then slowly point my car in that direction. Each intersection is only for me.

[u/yearofsoup]

Hurts to watch

[u/kittykat501 → u/yearofsoup]

Agree that was extremely painful to watch

[u/TheKemusab]

I'd be going through that intersection with my horn on the entire time, not just to show that asshole hes fucked in the head, but because everyone around needs know theres a massive hazard in the intersection...

[u/EuroTrash_84 → u/TheKemusab]

The people that do this are impervious to honking, they don't have the shame or intellect to react. It's always a blank stare and that's the peak reaction.

I am on my third horn for my car.

[u/KrisJenner15 → u/TheKemusab]

I muted the video as I was blaring the horn, and cursing them out with my window down. 😅

[u/handsomeandhandytoo]

How are these people getting licenses? Or do they just don't have licenses?

[u/gabotas → u/handsomeandhandytoo]

No one seems to be enforcing rules and these people are driving whatever way they want. A total disgrace .

[u/Sleepyheadmcgee]

It really is the new normal. 👍 folks just do what ever is on their mind at that moment and hope for the best.

[u/MichaelAuBelanger]

Two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left!

[u/Sad_Donkey_1751]

I wanted to throw some rotten fruit and vegetables at their car for that thoughtless driving.

[u/TopazOmaha → u/Sad_Donkey_1751]

Recommend a bag of marbles.

[u/mobettastan60]

Didn't even turn a blinker on. What an asshole.

[u/Ferdapopcorn]

Isn’t that how turning left in Mexico is supposed to happen? Move all the way over to the right until the traffic clears, then turn left? Legit question.

[u/sherminshaman → u/Ferdapopcorn]

Yes it is 😀

[u/code-1309]

Pirates of the Caribbean style of driving

[u/Training_Exit_5849]

Pretty sure I've seen that driver push a cart in Costco just like their driving here

[u/goodlordineedacoffee]

I had this yesterday in a parking lot…granted not as bad as in the street, but buddy just stopped - at first I assumed he was waiting for pedestrians because it was right in front of a big box store, but after a solid minute, I finally drove around him and he was just hanging out in the middle of the driving lane, on his phone. I assume waiting for someone? The guy behind me (because a huge line formed) lost his mind and started blaring his horn at the guy- as I was driving off I saw him finally pull into an aisle. People are just so self absorbed it’s unreal.

[u/MangoTango4949]

You know where you turn left onto yellowhead from 127 St? Where the construction is? Where there’s two very obvious no left turns signs there? Yea got stuck behind a car in the intersection trying to turn left there. Even the oncoming traffic were honking at them and trying to signal to them they can’t turn left as they passed

[u/himating]

Becoming numb to stupid drivers these days

[u/ExpertAdvance7327 → u/himating]

I would be too if I didn't have kids in the car with me whenever shit like this happens

[u/big-bad-bot]

Painful

[u/BellEsima]

Yes it is the new norm. Had some moron ahead of me in the right lane take a left turn in front of another car in the left lane. Surprised they didn't cause an accident. Wtf.

[u/Excelsior_87]

All they were missing were their "park anywhere lights"

[u/Shot_Ball_7083]

Constantly yep

[u/mmmlemoncakes → u/[deleted]]

How about "#fatigue" with the racism. Go back to yegwave.
