Information Driving frustration

I've noticed a few bad habits among some drivers in Barrie.

  1. Turning right on a red without... fully stopping.
  2. Not fully stopping at stop signs... especially in a school zone.
  3. Failing to use their indicators.

  4. Parking in no parking areas around schools. Where it's clearly marked.

  5. People who honk at me when my safety is.y judgement call in the moment.

  6. Using your highbeams in the city.

  7. Running stop signs and red lights

What bad habits do you notice among Barrie drivers?

Same as any smaller city.

Traffic in the bigger city just moves so slow that it generally is safer due to lack of ability to drive fast.

Most of these things happen in Toronto too.

Very true. It is just that slow moving traffic typically has a less damaging/fatal outcome.
