Dealt with this on my way home this afternoon...

Was merging onto the highway from an on-ramp - black VW Golf crosses the median between the highway and on-ramp to cut over the on-ramp to pull over to the shoulder (or so I think). NO turn signal, didn’t even look to see if anything was on the on-ramp!!!

He saw me at the last second and slowed down in the median for me to go past...when I looked in the rear view after I passed him, I then saw the car TURN AROUND and go down the onramp THE WRONG DIRECTION. Pretty sure they missed their exit and weren’t willing to drive 6 minutes (if that) down the highway to the next one to turn around. Nope, let’s just endanger everybody’s safety instead!

IDIOTS.

DISCUSSION (20)

I was leaving a clinic this morning and an old dude in a paper plate Ford Escape was attempting to pull out, I say attempt because he was just rolling forward revving his engine in neutral. it took him a good minute to figure out he wasn’t in gear. I thought to myself “thats who i’ ll be sharing the road with today.”

Crossing the gore point = illegal. Did you notice he was slowing down as you approached him?

You reminded me of an article I found last year:

https://www.rushlane.com/driving-license-test-india-12247113.html

Glad Ontario doesn’t have (IIRC) license exchange agreements with India, though sometimes I wonder how much under the table stuff goes on ... I mean, our test centers are privatized, and have quotas they have to fill (which is idiotic). I know of at least one case personally. Suffice it to say he drives like an ass and probably wouldn’t have passed.

one highway over here (at least) has that same problem.. whenever it shuts down for an accident people start just turning round and heading for the nearest off ramp to get around the blockage

happened twice in one week a little while back... first time it made the news coz about 50 cars decided to just double back to the off ramp

second time it happened it made the news coz the cops were waiting by said on ramp... 650 euro fines for all

Yup, I’ve never seen anything that blatant without even looking whatsoever or making any attempt to warn anybody else...

I noticed he was slowing down and getting oddly closer to the solid line on the shoulder side of the highway as I got really close.....also that he was straddling the passing lane as I approached...

HA, sucks to be the morons who got fined! :P

I mean....if they missed their exit, the next one was like literally 5-7 minutes away...just go there and turn around...

I agree, terrible choice of music. Some people should have their license revoked.

yeah.. not gonna feel sorry for anyone headed against traffic

(cept maybe the occasional pensioner having a senior moment.... who if they live should lose their license.. but probably really couldnt do much about it)

I have a very broad taste in music from orchestral, to some hip hop to techno/electronic to pop and everything in between. Whatever tickles my fancy.

I also happen to like some J-Pop amidst everything else, so I happened to be listening to that today. If it makes you feel any better, some Moog from Might Car Mods and then CHRVCHES came on next in that playlist ? :P

To each his/her own friend! :)

We have a similar problem in my state. Hate to say it, but none should have ever been given a license, let alone allowed behind the wheel of a car.
