anyone agree? i've only been here a few days and almost got rear ended twice and side swiped a couple times cause people don't check their blind spots.

Hrmm, bad drivers everywhere Probably just notice it more when you are out of town. I noticed the drivers in Eastern Canada suck as well
i have to agree - when we were crusing down white ave there was an accident that happened right next to greg - someone rear ended another person. also when we were on white ave traffic moved at idle speed i shit you not - colin almost got cut off and i could go on and on and on but in general i dont think all drivers are like that up there - we have the local dummies here too
Ya I was riding in Choweys car and we almost got hit about 6 times literally!!

When I was in Vancouver last year, in the space of 5 days, I saw two accidents right in front of me. People turning left and getting nailed at full speed.
I just got back from Vancouver... and HANDS DOWNS, they got the WORST drivers there! I practically saw an accident everyday I was down there!
Yes, worst than Edmonton and Calgary combined!
Rush hour traffic there can be real slow if you're not an assertive driver...
Vancouver seems to be a really fast paced city, where you sneak into every little tight spot you can get into... it's quite agressive.
alberta tho, we seem to have a lot of careless drivers on the road where they don't believe in shoulder checking etc.
i drove home from my friend's place midday and i almost had 2 suvs sideswipe me from 2 lanes over...

Dude, I had that happen to me so many times, I just expect it now!
Here's a summary:
Calgary Drivers - no shoulder checking, and keep turning even when the turning signal is done 30 seconds ago!
Vancouver Drivers - just plain PAID for their driver's license. Not a clue as to signalling or looking ahead in traffic. (Richmond primarily)
Do I sound bitter?
Well apparently Edmonton drivers don't like to stop for red lights. I was allmost T-Boned by and edlerly lady turning onto Calgary Tr. instead i swirved a bit and she only nailed me head on.
I'm sure every city has thier fair share of bad drivers though ...
