Car-cam bad drivers thread

[Thaco]

let me just stop in the middle of the road here.

Looks like the guy/gal just mis-timed turning out, then realized you're coming up pretty fast; so they stopped and respected your right of way. If they would had completed the turn, then they'd be cutting you off.

Ya but looks like that was a stop sign too, and they barely slowed down let alone stopped.

I take it you live near the Sobey's in Evanston... what do you drive? and what colour?

You drive very similar routes that I do and I live near the Sobey's in Evanston - just wanna make sure I don't show up in one of your videos

there was no way i could make my turn around her, maybe if i went past and basically u-turned around her, either way don't enter the intersection until it's clear to exit it, especially if someone is making a left in to your path...

Hmm, what does that big flashing arrow point right mean?

[Jro]

LOL... yes I live very close to the Sobey's in Evanston (so close I could easily walk there). I have two vehicles, so let's keep you guessing, as you just have to look for the dashcam in the windshield :-P

What street are you on?

I drove by there maybe 20min later and was wondering what that big black rubber thing was doing in the middle of the road

LOL I know how you feel. I live near the other Bad Drivers of Calgary guy on Youtube, and keep expecting to see my car in his videos.

Maybe that bike belongs to the dickhead who cracked his throttle on 17th last evening and left my ears ringing for the rest of day.

One can only hope.

So, you're staying that they can't read pictures because there's only a single sign that says left, and people are doing a dual left turn onto Barlow South without interfering with traffic..

Is that actually prohibited? The intersection is set up for it, it's just missing the one sign...

From the page you linked:

When turning right or left where dual lane turns are indicated by pavement markings or signs

No markings or signs, no dual turn.

Some people do this going from WB 194 to SB MacLeod and I really don't mind, especially if the line is super long, but that's an exception.

[codetrap]

Yeah, I guess you're right. I re-read it more carefully. Too used to skimming. :P

"Dual lane turns can only be made where indicated. "

Still not really seeing the issue in this particular circumstance.. it's not like it's slowing down traffic or creating a safety hazard. All the "illegal left dual turns" are being done on an advance turn light.. so *shrug*

Seems kinda nitpicky to me.

the issue is, it's not allowed....

people who are turning legally, would not expect you to be there, since you shouldn't be, and may make a wider turn because they should be able to, and cause a collision, because you shouldn't be there.


Not too sure what's difficult to understand about the signage and lights dictate the rules... reguardless of your opinion.

[Unknown303]

If they don't have the sign they shouldn't be making the turn. If I'm not mistaken.
