17th Parking/Mirror smashing

[JfuckinC]

If you're parked on 17th and someone takes your mirror off, how does that work through insurance? Vandalism? An accident?

[Graham_A_M]

vandalism. Thats what happened to me with that 8th ave zombie run thing when that idiot ran out and crumpled my door.


Its not going to affect your insurance premium too which is nice.

Vandalism subject to your comprehensive deductible.

Weak so, so it could be 250-500 replacement...

I saw it happen today and the person just kept driving..

Once I accidentally smoked some guys mirror... (Some douchebag in a brand new Porsche SUV was coming in to my lane so I had to squeeze as close to the parked cars as I could).

Stopped, his was metal and just pushed forward. Even though there was no damage I left a note, and called the non-emerg police line to report it (there was snow that day, so I was worried about the note washing away)...

Guy never called me...

However, on my Escalade, it caused the mirror to blow right the fuck up! lmao Cost me around $1,400 to replace. It SUCKEDDDD lmao

I get angry at those douchebags who don't leave notes... I blame the parents

[JfuckinC]

The worst part was it was car on car... i drive a truck and can make it down the road without damaging other vehicles how do they fuck that up

The right lane at 17th shouldn't even be considered a lane at some points.

x10000..it just makes it super dangerous to be in the left lane with douchebags hugging the line and darting back and forth.

Then drive in the left lane and let us folk with spatial awareness drive in it.

[revelations]

that lane should be for cyclists and motorbikes only
.....scary the city hasn't dome anything about this issue.

Change lanes, look for cabs and when you don't see any drive on through since there's usually a huge line of cars in the left lane.

I drive the right lane all the time down there. There's more room than people think except when some dumbass parks their car too far off the curb or when a cabbie pulls over to pick/drop somebody off or when the bus goes through.
I had situation #2 happen to me once. Without warning the cabbie in front of me suddenly pulls over without signaling to pick someone up at National on the corner of 5th and 17th. He didnt pull in enough and my mirror clipped his mirror as I passed by. Luckily my mirror folded in without breaking. Couldn't tell if there was any damage to the cab's mirror.

I like this and it would make sense if they didnt allow left hand turns on 17th. It's a pain in the ass when somebody is trying to turning left and there is 1000 cars going straight in the other direction.

[AudiPWR]

I drive in the right lane on 17th ave because there is plenty enough room for someone with spacial awareness to maneuver properly. I drive in it because of A) all the people turning from the left lane and B) because most clowns can't and don't drive it and it makes a clear path to get places faster.

[spikerS]

I understand how it can be daunting to your average Calgary driver, But I take my truck in the right lane down the entire length of 17th. Baygirl goes nuts in the passenger seat, but, meh.

only time I have EVER clipped a mirror was on 9th ave, and I was driving a semi and clipped the driver's mirror on a construction fence because another dump truck pinched me.

Like motorbikes need a bigger reason to rip up 17th like idiots, having a lane to themselves would be nuts, lol.

They should just stop having parking on 17th. Then Nenshi could have full on bike lanes in both directions without affecting any traffic.

Everything on 17th is walking distance from a parking lot. I wouldn't mind seeing it be more like Stephen Ave.

anyone who thinks that lane is too narrow learn how to drive, if you ever driven on the autobahn during construction that is exactly the width you have to work with, so don't be renting any cars in europe now take the bus

i enjoy it for me its like a carpool lane haha
