I was waiting to turn left at the lights by the superstore in country hills and the light was about to turn red and I was in the middle of the intersection waiting to turn but a bus was coming down the hill while flashing his lights, naturally I waited for the bus to go through since it obvious he wasn't stopping however the car behind me, a CR-V, decided he's in too much of a hurry to wait for me to go so he decided to go around me and the bus missed him by literally a foot.

I'm so disappointed that the bus didn't t-bone the fucking moron. It would've made my day. I would've gladly waited around to talk to the police and back up the bus drivers story but alas, this idiot goes on without learning a much needed lesson.

Naturally? More like righteously. If someone has the time to consider DRIVING AROUND YOU, and then makes the decision to do so, and still clears the intersection, you are part of the problem.

Speaking of cautious scared drivers LOL.

Had his blinker on. Was probably changing lanes, hit the slush between lanes, overcorrected into a tank slapper. Also probably on all seasons.

I can see where he’s coming from. If a bus isn’t able to stop why the hell would you risk it? You hit a patch of ice and spin, the bus can’t stop and you get t-boned?

Definition of smrt...

At an average speed of 9km/h, is it still considered driving?

In all fairness, at this time of the year even when the roads are decent just driving past Chinook takes 30-45 mins. I avoid that place like the plague.

Side note it always makes me laugh when radio stations are like “if you see a problem in traffic call or text ####”

Are you serious?

I'm going to go and risk it when there was a bus coming down a hill FLASHING HIS FUCKING LIGHTS saying he cant stop to save literally zero time? There were 3 cars that i was waiting for to get through the intersection, spinning their tires but yes, let me fucking drive in front of the bus from SPEED so I can save 2 seconds. I literally caught up to the guy that had the near miss at the next light.

And missing a BUS by a foot isn't my definition of clearing the intersection.

This post is hilarious too cause I know my buddies will see it and laugh at someone suggesting I'm a cautious scared driver lol.

I had to drive from Sunridge to Silverado and up to Panorama tonight, starting at 4pm. Took 3 hours. That was with me driving around others. Fml.

[speedog]

Just drove in from Airdrie, all three lanes easily useable, speed limit wasn't an issue. Started getting interesting once in the city because of drivers who apparently have lost their minds, tomorrow morning should be a shit show.
