Magnet for bad drivers

I haven't blogged about the traffic for a long time. One of the reasons is that I don't have to commute to work anymore.

Well, it's about time I complained about the traffic. I used to have a separate blog to relieve my stress but I decided that I would just do it here instead. I think I have gotten past the point of stress and just mouth 'WTF' everytime I see poor driving.

One thing I have come to realize is that I am a "magnet" for bad drivers. I get behind the wheel and BAM ! bad drivers are everywhere.

Just this morning, some dumbass driver almost hit me with her brand new car at the Fairview Mall subway drop-off.

Two days ago at the Alton Towers plaza parking lot near McCowan and Steeles, I drove past 4 rows where cars were stuck trying to get out and get into parking spots. The confusion just made me laugh. How difficult is it to park a friggin car. It takes 2 seconds.

Last week, a Mercedes SUV came charging down the right lane while I was trying to merge onto the highway. There was space for him to move over one lane but instead, he drove beside me accelerating as I did.

A couple of weeks ago, a van driver with 'NO' passengers tailgates me in the HOV lane after entering the lanes at a 'non-entry' point. He then changes lanes to cut me off b/c I wasn't driving fast enough. Keep in mind that I usually drive between 125 to 140 km/h on Hwy404.

All of this ill driving behaviour is making Toronto one of the worst cities to drive in. Congratulations to you if you made it to work without encountering poor driving behaviour. As a native Torontonian, I am embarrassed by the # of crazy things people do when driving in Toronto. I attribute it to the 'variety' of driving styles by the many people in Toronto. How else can you explain it ?

Anyone have a better answer?
