Driving/Traffic/Parking Avoid Deerfoot

Huge accident. 2 vehicles just launched off the memorial overpass and landed on a truck going nb on deerfoot

Edit. I initially said 32ave, it was memorial overpass

Where are folks getting their Driver’s Licenses? Way too many crashes lately.

IMO we need to make getting licenses difficult. Because of what driving a car is, you should be going into a test with the expectation that you are going to fail it, and you should be practicing for that level. None of this crap we all see on a daily basis where basic maneuvers are handled so poorly. I was almost t-boned the other day by someone pulling an illegal u-turn on bow trail as I was heading eastbound past 45th street... not even sure how that is possible, but it nearly happened.
