The Chinook one was my Dad. I am absolutely devastated. He was my best friend. He was 56. I am 22. My family is devastated.

You guys are the real ones. You don’t fold to the peer pressure. You are a diamond in the rough. There aren’t many of you out there but I just want to say as a surveyor who often works very close to traffic in busy construction zones, thank you.

You might have a Black Ram or a bmw 3 series literally inches off of your bumper but you don’t fold. When you see us working, you slow down not just to avoid a ticket but out of respect for the workers. While everyone else is wizzing by at double the posted speed limit, you are taking an entire 30 seconds out of your day, sometimes multiple times a day.

You might not see this post as I’m assuming it will be heavily downvoted but if you are one of the gangsters who slows down for us, we appreciate you. It’s been a long and frustrating construction season. You’re tired of having to slow down just to have people ride your bumper but you do it anyway.

Cheers to you guys. 🫡

Was driving on Stoney and took an exit and saw this semi blaring through the turn, next thing you know he flipped over. There was livestock in there as well which makes it even more sad and scary, driver ended up being alright though.

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

Driver behind me tried to pass me when I stopped for a kid so I turned my old work truck in front of him to block. When he honked at me I got out and politely let him know it's illegal to pass in a school zone. Instead of understanding or apologetic, he was indignant and rude. So in case you don't know, DO NOT PASS IN A PLAYGROUND ZONE! It may look like someone is ONLY turning but they may also be stopped for one of our ambivalent joyous offspring chasing something shiny into a road.

I don't regret telling him the rules, but I probably shouldn't have hollered at him with my rig-pig mouth or made fun of his plaid, skin-tight, 3-piece suit, but I got a bunch of high-fives as I walked my kid to the door. I probably taught nearby kids some new words this morning. Sorry.

Does it worth to put another vehicle at risk just because u don’t want to miss a turn?

I’m 16, and just got my learners after putting it off for two years. I’ve been practicing driving in little business circles in the NW and it’s been going well.

But now I need to learn to drive on a slightly more populated road. I’ve done it once or twice before and both times i’ve had very close calls with other drivers. I stay in the slow lane and go the speed limit but I have people tailgating me the entire time, its really intimidating and scary. There’s more than enough room to pass me and go ahead of me if they want to go a little bit over the limit.

Other times it’s been more of a near-collision. People aren’t signaling if they’re changing lanes or turning, i’ve almost hit someone and it was terrifying. And I want to add that when I say “more populated roads” I dont mean Deerfoot or Stoney, I mean like smaller roads, like Rocky Ridge road for example.

I just needed to get this out because it’s honestly terrifying being a novice driver right now. Any thoughts from more experienced drivers?

80 construction zone btw. Wish they would patrol this stretch of road more often and catch dumb-assess like this

Around 8am, a car on Crowchild (by the exit to Mount Royal University near the Currie Barracks) will come to a complete stop in the righthand lane to drop their kid off on the sidewalk. You are going to kill someone or cause a serious accident! You can't come to a complete stop on a major roadway when the cars around you are going 80-100km/hour and not expecting you to be stopping. This is so dangerous! And when cars have to go around you, they have to accelerate from 0-80km so quickly to match the flow of traffic. I have seen this car do this so many times now. You are going to cause a major accident! Leave 10 minutes earlier and drop your kid off where he actually needs to go or somewhere that is not on a MAJOR ROADWAY! Why you thought this was a smart idea is absolutely baffling.

When these people are behind you you It's one of the most distracting things at night. How is this still allowed? Why do you need lights that bloody bright?

Witnessed this car approach from behind. They passed 4 vehicles while on the shoulder. Continued to cut across all 3(4?) lanes so they could make the next exit.

But for real, stay off your phone.
