People who think they own the roads...
Ok guys, heres a quick question. What do you think about people that believe/think they own the roads?
You know, those who just drive and don't care about other's safety, no blinkers, dont check blind spots, think you should never change lane infront of them, think they can come out of a parking lot and expect you to let them through so they just go through, etc etc.... Do you sometimes feel like getting hit or hitting a car on purpose because you know there at fault? (see 2nd story)
2 stories here, last saturday, driving on keele right before hitting dundas, a little backed up on the left lane because people are going to turn there, so i decide to change lane cause im going straight, put my blinks, check in my mirror AND blind spot and i do have at leats 3-4 car lenght in front of this 89-90 caravan... well to my surprise, the van starts honking, yelling etc, changes lane, comes to my left to pass and continues yelling! damn him!
2nd one, on bloor in etobicoke going to work, im going westbound, this guy in a benz, old man, id say late 50's, just comes out of the parking to TD and jump on eastbound bloor so i honk cause im coming there, well to my surprise again, he yells at me!!! i mean, correct me if im wrong, but incoming traffic has priority on merging traffic, he had no business merging while traffic was coming, he was expecting me to stop and let him through... grrrr, after the fact, i said to myself i should of just slammed him, case closed... I know it would of been wrong moraly to it, but then again, he was at fault.
what you guys think?
