Right on. Our new head govt tax collector.
never thought I’d say this because obviously don’t enjoy getting ticketed , but I’d say bring it on . The driving that I’m seeing daily for the last number of years needs to be brought under control .
reallyrick,
You mean, the cutting off, the stopping to yield while driving in a merge lane, forcing a merge while driving in a yield lane, the dangerous passing on double solid lines, blinding oncoming traffic with illegal/legal headlights by either forgetting they are on or blatant dickheadedness, being passed legally but almost having the front of your machine
taken out by the dimwit as they pull back in front of you before they have actually finished passing you?
I could list dozens of dangerous things the braindead do out on our roads on a daily basis here.
Speed doesn’t kill, idiots that speed kill.
Welcome back, Raj, yer hometown missed you.
Welcome back. Hopefully you can crack down on some of the police driving as well.
We definately need a heavier enforcement of the bad driving in our area.
I’m not picking on police driving but any driving that is contrary to the rules seems to be picked up by a lot of other drivers on our roads and replicated.
Police need to be an example of very good driving too.
We all need to be proactive in setting a good example for others to follow. As well, people need to think for themselves rather than just following bad habits that they observe.
I wish success in your new position here.
