I don't find it frightening. You're not going to get hurt if one of those monkeys hits your car. They will, but that's the game they're playing. Insurance will cover your damages.

Oh I disagree. I don't want to see that and it would be very traumatic, I think.

I would disagree. It is essentially a missile. At speed a missile is still a missile. Wheelies maybe won't cause too much damage but a t-bone into the driver's side at speed, or even just taking a front wheel through your window will cause a very bad day.

I get that the construction zone where you have to do 80 on Deerfoot is frustrating, but I hope the two clowns weaving through people get arrested eventually. ####ing stupidity. Amazing that they didn’t cause a pileup.

Yeah that’s a two way street though because some of the “construction zones” in this city right now are jump the shark stupid and nonsensical. It’s like a guy just decided to go place pylons randomly and was bored. I’m looking at you downtown.

Meanwhile that new stretch Anderson travelling NB onto Deerfoot… like… the workers often find themselves wandering up on the highway there?

Every “lane ends” sign in a construction zone in the city is a lie.
