A must share Calgary driving expierience
So I'm driving along last evening and traffic in Calgary is heavy as usual. A lady in a minivan puts on her signal so she can change lanes and merge off of McLeod. The guy behind her steps on the gas so she can't get in, sticks his arm well out the window, gives her the finger and makes it obvious, very obvious. Anyway the lady slams on the brakes just about runs onto the grass running out of space. Being mad about the lack of common courtesy in this city I then felt the need to be extra courteous to make up for that one guy. Nevertheless Calgarians beat me to it, not once but twice since then. A bus driver let me in in a traffic jam and a guy on a bike seeing I can't get across 16th ave (stop sign) pressed the crosswalk sign to stop traffic and waved me across. I consider myself pretty new to this city and just when my opinion about Calgarians is about to change it's nice to see that most Calgarians are quite different.
