BBS... I'm still not sure how I became the subject of your scorn, but I'm pretty sure that you're lacking something in life. I'm making a simple point. The posted limits in Calgary are too low in many places. Your arguement is that I'm not a city planner. OOOHHH. I'm not a city planner!. Jesus Christ. Don't kick me while I'm down.

Do I really need to explain how to drive? Why is this such a mystery to Calgary? Y'know, the further I get from Calgary, the more I become aware of just how sheltered Calgarians are. You make me laugh, BBS.

Just because you shut up and follow whatever rules are laid in front of you doesn't mean that the rest of the world is out of line for questioning those rules. Get over your self for a minute and re read the thread.

Really, BBS, you can have this one if you want it. Go ahead and dis me into oblivion. I'll let you in on a well known fact to the rest of the world: people in Calgary don't know how to drive.

You can dispute that with whomever you please. Call me a moron, call me an idiot. Keep your head in the sand. One day you just might go to a big city. Then you will know WTF I'm talking about. Until then, keep scraping your nose against the ceiling. Bigger they are, harder they fall.
This has become quite a intense topic. But, I have to admit for the most part there are or seem to be a larger number of Calgary drivers whom drive like they are in a small town. For example, if the speed limit is 100, dont try to merge at 90 and hope that someone lets you in. Time and time again, I am seeing this occur. Go speed limit or more and I will kindly let you in. But I certainly will not slow down to less than speed limit because one fails to remember proper merging techniques.

Then there is the usual, not following the left lane concept, not that hard really on deerfoot for example. As much as the traffic woes are in larger cities(Montreal, Toronto, LA, etc, not during rush hours, but other driving times). The people there seem to have figured out these concepts and live with it day to day. Though all my ranting will certainly not change anything in this city or anywhere else, as people will continue to drive how they want and are entitled to. There will always been complainers of some sort, whether warranted or not, they always exist.

However, Edmonton driver are even worse. Mind you, they dont have a true freeway, thus the slower drivers.
