Funny to read all the talk about aggressive Calgary drivers. After driving in the Middle East, I get soooo frustrated when I come home and have to deal with the ridiculous passivity Calgarians exhibit on the roads.
Speed up to merge? Nope, why, would that help?
Slowing down for green lights? Yep. A pedestrian might come...
Doing 90 in the left lane on Deerfoot? Why not? 100 is the MAXIMUM.
Overly polite waiting to see what others will do at stop signs? All the time!
I get frustrated with the ignorant, ultra-aggressive, flat-out rude driving in the UAE but it's pure pleasure after experiencing Calgary for a week or two. Polar opposites.
