I'm 2 hours west of you in London. I used to love driving in the GTA when visiting, but I now hate it. The quality of drivers has drastically decreased in recent years, I can't believe how bad it has gotten. I've got some ideas why it is so bad but I would probably be accused of racism. I have no desire to go back there any time soon.
🤣🤣 I 100% AGREE!!! The quality of drivers has taken a steep decline. Half the time I wonder how most of these drivers are even licensed, I figure they print bootleg licenses out at Pacific Mall.
I absolutely hear you, I'm a specific ethnic minority, however, 100% born and raised in the GTA, and 90% of these drivers just propagate a very specific stereotype, you know which one I mean LMFAO.

Horrendous here as well. Our traffic is not as bad as some places, especially for a major city (greater Phoenix area) but I experience enough WTF moments to keep me on my toes.

On a brighter note, I did see a black Lamborghini teleporting in and out of traffic yesterday, making it look easy. Next level.

yeah I know. You don't want to know what is going on in the transport truck and dump truck industry. People are getting their truck driving licenses and driving trucks with almost no experience, the licensing system is a scam.

My wife's cousin was just killed yesterday on his way to work.
Two transport trucks collided and caused the incident. One truck hit the second truck from behind and one truck crossed the median into his lane of traffic, he died instantly. He leaves a 7 year old autistic son behind and a wife, and he was the main wage earner in the household. We have been sickened to hear of this in recent days.

That is truly horrible, very sorry to hear that.
Nothing will replace him, or bring him back, but hopefully his widow can at least get financial compensation from the trucking companies insurance. Hopefully she is getting help from a competent attorney.

Thanks for the kind words.

At work I park in one of the book end stalls, so I only have one car parking next to me. Even then, I park on the outside edge of the stall. Absolutely hate door dings.

I've always parked as far away as possible from others, no matter what car I've had.

I'm not really too picky, but I definitely try to leave 1 space left to right at the very minimum. Usually don't park that far away from everybody unless that's where the only open spots are. Doesn't really matter to me anyways at the end of the day since someone's gonna park right next to me lol

I put cones and flares around my car as well as hire retired armed navy seal guards, one on each corner of the car with walkie talkies, radar and range finder, target designator lasers to pin point possible threats where ever I park . I haven't had any problems. :dunno:
