Nanaimo drivers are horrible

[scotsrish]

How many more people have noticed that Nanaimo sure has its share of speeders, tailgaters and ROAD BULLY'S. Its getting ridiculous when even the RCMP are not worried about setting a good example. How about all those with N's on the back doing 20-30 and more over the speed limit. Seen two young gals this week both had N's talking on the cell phone, tailgating and smoking a cigarette, are they steering with their knees? Really folks I am originally from Vancouver and have been driving many years Nanaimo's roads and highway are becoming very scary.

At about 12:20 p.m. today I observed a police car parked so that it blocked a cross walk on Dover Road in a school zone. There was no shortage of other places to park. I have more than a bit of difficulty understanding why it was necessary to park in that spot. The emergency lights were not flashing.

I agree with the original poster that the police here often set a poor example. Perhaps the officers in question have been in Nanaimo too long and have picked up their bad habits from the locals.

1: The RCMP has there own road rules. We have no worries to question this??? They are under contract with complete control of our society.!! Yes they do!
2: Those talking on cell phones while driving: I strongly suggest we blast our car/truck hones at them them while they are talking on the cell phone and at the same time give them the middle figure!

I really have to agree the cell phone addiction needs to be addressed fully. Lets get that fine at 2X the amount of $167.00.

The reason I am so totally for a greater fine is the other day while my husband and I were on the road a car wondered into our lane with no car signal. That is because the driver was talking on the cell phone and was clueless of his/her driving abilitites.

I have no patience for this ignorant form of thinking.

What ever happened to getting a call at home!!
