Traffic!

Quoted for truth. Montreal is incredibad for idotic driving.

Now, I mostly just go to University during the day with my car, so I miss out on the rush hour fun times. If I'm going anywhere at rush hour, I know that the metro is mostly the only way to go.

When I do drive however, I'm sure to always at least see one each of the following:

- People who switch lanes without their signal light at the last second right in front of you because they didn't realize the guy in front of them was gonna have to wait to turn left.

- Cutting across two lanes to get into a turning lane, again with no signal light

- Guy (or gal) who sees the yellow light from the last intersection and steps on it to make the light, thouroughly burning the red.

- 'hazard lights give me the right to park wherever I want, be it in the middle lane' guy (or gal)

- Someone who sees yellow, yet still decides to go across the intersection, even though the next light is red and there's a line of cars almost to the intersection, thus blocking of the intersection for perpendicular traffic as the light inevitably becomes green for them

The list could probably go on for a quite a while, but that's what I could think of off the top of my head. Now, keep in mind, this is just on a single street that doesn't even get that much traffic at the times when I'm using it. Downtown rush hours are even more crazy, though I haven't lived them too many times.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
