ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

[jeffster]

thanks for confirming my suspicions of tri-city drivers being idiots.

True story: Got off the expressway (towards Stratford) to go right onto Fischer-Hallman. Some idiot in front of me decides now was a good time to slow and yield at the red light and proceeds her right turn (typical) despite there being a plethora of signs. OK. I get the green light, and I am behind her again, she goes right onto Ottawa and STOPS. There is no light. No stop sign. No yield sign. Nothing. I start honking after about 10 seconds and she's still not moving. I continue to honk until Ottawa Street light turns right, then she moves she gets to the next set of light, which is all red except for the green arrow, and she stops, again....and honk, again...then she proceeds turn her right when all the lights were green, then she stops again at the three way stop (her right of way) as she attempts to make a left, but stopping there confused the other drivers, so I honk again, as does the person behind me, as does the car to my right. She gets out of her car at Shoppers Drug Mart, and as do I, and starts yelling "Why you honk me, why you honk me?" and I am like "Because you treat red lights like a yield, right away light a stop sign, a green arrow light like a red light, and a 3-way stop sign like a 4-way stop sign..." and she was like "you no how drive..you no how drive, you dumb driver, go back to India you Paki" and goes off cursing. (I do have Native Canadian blood in me, and the sun makes me much darker, but I am not from India..go figure, stupid driver and racist and clearly geographically impaired)

Thing is, I see this daily (the driving, that is). Most people respond to a quick honk, this woman was ignorant as hell.
