Getting around

Dear Asshole Drivers

by Team Coast on July 31, 2018 at 12:12PM

It seems there is a wide-spread, serious mechanical issue with most cars lately in HRM: All the indicator lights are out on the majority of makes and models, making it impossible to predict which way you are fucking going. This leads to me halting quickly while walking across the street when you almost run me over turning left without a signal and also making me stop within inches of your fucking bumper when you suddenly slam on the breaks to make your turn when driving.

Accessibility woes

Please, PLEASE, do not advertise that you are a fully accessible restaurant or store if your idea of accessibility is seating someone who uses a wheelchair in the dark corner of the restaurant where it is everyone else’s last choice and where cutlery is rolled to sit or having a second floor of the store they cannot access. Just say that!

New rules for vehicles?

by Team Coast on November 19, 2017 at 11:57AM

This year I have noticed at least half the vehicles do not use their turning indicators and about one in 10 who use their turn indicators do not turn. Also I live on a street off of Transom where there is a lot of construction going on and the contractors use the street as if it is theirs alone including parking on the wrong side of the street and sometimes even blocking the street altogether.

Traffic

I'm gonna totally ignore the complete lack of planning in this city in regards to road construction and just complain about drivers. Bumper to bumper traffic and of course one or two cars always squeeze in to block the intersection.

Slowed down but did not stop!

To the driver of a small red car turning from Almon onto Windsor. Why did you slow down but not stop for a pedestrian (me) with a dog, halfway through the intersection when you started the turn. C’mon, use your head.

Learn how to pass another cyclist, please!

by Team Coast on August 23, 2017 at 9:53AM

To the cyclist in the watermelon helmet who tried to pass me while I was coasting on a downhill in a bike lane: the correct way to pass another cyclist is to ring your bell (if you don't have one, get one! it's an important safety item) and say "on your left" to indicate where you're passing.

Motor bikes in cycling lanes

by Team Coast on July 18, 2017 at 9:28AM

To the woman in shorts driving her full size motorcycle in the cycling lane, 4:30 pm, July 12, heading north on South Park Street: it is illegal to do so. Next time I will get your plate for the police.

I ripped out my hair because of you!

After using Montreal and Toronto's transportation it makes my time spent using Halifax Transit seem like a 10-year prison term. Halifax Transit isn't fit for human consumption!

Ontario doesn't recognize NS moped license

by Team Coast on April 4, 2017 at 4:18PM

I am from NS and moved to Ottawa only to realise my class 5D (regular + moped) NS license is not a class G ML (regular + moped) Ontario license. In NS you can get a D endorsement on your class 5 licence that allows you to drive a motorcycle with an engine of 100cc or less. In Ontario, that would be a ML licence, meaning Motorcycle Limited speed.
