The level of idiocy and ineptitude… In an ideal world this would mean an immediate license suspension and only able to reinstate after thorough driving school and exams.

Not even enough, I think you should have to go through a separate impaired intelligence/emotionally dis-regulated driver program. Said program should requires psych eval, sign-offs, year+ of professional instruction. At their expense. Don't want to do it? Ineligible to drive again, for life.
If you are this fucking dumb/selfish to do this, you are in a special class of extremely dangerous driver.

Love it! Impaired intelligence / emotionally disregulated program lol! I think it would take 10-20% of the drivers off the road, because likely due to the proliferation of cameras we witness more idiocy on the roads

I’m definitely half meming, but I think you’re on the money. There’s probably about 10% of drivers who should not be driving.
Some people genuinely have an incompatible temperament - too angry, too anxious, too distractible, people that shut down when anything unexpected happens, etc.

Saw a road sign for Major Mackenzie Drive East so possibly Markham

Markham or Brampton. That seems to be where the worst drivers gravitate to in Ontario.

America (kind of) solves this issues with islands & medians installed on arterial roads, to act as a u-turn deterrent/traffic calming device. Maybe Canada should adopt this in more areas.

u/Pterodactyl8-6 23d ago
Do you really think Canada doesn’t have the same type of infrastructure the US has? We have medians and islands as well, this just happens to be a road that doesn’t have one.

this just happens to be a road that doesn’t have one.
Which is why I said "should adopt this in more areas". Didn't mean to piss in your Maple Syrup.

Guy not realizing they have mirrors, drivers are scary just as much as....
Riding a bike on a sidewalk....
Note: Most Canadian cities/provinces once a specific age or the tire diameter is met all bikes are to be on the road. Just a FYI before the down vote trolls hit.
As this is in Richmond Hill ish area, yes you cannot ride on the sidewalk here.

u/MaintainThePeace 21d ago
FYI, the are not riding on a sidewalk, they are riding on a multi-use trail, hence the wide pavement...
