ONE Freaking Lane People!!!!

Seriously, I just don't understand some drivers ... Every freaking day I see people taking multiple lanes. Why? Why? Why? How hard is it to understand that it's not okay to cross multiple lanes on the road????

Last night, I watched someone pull out of a store and cross 3 lanes! 3 freaking lanes!!!

I am seriously thinking that there are way too many people out there that don't understand the concepts of merging or turning - so here is a tutorial for all you driving morons out there:

"If you need to change lanes or to merge, adjust your speed, keeping within the speed limit, and wait for a safe gap in the other lane."

"Before you make a turn, you need to get your vehicle into the correct lane. Then you need to end up in the correct lane when you complete your turn. This is called LANE TRACKING."

(According to ICBC's Driving Smart booklet)


Notice how in these pictures the driver turning takes the NEAREST lane?












If you can't figure it out, then perhaps you should burn your driver's license and take the damn bus! Because, frankly, this cutting across multiple lanes when you're turning or merging is dangerous and you are going to hurt someone!
