Drivers.. Yikes!
10/4/2023 at 1:20 PM

Is it me or are drivers getting worse and worse. Just today there was a car behind me and everytime we hit a red light they were constantly honking thier horn.. and no the light was not green.. they thought it was hikls8as I saw them laughing my rear view mirror. I'm not trying ro be Uber serious or anything but there is a right time time and a definite wrong time to use your horn.. and this was for absolutely no reason. If I was the wrong person they could of been in trouble.

Also people not driving with thier headlights on at night??? I am talking really dark out.. I don't care if your headlight are "auto" turn your lights on it is dangerous. Technology fails , don't be completely dependent on it. Everyone is dependent on it (I don't have any of those features) and they drive like everyone has sensors and backup cameras.. my backup cameras are my eyes...

Brandon hills

Worse for sure. It's actually amazing there isn't more accidents on the Brandon hills road. It's fine if people aren't comfortable on gravel but common sense has to come into play. When people are turning onto the hills trails parking area, it's on top of a hill and most are right in the middle of the road prior to the turn which makes for a perfect head on scenario. Other day someone needed to turn around a bit farther south right as the hill goes down, if someone else was coming south it would have been real bad. Not trying to rip on people but this is a daily occurrence and only a matter of time.

I too have seen so many people driving with no tail lights on at night. I have tried flashing my high beams at them but either they don’t notice or care. It’s so frustrating and dangerous

I was driving on the Trans-Canada a couple weeks ago during the early morning (dark outside) and came up on a government truck driving with no lights on. I tried to tell him to turn his lights on, but he didn’t understand. Scary!
