Puck and I almost got run over on our way back home this afternoon. This surprised me because it seems that most Vancouver drivers are fairly pedestrian-savvy. That said, count the nuisance points this driver had racked up:
Driving a Black SUV
with a Novice sticker on it
in reverse
down an alley
at high speed
while on the phone
and smoking.
I was more amused at the perfect storm of careless driving than I was angry at almost being turned into street pizza (although in Vancouver it would be street crèpe or maybe street make).
The real comedy began when I (not a cell-yakking, reverse-speeding, suburban-assault-vehicle-driving, chain-smoking novice) was pulling my car into the alley after going to pick up our Friday night pizza and the SAME guy almost hit me AGAIN as he did
15 mph
out of the alley
in reverse
while on his phone.
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and not rack up a point for also handling a lit cigarette.

How about printing out the blog entry and sticking it under the windshield/screen wiper?
No bad driving should go unremarked -- it's just hard to find the right venue, one that allows the venting and the publicity. I yearn for another pad of the traffic ticket look-alikes.
