west van bus collided with a car and killed one person, and one driver is still trapped. Lions Gate bridge is closed for awhile I would bet

I was commenting to my co-worker the other day that, despite the fact my work entails the use of ariel lifts, climbing 10-15m ladders, dodging excavators, dumptrucks and the like... the scariest part of my day is driving the work van to and from HQ.

I see 3-4 incredibly stupid maneuvers a day. Of course, my territory is Richmond and Vancouver around Marine drive/Cambie, so go figure.

not bringing my car over here was a great decision.

the other day I saw two cars smash into eachother at a 4 way stop.. right in the middle! LMAO! one was a new mercedes too. I can't believe how dumb people are. im expecting somebody will crash into me sooner or later with the amount of delivering im doing, luckily its company car.

^ i wouldn't be worrying about the car id be worrying about myself if i got in an accident.

remember bad driving habbits affect everyones insurance rates.
