I was driving down County Rd 46 today and was coming up to Manning Rd where I intended to turn right. There was a large cube van in front of me blocking my view of oncoming traffic and as I went into the turning lane I realized too late that there was a bus on the other side with it's flashers on. I was very upset with myself for not being able to stop but was more upset as I was travelling down Manning Rd and saw the woman in the van behind me digging through her purse for her phone and then taking a picture of my licence plate while driving 80. I know what I did was wrong and am the first to admit it. If what you chose to do with the picture was to send it to the police then I will gladly pay the fine for my mistake if they come looking for me. I hope you can say the same if you are charged with distracted driving. There were no houses on the side of the road I was driving on so there was absolutely no chance of anyone being in danger from my mistake. You, however, put yourself and anyone driving towards you in danger by wanting to take a picture so badly. I hope you feel better about catching someone making a mistake but also realize that you made just as big of a mistake if not worse.

Owners beware there is a guy driving / speeding down streets in forest glade area he ran over and killed my neighbors little dog. The dog accidentally ran out their front door and to the end of it's driveway , this guy obviously drove too close to the edge of their driveway. He drives blue aspire.

My son is a struggling addict. He made the decision to get help. He contacted Brentwood and was told he would need to detox 3 to 5 days before entering the program. This could be done at home, ( not going to happen ) or at the detox centre. This is where our journey began. He called the detox centre several times, for several days being told to repeatedly to call back no beds. After 2 days of calling and still no results..I drove my son right to the door. He called once again and told them he was sitting outside their doors waiting to be admitted. He was then told to just sit on the bench outside and wait for someone to come get him as they were busy !! I waiting with him on that bench for 1 full hour before someone FINALLY came out only to tell him it would still be awhile and for him to just remain on the bench outside the centre. SHAME ON YOU !!!! This was a scared kid ..who made the decision on his own to get help. To leave an addict of ANY sorts sitting in a bench outside is just crazy to me ... My son is now finished detox and is starting his recovery at brentwood, I hope to hell one day he is strong, healthy, finishes school and takes your job. Shame on you !!!

My girlfriend and I were packing up groceries on Sunday from Food Basics... we leave get home and unpack only to notice a "reusable" bag of groceries missing. She called the store and was told to come in and speak to the manager. They reviewed the video surveillance and caught the lady behind us stealing her bag of groceries.

You know who you are and you knew at the time of stealing the groceries that wasn't your bag! $40 of goods gone. Thankfully the store gave my friend all her missing groceries!

ok i rarely post "bad" spottings and i'm sure we are all sick of the bad traffic/ driver rants.

but this is an issue i see regularly... and progressively getting worse.

so while i stopped and sat patiently through an entire green light today at ouellette and tecumseh intersection (as did the lane that pulled up beside me and the cars behind us, etc), I watched in awe as an ambulance came down the hill, sirens on and lights flashing only to be forced to stop. and wait. and wait some more.

people, i'm not sure what they taught u in drivers ed.. but the bright lights, sirens and additional blaring of the "get the heck out of the way!" horn they have means (wait for it) MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!!! you all looked so dumbstruck like u had never encountered an ambulance before. one lady in a silver minivan (front of line of course) managed unsuccessfully to pull up two feet before she threw up her hands in bewilderment, not knowing what to do. and so, they all sat there until the light turned green (i'm talking they sat through the left lane turning light and everything, ambulance still blaring it's horn). the ambulance finally managed to slip into the left turning lane (after everyone else had already turned) and proceed through the intersection while everyone else was still trying to figure out what they should do, still stopped, their light now green.

im starting to think ambulances should be equipped with one of those snow plow scoops on the front for people who can't be bothered to move over. we held the intersection for you, the way was clear, what more did you need?

it's nice that we stop and wait and pull over for funeral processions.. i've always liked that about windsor.. but could we maybe not wait until the person needs a funeral and get out of the way while they can still be saved??

just a thought..

red light or not, if the intersection is holding for u and is clear, get out of their way! it could literally make all the difference in someone's life.

On Saturday morning about 3:30 a.m. in the 1200 block of Dougall someone broke into my father's car. The front window was smashed and the driver's door was damaged. My father is elderly and has nothing worth stealing but is so stressed and upset about this. If anyone happened to see anything please contact the police. If not, just beware.

My husband was hit in our vehicle at the corner of Grand Marais and Howard this morning around 6:00am by a dark blue Chevy Cobalt or Pontiac G6. We would appreciate if anyone who saw it happen could come forward with information, or if the person who hit him would claim responsibility.

To every single high school kid on the 1c about 750am yesterday and today, your parents should be ashamed of you. Two days in a row I got onto a full bus with three young kids and not one of you offered up you seat for them, instead you watched as I struggled to make them hold the bars and not fall. An older woman offered her seat to them, for which I politely declined, because my children, unlike you, will learn the social "food chain" lets call it. The kicker is even after that women set an example and offered her seat all of you just sat there and did nothing. You should all be ashamed of youselves, I was no where near perfect as a teenager, but ill tell you one thing, my parents definitely taught me to have respect for others.
