It's one Lane NOT two lanes

This morning while awaiting my turn to make a left from dominion onto cabana, the impatient driver behind me was beeping their horn and pulling behind me as close as possible.
I guess they like some other's don't realize
Dominion at that spot is a ONE LANE ROAD and they just had to put on their patience panties and await their turn. I was also waiting for some younger students to cross before i could go. Dominion is a road that from roselawn to cabana has 2 grade schools with very young children crossing. To those that think I'm gonna move over for you to go when its one lane never gonna happen....wait your turn or go down Dougall its got 2 lanes.
was informed some residents on the street are getting plates/ videos of speeders flying down the residential road. So im sure it will be patrolled a lot more often.

I would just like to give recognition to the staff at Windsor Allergy and Asthma clinic. While waiting for my appointment today there was a medical emergency. I know they were just doing their jobs but I would just like to give the staff a huge thank you for the way they handled everything. The entire team from the secretary to the nurses and Dr.s all stepped in to help calmly and efficiently. The lady was in very capable hands until the ambulance arrived and I hope and pray you are okay you seemed to be alert by the time EMS had arrived. I know it is thanks to the exceptional team work from all the Allergy staff who helped! She was in the best care possible because of your dedication to being focused on her in a time of need!

Extreme Road Rage

I understand that people can be frustrated at times driving in the city but the middle aged bald man in the black dodge ram pickup truck this morning was the worst I've ever encountered. I take the same route every day so I know the red lights, pot holes etc. I take Central over the EC overpass, turn right on Deziel Road and left on Mannehim towards St. Etienne Blvd. He was following so closely that I was afraid to touch my brakes. I made sure not to antagonize him farther so I drove slightly above the speed limit. On St. Etienne Blvd he drove beside me very aggressively and veering towards me as to scare me. He sped off in front of me. Moments later I am behind him at the traffic light on Walker and Foster. He then gets out of his truck comes to my window and is swearing and yelling at me for "brake checking" him. Almost comical but his anger was palpable. He then proceeds to drive beside me on Walker, revving his engine and coming over the yellow line towards me. I watched him pull into the Windsor Airport but I wasn't comfortable approaching him. I didn't get a clear pic of his licence plate because I was shaking too much. Was it worth it sir? How dong did it take your heart rate to get back to normal?
I am just your average Caucasian middle aged woman, been driving accident free since 1980 when I got my licence. I have noticed lately that drivers are getting more and more aggressive lately. What's going on? Any ideas ? What can we do to alleviate this to make the roads a safer place to be?

Could have been tragic!!

To the driver hauling brush on the expressway this morning around 10:25 am. You sir / madam, need to learn the necessity of securing your load! I don't know how that piece of tree managed to come off of your truck and land in the middle of the westbound Lane! The traffic was extremely heavy and the drivers around me had to slam on their brakes and swerve to miss other cars that were trying to miss that piece of tree. Thank you to all the drivers around meith quick reflexes that were paying attention. Thank you to the gentleman that got out of his pickup truck behind me, after almost rear-ending me, to pull that piece of tree off the road. This could have been the worst Monday morning for many people. To the driver again, you should consider yourself very lucky that you are not being held responsible for several injuries and possible deaths this morning. I hope you see this post and understand the gravity of your error. Do better!!

Bully

On Sept 19 we were at Hotel Dieu Hospital and witnessed a woman trying to take a wheelchair away from a volunteer. They are only allotted so many for the fifth floor to take patients down to the exit after a procedure. This woman eventually forced he wheelchair away from the volunteer then brought it back several hours later and tried to apologize. I hope she sees this as she was extremely rude and selfish.

Thank you for the act of kindness

Thank you so much to the lady in front of us at Tim Hortons this morning. We were in the drive thru and my kids always ask if we can pay for the people behind us. We usually do but today when we drove up to the Window we had a surprise. The person ahead of us paid for our order, and I'll tell you that was totally unexpected. My order was just over 12 dollars and I couldn't believe someone paid for it. I gave the cashier the money I was going to pay for my order and the next order and had her use it on the next few orders. Thank you so much for adding that much more excitement to our Tim Hortons visit.
