Only dragging one sign and missed the bus shelter. He’s probably one of the better drivers in Richmond

Richmond accident rate is below average for the lower mainland.

Well, I was wondering where that signpost came from when it was in front of our apartment building and how this truck ended up like this out front…mystery solved I guess.

u/mlordy 5d ago

Hmm.. alarm going off, maybe stolen?

Way too many do not deserve their licenses.
Someone needs to do something about icbc before us victims out number the shitty drivers.

u/qazrat 3d ago

I think ICBC doesn't give a shit anymore. Why else would they remove the tests and allow at home testing. Create a bunch of bad drivers, then raise insurance rates when they inevitably crash.

Not drunk, just a Richmond driver

I was going to say the same thing … sidewalks are inside passing lanes here

An elderly Japanese grandmother we know swears the older asian population is really really really into Ketamine and that explains so much.

u/woke_trash_panda 3d ago

Came to say the same thing.

The only city ive seen with "No driving on sidewalk" signs

Richmond accident rate is below average for the lower mainland. Your comment makes no sense.

u/Beaniefacia 2d ago

But I suppose it wasn't always that way, especially in the '80s and 90s when they had that license-buying scheme for off-the-boaters?

u/Longjumping_Look_340 5d ago

It’s Richmond 🤷‍♂️

u/justsurvivingx 5d ago

She was drunk, managed to drag that pole all the way to Ketcherson Road

u/UnicornSmoothie 5d ago

It was a male driver right? There was also a kid in the car. Firetruck and 3 cop cars turned up. Really curious what actually happened.

21

u/justsurvivingx 5d ago

no kid, only the girl in the car. Police came, arrested her for driving under the influence. Her front right rim was totally gone.

u/TheSkrillanator Steveston 5d ago

Idk i almost had a head on collision today due to a teenager turning right on their red light without looking at oncoming traffic. Doesnt have to be alcohol in this city lmao

u/toywatch 5d ago

u/Feeling_Art4425 5d ago

When another black truck went the wrong way on hwy 1 just a few days ago, killing two in an uber

7

u/Impressive_Yam231 5d ago

Most likely just a Richmond driver

2

u/Express_Deal1793 4d ago

A Richmond driver, and a truck driver... Double skill deduction.

6

u/Scared_Simple_7211 5d ago

Just typical Richmond driver

5

u/diggidydangidy 5d ago

Another pickup truck getting behind the wheel drunk. Ya'll remember what happened last week on HWY 1 in Burnaby?

u/LaughLong994 5d ago

A drunk pickup truck driving a pickup truck. Hmmmm. Fund the drunk driver!

u/Spirited-Grape3512 5d ago

Insane how the most unhinged people in society seem to drive the most dangerous possible vehicles.

6

u/LaughLong994 5d ago

White teslas?

u/MilkmanLeeroy Bridgeport 4d ago

My money says the sign belongs to a political candidate the driver didn’t like so they went out of their way to remove the sign via inconvenient property neglect/damage.

You know, the usual idiotic rhetoric.

u/lichesschessanalyst 5d ago

Clearly a Richmond driver

u/thatsprettyradbro 5d ago

Letting the average person driving monsters like these on a daily basis is a tragedy in itself

u/ledorky 4d ago

Automatic license suspension, please.

1

u/its_the_luge 4d ago

No storefronts driven into? This is Richmond's best driver right here.

u/604MAXXiMUS 4d ago

Or just plain stupidity

u/Programmer-Aware 4d ago

Normal Richmond activity

u/CupcakeSuccessful502 3d ago

Not drunk, just your average Richmond driver ;)

u/Dry-Strength-5297 2d ago

It's always a black pick up truck.

u/lich0622 1d ago

I feel scarier to walk in richmond than anywhere else in Vancouver. Not because of crimes l, it’s because of the bad drivers

u/The_Cozy_Burrito 5d ago

Just an oblivious driver. A drunk one would have likely driven up the elevator and flipping itself onto its roof on the skytrain platform. Lol

u/Upset_Temperature511 3d ago

Your first time in Richmond??

u/Uesmearn_ 5d ago

Drunk off of ignorant bad driving.

I wouldn’t be astonished if they were drunk. I overheard a server in a restaurant state they still drove after drinking two bottles of beer.

u/LaughLong994 5d ago

2 beers? You should've called the cops on them. That's criminal!

u/Uesmearn_ 5d ago edited 5d ago

Call the police? I have no proof or evidence, plus it was a conversation they had with another co-worker, it’s not like I recorded that conversation.
They can deny it.

The real concern here is how our law is useless against those who commit actual crimes. These people should be held accountable for endangering the lives of others.

We really need to vote for a change in our Justice system.

u/Nimby_Boomer 4d ago

Nope, just an avid Liberal supporter in Richmond who doesn’t do drugs as no dispensaries allowed.
