19:10 - 1998 Honda Civic is now going south on Bathurst Street in Vaughan, and pulls into left-turn lane, waiting to turn left onto Carrville Road (16th Avenue). What's this? A 2010 Silver Acura MD-X is in the left-turn lane, with only one car in front of it, but when the lights turned amber, did not take the chance to go. That's okay, 98HC is in no rush. Waiting, waiting... the lights turn green for Bathurst now, but the Silvacura is not moving... it is waiting behind the white lines... not pulling out a little... and not signalling! That's okay, 98HC is in no rush. Light now turns amber... and Silvacura is not going! But, the left-turn signal is now flashing. BEEEEEEEEEP goes the horn of 98HC. Slowly goes Silvacura... wait, it is braking. Why?! The light is amber and we are both in the intersection... why brake? Soon, both cars are on Carrville Road going east, and 98HC notices that the brains if Silvacura are a 20-something Middle-Eastern lady with oversized plastic sunglasses on (it was cloudy and raining today).
19:40 - After picking up some yogurt at Price Chopper on Yonge/Cummer... 98HC turns left from Cummer onto Yonge Street south... but what's this? A 2001 Purplish Honda Accord is coming out of a plaza on the west side of Yonge Street and seems to be choosing the far-left lane to go into, rather than the far-right lane as it is supposed to. There are three lanes on this portion of Yonge... but Purpccord is not signalling and choosing the lane farthest from point of entry! The sense of 98HC is that collision is imminent without action... so... BEEEEEEEEEEEEP... all-of-a-sudden a Middle-Eastern kid pops up from the back seats to see what is going on. Apparently, the beeping awoke him from his unseatbelted nap. And still, Purpccord does not know what is going on and continues trajectory towards far-left lane. 98HC notices that the brains of Purpccord are also a Middle-Eastern lady of maybe late 40's age.
98HC forgives them both, however, for it may be hard to make the switch from piloting Camel to piloting Autocarriage.
