Most certainly the driver is going to lose his license.

People that do poo poo like this don't care if they have a license or not.

In my old age I tend to favor gas stations that aren't a complete clusterfuck trying to get out of in the direction I wish to travel.

There is a gas station nearby which has 4-5 islands with a large convenience store, an A&W with drive thru and the cherry on top - a fairly large full service sit down restaurant attached to it.

All with a single entrance/exit on a busy road that is about 50' from major controlled highway intersection :downs:

Oh yeah, you have to drive either through or around the pump islands to get to the restaurant. I am not sure how this design got approved. They shouldn't even allow left hand turns out of it - it's a disaster. You'll get one chucklefuck who'll insist on turning left to get out during rush hour which will back everyone up in the parking lot for like 10 minutes. Of course they could turn right and, you know, go around the block (or any other multitude of ways) but refuse to do it because MUST TURN LEFT.

Shameful route planning.

There is a dumpsterfire of terrible route planning in Winnipeg right now.

If the Honda driver was going less than 100 it would make it even worse.

What an awful thing. This story talks a little bit more about the MB driver. NOT to excuse her in the slightest, but what a poo poo show.

I doubt that's much of a problem at somewhat legal speeds, at 100mph, yeah that might be an issue.

Short of your ABS failing or using your park brake, can you lock up your wheels on a modern car?

Oh for sure I get announcing a closure on social media, but you still need to put a barricade, sign or a pylon up on an actual closed road. The OP was saying there was nothing else.

God dammit I'm a moron. I thought it was closed before, because of some sort of work, not because of the tree.

Did I just listen to someone actually give themselves a stroke because he didn't get out of the passing lane? Jesus what a jackass.

Spotted today:

This guy was a loving contractor, which suggests he does this pretty much every day. The trailer was also riding on the bumpstops and had no signal lights or brake lights.

I would literally call the cops on a guy like that. How loving stupid do you have to be. I get going around the block or your front yard to back, but around the city on major roads? I mean, make an attempt with a $5 tarp at the minimum FFS.

I had someone at a gas station pull forward to the hood of my car while I was pumping gas, making me have to reverse to leave. Its not me, thats lovely right? If a station is busy and you have to wait drive your car around until you're facing the same direction as the person in front of you.

It depends. It kind of is, but it's better than pulling up to a gas island with 2 open pumps and stopping at the first one.

Off the top of my head, I think Costco is the only one I've seen in Canada (or Alberta at least) where there is any kind of clear directional control for the pump islands. As in, full DO NOT ENTER or ONE WAY ONLY signs and you'd have an attendant talk to you if you if you tried.

I have no idea whatsoever where the claim comes from or how true it is, but I've definitely heard that Sweden has more restored American 1950s cars than the United States itself has today.
