Cars to Go....GO

posted May 30th, 2014 at 6:41 PM

I live in the West End and as you can guess there is limited parking available, and going the transit route just isn't viable for me. 1 block away from my apartment there are designated spaces for the little Smart Car to Go vehicles. So WHY when those spaces are empty do several of them choose to park in spaces that are for public non commercial resident use. A few weeks ago there were 6 of them within 1 block of their designated spaces while those spaces remained vacant. AAAARRRGGHHHH.

Watch out for those C2G folks on the road - as they don't drive very often, I notice that they are the first to forget to signal and the genral rules of right-of-way. I fear them as a pedestrian and am wary of them as a driver.

Funny you should say that. A C2G driver just had a glancing head-on with a car on Nanaimo at Ferndale just outside my place.

Looks like one of them might have been trying a U-turn. Both okay physically.

True.

Well, how do you respond? Do you say that "people suck" and you will treat them worse? Or that "people need role models in not sucking" and you try to model the courtesy, thoughtfulness and non-sucking that you would prefer to see in people generally and Smart Car drivers particularly?

I'm not saying there is a right or wrong answer to that question.
