fine? that bridge is over 50 years old, maybe even close to 70, and as far as I know the government has done nothing to repair the supporting structure so what happened in minneapolis could darn well happen here as well, but there will likely be more injured or dead if that does happen. I do agree with you on one point though, drunks and speeders doo cause most of the accidents on that bridge.

The Bridge is fine , a re-pave and it would be excellent. The problem is drunks or speeders or plain old idiots. I've driven that bridge for 20+ years and more people just don't care about others so they put everyone at risk.

It's because in Canada, we get used to having lanes ten feet wider than our cars, and people get used to not 'having' to drive in tight areas. In Sydney Australia, it's common to be 2 or 3 feet from the truck next to you while driving 60 kph in the suburbs.

Seriously what is so fucking hard about staying in your own god damned lane on that bridge!? Are people that inept they can't steer their cars properly?! Everytime I take that bridge when I visit the in-laws some asshole almost kills my family and I by swerving into my lane!

dude this video would be better if you went in the fast lane. I used to drive the pattullo everyday, sure the pinch (aka the corner at the end is a bitch but the bridge isn't that bad. The problem is idiots who insist on going like 100 km/h in that kind of traffic

5 people have died in different accidents in Surrey in the past WEEK. Not *that* is a scary statistic. Almost all accidents happen in the late night or early morning, when the drivers are tired, impatient or just plain drunk. The first thing they should "fix", in my opinion, is to add cameras to catch the irresponsible drivers. Thanks for these vids and your opinion on Vancouver traffic. :)

2nd point, this week's accident was a single-vehicle accident, completely due to the careless driving of the motorcyclist who died. It's a shame for sure, but this accident would not have been avoided if there was a center-lane barrier. (see next post again, haha)
