I got to say it is very frustrating when Brandon drivers do not use their signal lights! I notice a lot of times when drivers DO use them..they are turning them on AS they are turning. Also notice most drivers turning left into a double lane, turn directly into the RIGHT lane..instead of using the left lane and then later signal into the right lane if need be. I wonder why drivers are becoming so lazy! You are operating a motor vehicle and do not own the roads. You share the roads. Please try and be good role models for our younger generations and help avoid accidents. Thank you

Reading forums on here is like deja-vu. I will tell you why I pass on right side when turning left:  
Some people forget to go when arrow is green or will crawl through the intersection at 10Km/hr. Those arrows don't last long. When you got hot food items that need to get out, I don't dilly-dally through the lights. I won't be waiting for the straight thru traffic or the next green. Pick up the pace, people! ;)  
As for signalling: FWC (first world compaint). Everyone has forgotten at some point even "US GOOD DRIVERS".  
I am yet to see any serious injuries or deaths due to mistakes made within the city's speed limit. Even being sideswiped or bumped is not fatal. Funny how everything looks so dramatic to some people. (not naming you, but I have seen other posts where people say "it's only a matter of time before we see a fatality".)  
Defensive driving is key. (Anticipate errors from others). Learn that and you will be accident free.  
Just my take. I have been wrong before  
Have a good day.

When turning left at a green light...Turning directly into the right lane instead of taking the inner lane. If that makes sense. And yes I know it can be petty, but I personally find the city flow very slow and discombobulated compared to most cities as far as traffic flow and alert drivers goes. Would be interesting to see Brandon drivers in other aggressive cities such as Edmonton or Winnipeg. Just hoping for more self awareness with signaling as well as being conscious of other traffic around you

should also be good role models but they are no better than other drivers. I was behind a police car the other day or rolled through a stop sign and did not use his turn signal. I've seen other police cars roll through stop signs.
