In light of these new stories of VicPD's dangerous driving circulating on Reddit, here's a thread of cases of VicPD intentionally hitting cyclists and pedestrians, losing control at 80 km/hr on Dallas Road, wrecking their car at a BC Housing site, and other dangerous driving. 🧵 #yyj
Reddit screenshot. r/Victoria BC 4 hr. ago. User: Bubsington. Nearly struck by an undercover VicPD Cycling East bound on Bay approaching Blanshard (cyclists allowed full use of lane and I'm in p2/p3 right lane) and I get passed within a foot of my bars by a black mustang, half in my lane half in the available left lane. I catch up at the light and come along side to see if the driver would be willing to hear out my concerns about how needlessly dangerous that pass was. To my surprise... It's a VicPD unmarked car! They rolled down their window and their only reply was "well did I hit you?". No acknowledgement of my mention of the 1 meter passing law or of how unsafe that was, nothing, just kept saying "well I didn't hit you did I?" I expect this from average motorists but from an on duty police officer? If someone passed a motorcycle cop like this I reckon they'd have a very angry cop and a ticket or two. If anyone else has had similar interactions with this car VB2 01E, or officer Fuller please consider reporting it. This is the kind of officer that might kill someone one day. Yes I reported it and no they won't get a ticket. Update: Chief called and said the officer was sorry for disregarding my concerns and giving me "the impression of passing me too closely". Also mentioned that car has no cameras. Be careful out there folks. Reddit screenshot. NHL95onSEGAgenesis 3h ago It’s a trend! I was almost right-hooked by an undercover or off-duty but in uniform VicPD officer on the Shelbourne bike lane at North Park just yesterday. I had a green and the right of way but they swung a right of shelbourne right in front of me and I had to slam on the brakes. I came to a stop about 2 feet from their path of travel, close enough to see them smiling and chatting away, completely oblivious to the fact that they almost took me out. They just kept driving. It was bright daylight, 3:30pm, I was wearing bright reflective gear and had my front and rear lights on bright flashing mode. If the police don’t care about road safety, how can we expect other drivers to? It’s a war zone out there.

Courtright is also on leave to run for Esquimalt council [Don't do it, Esquimalt! My main Courtright memory is how rude she was to the Human Rights Commissioner. Cool energy for a city councillor!]

Most popular cars I see on #VictoriaBC roads (next to Teslas) are BMWs and VWs. Both companies have terrible histories with Nasism, one employing slave labour the other being founded by Nazis and managed by the Labour Front.

What’s with popular modern car manufacturers and Nazism?

I’ve had many arguments over the downsides of purchasing a vehicle from a new, unproven manufacturer. Who would have thought the owner coming out a Nazi was the clincher? I mean Henry Ford never saluted in public, he kept that shit behind closed doors. #YYJpoli
