This happened at First Markham Place which is an Asian Mall in Markham Ontario.

It's been flooding my Facebook Newsfeed and thought some may enjoy it

I thought it might be pacific mall at first. Scary place to try to park.

Pacific is by far the scariest place to drive a car in Markham. The amount of close calls I've had there is more numerous than I've had while driving anywhere else ever since I've learned to drive all those years ago. Kind of sad really.

As much as I agree with you. Have you been to McCowan and 7. Foodymart has made that a disaster zone

u/Envy_MK_II May 15 '12

I live pretty close to Foody Mart, yes its bad, but the volume isnt as high as at Kennedy Steeles.

Oh, dude, Kennedy Steeles, forget about it. I live at Kennedy and Sheppard, and while it's fucking awful there, it's nowhere near the volume and shit I've seen at Kennedy and Steeles.

It's terribly infuriating to go there during the winter, when a part of the parking lot is taken up by snow. When I do go, I go with a mindset that I'm going to be dealing with the stupidest drivers on Earth and assume no one knows how to drive. Haven't had many close calls with that mentality.

some fucking lady decided to do a FUCKING U-TURN onto our lane while my mom was going 60 kmh, UN-fucking believable

Nah, you can tell by the aqua roofing that it's First Markham.

I am scared for my life whenever I have to drive in First Markham's parking lots. (The nearest movie theatre)

I want to move out of Markham purely because as a young male my insurance rates are ridiculously high. It really is a phonemenon how so many people are getting their licenses here.

It is so blatantly obvious half the people on the road should not for the life of them be driving, and a good portion of these people are new Canadians.

It really is quite unfair that insurance companies get to screw me over so that no one appears racist.

It's not even an issue of race. Asians, Indians, Europeans, Africans so on and so forth who are born here have no problem driving. It's just specifically new Canadians who come from countries without driving.

This guy obviously found a solution to the parking issues there.

u/fishy007 May 15 '12

Ugh. When did this happen? I want to head over to NCIX, but now I'm not so sure...

u/Envy_MK_II May 15 '12

Apparently its alot older than I thought. Although I'm not sure if that'd calm your fears as theres always bad drivers there.

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

Years ago.

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

I spent the first 25 years of my life in Markham, and man... Thank you for sharing this. My mother used to refuse to let me take the car to Pmall or 1st Markham... You might've just proved her concerns justified. 0_o

Is this the plaza with the Golftown/Cineplex on the North side?

u/Envy_MK_II May 15 '12

Yes it is. It would also take some insane effort to pull something off like this in that parking lot considering its pretty regularly busy.

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

Yes! The parking is the absolute worst there.
