Turning right on red is an obvious exception to that idea. Passing on the right is just a terrible way to drive, a classic DWA approach. It's such a joy to be in America where people have more discipline.

FYI - In Quebec passing on the right (or the left lane, middle lane, on the soft shoulder, in reverse, sideways, or through the friggin' trees at the side of the road) is completely legal. Often one sees friendly Quebecois/e drivers passing on the wrong side of the road (highways included). Indeed, driving in La Belle Prov. is similar to the film Death Race 2000 ;).

Not sure what you mean here?

Right turn on red is legal in all provinces and territories.

From your link:

"Right turn on red light (virage à droite au feu rouge in French) is permitted after stop in all provinces and territories except in the Island of Montreal (île de Montréal in French) in Quebec. Left turn on red light (virage à gauche au feu rouge in French) from a one-way road into a one-way road is permitted after stop except in Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Left turn on red light from a two-way road into a one-way road is permitted after stop in British Columbia only."

so, sometimes it's legal, depending.

As a few peeps looking for advice here have said to me they have given up and I dont blame them, I feel sorry for them that this place is populated by so many people that cant just give advice/pass on experience and let others do the same without causing issues.

Im just thankful I dont need this site for advice!

I have pointed this fact out before when the same argument has been raised in the past.

<...snip!>

A: This is "The Maple Leaf"...an area set up precisely so that people could network / chat / talk a lot of shite / whatever... so dont expect serious info if its posted in this sub forum...

B: It takes two (or more) to have a pissing match or argument, and you yourself seem to be involved in your fair share of them...

I think it would be fair IMHO that ‘The Maple Leaf’ section is correctly described as “Off-topic chat for all those living in or moving to Canada.” So could be considered a “social network chat room site or a site where people share common interests and want a general chat” Not a place that I would consider a great place for fact based advise, certainly I’d agree with anybody that said this was a great place to get peoples opinions, although many on here would attempt to express these as solid indisputable facts……

I don’t think its fair to say win or lose with opinions..
