Re: Standards of driving in Canada

Do you think the local law enforcement officers are better drivers than the public at large?

Re: Standards of driving in Canada

The worst of it being snowy is that the phone doesn't work well so you can't even fill in the tedium of driving at the speed limit by chatting or texting.

Re: Standards of driving in Canada

I didn't clear it. I didn't even clear the windrow, just blasted through it.

Re: Standards of driving in Canada

There is snow here this morning, not a lot of snow, perhaps 4".

There was snow last winter too, that's why they call it the snowbelt. The entire population seems to have been replaced by new...

Re: Standards of driving in Canada

Hat wearing is a good indicator here too. Also, "Baby on Board" signs, chrome fish, Buick/Caddy, grey or beige Toyota or Honda, rhinestone encrusted tissue box holder on rear parcel shelf, beads...

Re: Standards of driving in Canada

That seems improbable, babies are in those cumbersome seat things, they're hard to miss. Anyway, why "first"?

Re: Standards of driving in Canada

When in Rome and all that. Drunk driving is part of Canadian life, I don't think it's the place of the immigrant to criticize something so fundamental to the unhyphenated culture.

Re: Standards of driving in Canada

I rarely type, the internet connection from the notebook isn't really good enough for that. Instead I do the thumb twisting thingy with the phone.

Re: Standards of driving in Canada

I acknowledge that it's unlawful. No surprise there, in Ontario most everything is.

I wondered though why a member of the public should object to it.

Re: Standards of driving in Canada

I wasn't aiming for "funny" with that post. The whole "I can reproduce so I'm important" attitude behind the "Baby on Board" signs baffles me. We can all do that.

Re: Standards of driving in Canada

I don't get this use of children to validate opinion. "Baby on Board", so what? If you've a disinclination to collision it's not more or less justifiable because you've a acquired an infant. Drive...

Re: Standards of driving in Canada

I'm not sure I see the complaint about the texting, is the objection that it caused the driver to go slowly? If so, I feel your pain.

Re: Standards of driving in Canada

In the summer I expect to see a fight on the 410 every third day or so. People get very hostile when you say something to them like "get your shitbox Honda off the highway, it's not worth blocking a...

Re: Standards of driving in Canada

I sometimes fear that I lower the standard of driving in Ontario. I usually go at the posted speed limit in miles though sometimes much faster. One night this week I noticed that I was going 120mph...
