here's the thing... what passes for terrible drivers in the rest of the country is the normal thing in New York and Boston. But Quebec drivers, you guys take bad driving to an entirely NEW plateau!

Drivers from Seattle can be pretty bad too. They do fine on the highway but on city streets? Oh god.

I dunno... I mean, driving in Quebec is fucking scary, but they get the fuck out of your way, and you're expected to get out of theirs. It kinda works.

Um, just inside Quebec, Power goes out, lights start flashing. What do you do at a flashing red? Apparently in Quebec it's go as fast as you f-ing can even though there are people in the intersection already with an amber.

Posted by jeepdave Has anyone ever driven in SoCal? Dear Lord. They wreck in a heavy dew.
I was in a conference room a few minutes before a meeting was to begin. 20 people all sittin' around bitchin' about how bad Californians drive in the rain.........I got all of their attention, and asked for all of the people that were born in California to raise their hands. Three people raised their hands.
I told them, here's the problem, it's all the transplants that drive like shit!!!!

We have LOTS of New Yorkers around here during the summer, as I'm sure you're also used to in your neck of the woods.
I'm always amazed how I-95 is fucking insane, but when they get out here, they can barely manage the speed limit and just point at the god damn cows and flowers.

Québec is not that bad really, but I am from there. I find driving through Scarborough or Brampton way more freaky.
Bandi is right though, if you're in the left lane, people GTFO. In Ontario, on the 401, it seems that you have to push people up the ass for 20 minutes doing 100km-h to get the message across.

I drove daily Guelph to Toronto for 3 years. Honestly, drives on daily commutes totally courteous with very little troubles. Weekend driving down the same stretch was like a death sentence. Not cool at all
