Funny. Different countries and same driving morons ... who always come from other places in the country ... :)) Nope. I hail from the region of Canada that has the worst drivers in the country. We don't use turn signals. We don't shoulder check. We either drive 15km/hr over the speed limit of 15km/hr under, unless we are on the highway, in which case it's 30km/hr under. We have no idea what the left lane is for, but we are sure that we'll want to turn left at some point, so we'd better stay in it (and travel 15-30km/hr under the speed limit). We don't use mirrors (though some ladies do use the vanity mirror for applying make-up, generally while travelling 15-30km/hr under the speed limit in the left lane). Yellow lights create a Pavlovian response in us towards the gas pedal. We are red/green colour blind. We aren't close enough to the car in front until we can't see the tail lights. Stop signs are just a suggestion. We are tough, we yield to no one. You see a pedestrian on a sidewalk, we see a moving target. You see a pedestrain in a crosswalk, we see a moving target wearing a bullseye. No on told us that the game of points for whacking pedestrians isn't really a game. Every one has right of way, the person who has the nicest car yields (our one tip of the hat to defensive driving). Good times.
