I drove in Montreal for many years. Seems to me that there are two rules: 1) Always drive the speed of the traffic around you (very fast!). Never slow down. No matter what you want to do, maintain your speed. Slowing down is death. 2) Always expect the cars around you to do the unexpected. They're very predictable in that way... ;-) Driving in Montreal is much easier than in Toronto in my experience. Then again, I've never ridden a bike in Montreal... cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
