    I cross frequently between Ontario/Quebec on the 401 and as soon as i cross into Quebec the drivers instantly turn into crap. Hell everyone rips on Brampton drivers but I'd take them over anyone from Quebec. Rarely ever been west so I'd like to hear what you think.

    BC. Hands down.

    If you'd have asked me 10 years ago I'd have said Ontario or Quebec, with Alberta being right up there on the list too.

    BC hands down lol. Edmonton and Toronto used to be worse, but BC is so far beyond everyone else; it’s not even funny.

    I have to agree with BC based "New Canadian" :rolleyes: drivers.
    Watching them try to back onto a dock or into a parking space is amusing - until they're trying to back next to YOU. Then it becomes frightening!

    Trucker ON or BC.
    4 wheelers ON or AB but as it was explained to me by someone the move from ontario to alberta. Most of the bad drivers in AB are transplants from ontario. Lol

    Most of the population in Alberta are from other provinces.
    It would be nice if they would standardize the driving regulations across Canada.

    I think Quebec and I’m sure it’s because of something they’re taught. I’ve never once seen a car with Quebec plates merge onto the highway at highway speed. They’ll pull onto the highway in a 100 KM zone doing 60 KM obviously unaware to the 140,000 lbs that’s barrelling down on them with the driver screaming and spitting on the windshield while he tries to lock the truck up and avoid them. Then they proceed to say a little prayer, light a cigarette, all while not looking back and then they punch it and do 160 km all day long.

    Quebec drivers are the worst, especially in the environs around Montreal. I remember one time I was stuck in heavy traffic on Autoroute 40 (the elevated stretch north of downtown) when 2 guys on crotch-rockets passed me at 120 kmh on the "shoulder", which wasn't more than about 1m wide! Also, about half the drivers seem to drive by the old French rule of priorite adroit, and about half of the drivers don't....

    As a Manitoban it saddens me to say all the worse companies are plating their trucks here over the last few years.. we are becoming the Surrey of the prairies.

    Manitoba's a real nice province. I considered moving to around Steinbach or Morris a couple years ago.
