    We learn what we live. Being from the GTA is likely the bigger factor.

    Young and invincible.

    Bravo!
    You hit the nail on the head, Ontario drivers suck and always have, Alberta too.

    Funny thing is lately BC has been giving us Albertans a run for our money.

    So I've been hearing.:)

    Actually, I noticed as far back as 2005, last time I was in BC, that driving habits had changed over the years.
    Witnessed a lot of 4 wheel stupidity and unusually high number of animal carcasses, which may be connected.

    From Osoyoos to Cranbrook I must have seen a 100 or more dead animals that night, most appeared to be fresh.

    Just go from Hinton to Valemount. Must be allergic to oil or something because they can't get away fast enough.

    Manitoba seems to have pretty courteous drivers (outside of Winnipeg at least).

    Not a whole lot of drama driving around MB, generally speaking.
    Wpg is like most cities, high densities of fools per square mile, the greater the density the more fools you encounter.
     
    not4hire and tinytim Thank this.

    I walked from the casino on the main drag (Regent?) to the Canadian Tire down the block and heard tires squeal no less than 4 times lol.

    Its rampant across all of Ontario, I blame that stupid 105km/h governor law. The truckers are just as bad as the car drivers at this point, don't even get me started on dump truckers in the GTA. Not even surprised when I see a news headline with a 18 wheeler accident and the driver is from Brampton/Missisauga.

    Stay safe out there y'all.
     
    BigHossVolvo and Phantom Trucker Thank this.

    I agree that the speed limiter law is stupid, but not the cause of accidents and is being used as an excuse for piss-poor drivers/habits. A speed limiter doesn't make a truck tailgate, speed through construction zones or towns nor does it make a truck drive too fast for road conditions. All the things "caused" by speed limiter are under the control of the loose nut behind the steering wheel.
