I was lucky to have been hit behind the rear doors and not further up.

The spinout into the fence was a very expensive, but totally awesome ride.

You know, there places like wonderland where you can experience these kinds of rides for about 35$ a day.

Much less costly AND its legal.

I was in Quebec last week. I want proof before I'm willing to accept this statement because I wasn't even seeing many that even made it up to 'sane'.

Booyaa!

What's up with tickets?
Of the total car insurance quotes completed online in 2006, 16 per cent included at least one ticket. Surprised? Does it seem high or low to you? The answer, we're sure is open to much debate.

So now that you know the percentage for the country as a whole, how do the individual provinces rank?

• Alberta: 17% of Alberta quotes included at least one ticket

• Ontario: 16% of Ontario quotes included at least one ticket

• Quebec: 15% of Quebec quotes included at least one ticket

This is on the streets only and ticket/legal wise. On race tracks, brign it, I'll show you.

Also, there are 15 rules for driving in Quebec. A few are funny and they all seem to describe Quebec drivers well.


-Turn signals will give away your next move. A confident Quebec driver avoids using them.
-Under no circumstance should you maintain a safe distance between you and he car in front of you, because the space will be filled in by somebody else, putting you in an even more dangerous situation.
-The faster you drive through a red light, the less of a chance you have of getting hit.
-Warning! Never come to a complete stop at a stop sign. No one expects it and it will result in your being rear-ended.
-Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive bodywork, especially with NB or Ontario plates. With no insurance, the other operator has nothing to lose.
-Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible to ensure that your ABS kicks in, giving a vigorous, foot massage as the brake pedal violently pulsates. For those of you without ABS, it’s a chance to strengthen your leg muscles.
-Never pass on the left when you can pass on the right. It’s a good way to prepare other drivers entering the highway.
-Speed limits are arbitrary figures; given only as a suggestion and are not enforceable in Quebec during rush hour, especially in Montreal.
-Just because you’re in the left lane and have no room to speed up or move over doesn’t mean that a Quebec driver flashing his high beams behind you oesn’t think he can go faster in your spot.
-Always brake and rubberneck when you see an accident or even someone changing a tire. This is seen as a sign of respect for the victim.
-Learn to swerve abruptly without signaling. Quebec is the home of high-speed slalom-driving; thanks to the Department of -Public Works, which puts pot-holes in key locations to test drivers’ reflexes and keep them alert.
-It is tradition in Quebec to honk your horn at cars in front of you that do not move three milliseconds after the light turns green.
-To avoid injury in the event of a collision or rollover, it is important to exit your vehicle through the windshield right away. --Wearing your seat belt will only impede your hi-velocity escape from danger.
Remember that the goal of every Quebec driver is to get ahead of the pack by whatever means necessary.
-In Quebec, ‘flipping the bird’ is considered a polite salute. This gesture should always be returned

And we dont have more accidents. That just proves how good we really are.

And here I thought the people in Montreal were just doing that because of the construction mess downtown...who would have guessed that constantly getting sideswiped is par for the course...

I see what happened here. I bashed the Cavalier last week, so Wezil knew he couldn't be seen in it. He went out and crashed it for the insurance money.

[Spec]

You mean to tell me he did all that for 500$?!

No no. Thats the other rule:

Ontario is all proud of it's new "street-racing laws". Any car going 50 km/h or higher above the speed limit is automatically deemed to be "racing" (regardless of if it was, you know, racing). This means a minimum $2,000 fine, immediate loss of your license for 7 days, and immediate impounding of your car for 7 days.

...

Thus, people (including cop cars, all the time) go 130-140 km/h on a regular basis. The only time you ever get pulled over when going this speed is when the particular officer is on a power trip or the quotas need to be met.

So now we're at a point where if you go 10-20km/h over the REAL speed limit, you're going to become a "street racer" with massive punishments...

So, what you're saying is that 130-140 isn't fast enough, you've just gotta go faster? Perhaps these drivers are compensating for other deficiencies.

[Asher]

I don't go faster than 140, some do. It's already a huge fine/demerits for going 140 on the 401. 50+ over was already massive. Calling these people "street racers", is ridiculous.

[Spec]

I agree.

Sometimes I'm going 170 (2-3am) just because I wanna get home faster. I ain't racing anyone.

Spec.

[Wezil]

40 over is 4 demerits and a fine of approx. $340

50 over is 6 demerits and a fine of approx $600
