People are no longer able to drive the speed limit because the roads are in such a poor shape in QC.

Dude i just drove back and forth to a mountain lake chalet twice in a day which's main road is closed so everyone is using this poor old beaten dirt path, there are no signs, except a * road closed* when you get on it which you have to to ignore to keep climbing like a mad person, and fuck now any asphalted road with signs that is mildly straight feels like luxury

more or less most of those rules apply in italy, most notably exception lane splitting, the main purpose of scooters and motorcycles is lane splitting traffic :D and as a motorcyclist myself is very satisfating pass all of them. during past weeks, several people use very low traffic on the road not to slowing down, but to increase speed, 90 speed limit? no problem drive well over 100...

I wish there was an easy way to remove ice from your car. Scraping works fine on windows but the paint doesn't take it too well. Also smashing it can be hard if the ice is thick.
@PRNTestDrive
@PRNTestDrive 4 жыл бұрын
The only thing I’ve found that works better, better being the operative word over scratching the paint, is a foam scraper. It’s softer on the paint and didn’t scratch during the 3 winters I’d use it, it just didn’t form to the curves as well so it would take a little longer to clear it off.

Yeah, I don't know why it's so bad in Eastern ontario. Even on a four-lane highway road (actually stroad, but whatever), but you're required to come to complete stop and I will come to a stop in the right-hand Lane for an oncoming emergency vehicle even if there is no traffic I'll have someone behind me with no intention of stopping coming dangerously close to rear-ending me because they weren't thinking I was going to come to a complete stop, EVEN THOUGH IT'S THE LAW TO MOVE OVER AND **STOP**

I actually got a ticket for snow covering my car. It was my bad because the back window really was fully covered (the cop who stopped me told me that he followed me a while with his light flashing and I didn't stop because I couldn't see). My argument was that it was a rental and the car rental place didn't give me a brash.

I lived in Quebec for years and then moved to Ontario. I generally think people in Quebec pull over for emergency vehicle...(It's often hard to even pull over in Montreal tho)...matter of fact, I do think people in Quebec drive better than ontarians. Especially during winter...(I have seen more idiot drivers in Ontario than Quebec. also, people are more obedient to speed limits in Quebec than Ontario, when I moved to Ontario a few years ago, I was often the slowest car on the road because I was used to follow the speed limit... 😄 i don't have a thing for quebecers and my experience might be unique lol, but it's just my experience considering that I have lived in both provinces for a few years.

Not likely, typically you need to have insurance for the jurisdiction you reside in. If you somehow have a Quebec driver's license then you'd be able to get insurance here in the province. Some exceptions may exist, I was able to get insurance on my BMW 7 Series when I moved here from Desjardins in Quebec despite the BMW still being registered in Ontario, but my license itself was issued by Quebec so I had an address here.

i got my probationary license 3 weeks ago and there were 2 police cars stopped on the side of the road. one of them who had stopped someone and one of them was waiting there, to stop someone. I had just merged onto the highway and so many cars were going into the left lane and i had no way of getting into the left lane because cars were going fast and io was already going slow because i saw a police car. the police car ended top taking all my demerit points away and giving me a 315$ ticket. He could've been nice and taken off 1-2 since i just got my license BUT NOOOO he had to be an ass and take my driving privileges away. but we are contesting it

That definitely sounds like a shitty situation, and I feel for you. Often I find that situations like that are unavoidable, there are plenty of times I've tried to merge on the highway and wasn't given room to get on, even at night when that driver could have moved into the other lane. I would definitely take this to court and fight it, even if you still have to pay a fine it's best to go in and explain your side of the story. I hope it works out for you.

What about MMA enclosed mobility scooters. Are the legal to use on the sidewalks? Example the shoprider4 flagship s mobility scooter. Is very small. 2 person can only fit inside and use. I'm thinking of moving to Montreal but there's no mention if a standard sized scooter with door's and roof are legal the scooter protects and keeps user safe and warm with heater, windshield wiper heat also defrost windows keeping them clear. Want to buy one as 4mph speed for sidewalks meets Quebec regulations . Plus reply asap. You can google what it looks like thank you Cheers m8 😊

That's why Québec's autoroutes all have maximum and minimum speed postings, most of them are 60km/h minimum, 100km/h maximum, so doing 50kph on the autoroute on a clear day will absolutely get you pulled over. I went through the ENTIRE highway safety legislation when putting together this video.
