Canadians on the whole are a pretty courteous lot. They hold doors open for others, queue politely, behave themselves at sports events and are generally nice. They are nice that is until they get behind the wheel. Like Mr Walker in the 1950 Disney cartoon they turn into Mr Wheeler with all his aggressive driving traits.
It seems that Canadians, or certainly those who drive in Toronto, discover the car horn first when learning to drive. Whether stationary or driving beeping is considered mandatory. A car in front, beside or even behind must be honked at regardless of what the other driver had done, was doing or might consider doing in the future.
Indicators must only be a device on the side of the steering wheel for hanging handbags or something as there is little evidence that they are actually used, especially when travelling at 80 miles per hour along the freeways and lane changes are made.
Running red lights is a national pastime so it always pays for pedestrians to wait a few extra seconds to allow the last moron to get through the intersection. I'm forever giving the finger to the last couple of idiots who go through the last of the yellow lights and through the reds.
