^^ Toronto driving is heaven? Well depends which way you look at it. The way people drive? yes that's true because I've been to so many countries and let me tell you how fucked up ppl drive there. In friggen Russia, sidewalks are a part of a road! In Germany, there are no speed limits! In France, ppl hit you in the back and in the front when getting out of 2" by 4" parking spaces! In NYC, you can't drive period! So yes in that regard, Toronto is heaven. However in terms of fucked up traffic, that's a different story. Toronto has evolved so much over the past decade. More and more houses are being built, more and more ppl move here, and more and more cars are on the roads these days, however the roads stay the same and no highways are being built. The minister of transportation here is a RETARD!!! In other countries, I've seen so much being built to help limit the traffic, like building highways specifically for trucks or pedestrian crosswalks to help in downtown traffic jams. But here in Canada, with all the infrastructure in the world, we aren't building shit!!! Time to select a new minister!!!

unless its a school zone...

i dont like to honk or drive 2" away from someone...but if u piss me off then ull know...thehehe

driving at speed limit... come on, you deserve to be honked.


Toronto is a nightmare?? compared to other big cities, its heaven. Try driving in Damascus, no one respect stops, right of way does not exist, and if there's no cops at the light, people drive thru when its red ... you'll have heart attacks. I drove for 10 minutes, then gave up, and I am a very agressive driver... but I just couldn't
Also, they honestly never heard of the blind spot.

Hmmm i don't drive here yet... but when i get my license changed to a canadian one... fear!

I have the worst road rage ever. Except for Carlos's sister. She's goes insane behind the wheel, which is one of the main reasons i love driving around with her.

Whatever it may take I keep on trying.

my dad drove in manhattan once when we went to newyork
i was in the car
ive neevr had so much stress in my life AND i wasnt the driver

they only have one way streets, if you're on a highway a sign to exit is after an actual exit so if you see a sign then you most likely passed your exit and coming back to that exit you're most likely gonna get lost
like for example we ended up in queens somehow (99.9% black people from what i saw)
driving downtown is rudiculous, every 1.5 cars is a cab, no parking on the street cuz everything is taken, millions of people jaywalking everywhere and if you want to park underground its $24.95 US for 3hours, im not even gonna talk about those streets with the subway bridge on top of you and the poles to hold it divide the lanes in half.
fuck that, never again

edit: driving downtown toronto IS heaven compared to nyc

This is the same story I heard and it's confirmed

PPL who drive DT are by far 100000000000% better then suburb drivers. Even sur-passes all beyond GTA drivers.

Suburb Drivers can't Parallel park at all

B/C of the DT driving aggressiveness, it really trains you to be such a solid driver.

hey kel, it took me a while to get used to driving here too. i will even admit that i'm not comfortable behind the wheel here.

i went from a small town and driving on dirt roads with no other cars to living in Ottawa where drivers are super nice except running red lights when they have just turned (it's a weird observation i made) to toronto where everyone drives fast and no one signals where they are going and double parking is legal it seems.

BUT, i have been to Montreal where the drivers are assholes and highways are too narrow and all fucked up. and i have been to New York where there is WAY TOO MANY people. Toronto is actually good compared to other places and you will get used to it.

as for driving the speed limit, if an asshole honks at you for driving the speed limit then slow down even more. there is nothing that they can do. if you are going the speed limit, then they can go fuck themselves or go around, if they can't then back to option 1 (go fuck themselves).

I am also a fan of this maneuvre. The best way to do it is to simply remove your foot from the gas pedal and NOT compress the brake, thereby not signalling a slowing down via brake lights. You just slowly coast to a lower speed, which is even more infuriating to the driver behind you because it's not blantantly obvious that you are doing so. Usually by the time they figure it out, it's a nice chunk of brake slam and a sore neck for a couple days.

To all those drivers that like to honk and be obnoxious ******s: If you're in a hurry, leave earlier asshole.
