The road would be a better place if you just gave each other more space! No wonder so many collisions, every one is glued to each other bumper to bumper at every speed. Passing and changing lanes without signalling, and driving to the point of cutting each other off! Where did you get your licence a cracker jack box? If drinking and driving and texting and/or being on the phone and driving are equally dangerous, why do I still see all you drivers on the phone, and some of you are tailgating at the same! time! —D’Andre Ruin

I know of a secret weapon to deal with these situations. I honk the horn and sometimes blow my rape whistle at them. Effective and they get more annoyed then I do, I love winning.
Harder Drivers Exam (make it a real exam), mandatory retesting every 5 years, and make more traffic infractions punishable by a suspended license/jail time.
I promise to enact this as law right after I get elected king of the world.
a bunch of butt-sniffers on the road, always right up the rear of the car ahead, and it doesn’t matter what speed the front car is going. 10-20 k above the max, they’re still on your tail.
i do wish we had front plates as well as rear. would make it easier to catch the number as they weave back and forth behind you. i swear some of them have anal worms, they are so jumpy
my defensive driving skills are proving valuable during this silly season
Plates on the front too, great idea. Now the cops can ignore you when you call 911 and say “someone’s tailgating me”, and “I’m going above the speed limit and they’re still doing it, please send the K-9, I’m a dog lover too”. Good dog molly, please never stop entertaining me.
License …isn’t it bolted on back there ?
some provinces have both front and back plates, surprised the heck out of me when i moved here, to see only back plates. i guess it’s a cost cutting thing?
Once again there Good dog, I love the entertainment. When you get new plates who pays the fee? Now if you got two plates, guess if the fee would double. Yup, sounds like cost cutting to me, saving the driver the cost that is, lol.
Tailgating, texting, talking on the phone, and not using signals are for good drivers. I can tailgate, text, speed and at the same time weave in and out of traffic while drinking coffee, with calculated prowess. I’m awsome though. It’s only other idiots that shouldn’t do this.
I thank my lucky stars that I got bitten by a radioative spider and now I use my spider-sense when in traffic.
People who block the intersection when they know the light’s going to turn red are my pet peeve. Blocking all traffic for an entire light takes a real douche. Quinpool and Oxford and bayers and Mumford or j howe at rush hour can be annoying for this.
Too many people are distracted while driving whether rubber-necking, texting whatever. Tail-gating just adds to the odds of a collision. Have to agree with OP.
Wait until the snow hits and then the damn chaos will start.
I’d vote for you, Hugo.
I can’t admit to being a perfect driver (or so I have been told), but it’s when the rain and snow falls that makes me crazy in this city. People are paralyzed and cannot judge the road conditions at all. Leave extra space for stopping folks!
OP obvi never been to MTL
I had a guy give me shit who was tailgating right on my ass at a red motioning and giving me shit for leaving an intersection UNblocked, like he is in a big rush to get closer to the red light. Idiot. Sorry but I am not changing the rules for you butt sniffer.
