Simply put, Halifax drivers dob’t know how to drive. Too much courtesy is as good as no courtesy at all. Don’t stop and let stupid people cross the street outside of crosswalks. Take a page from Quebec and learn how to drive. —Blais

This isn’t Quebec.
“Take a page from Quebec and learn how to drive”!! That is the funniest thing I have seen so far to day…and I have been up for a while!
I met some tourists from Quebec and the first thing they mentioned was that they were impressed with how courteous the drivers are here.
AN EXCELLENT BITCH
“Take a page from Quebec and learn how to drive.” Blais
Blais (pronounced “Blay”) has posted an excellent Bitch. As he correctly points out, too much courtesy is worse than not enough. There is nothing which infuriates Quebec drivers more than some buffoon slowing down traffic to avoid a stupid pedestrian attempting to cross the Decarie Expressway at rush hour. He must be made to pay. Big time.
A pleasure as always,
Cheerio!

I was just in Quebec. It blows my mind that the cars there still dont come equipped with turn signals.
“Halifax drviers (sic) suck!”
Apparently, so do Halifax speellrs (sic)!
Have to agree completely with this bitch.
Mwagon, you clearly haven’t been to Quebec.
They drive cars like they’re condoms…. recklessly and disposable.
what’s a drviers? French for ‘not quite your bum area?’
haha damn, I consider myself a good driver, But If I’m on Spring Garden or Barrington or by the Waterfront I generally let people jaywalk, or sometimes if theirs no one behind me I will… Guilty as charged, Am I sentenced to a year of driving in Quebec duh duh duhhhhh
^^^ I do the same when I am in an area where traffic is already moving slowly. And if there is an overly aggressive driver inches from my bumper I always take my time pulling away from and approaching stop signs and lights because I want him to slow the frick down and stop being so aggressive.
The way I see it, if you are a surgeon on your way to do an emergency transplant then make haste, otherwise your hurry is both self induced and imaginary. You aren’t as important as you think you are – so get over it.
