Reply With QuoteThe worst are those big red trucks with sirens that never stop for lights or stop signs. I hear the guys in the back carry axes and that's why people pull over to avoid them.

wait till you get taken out by a truck full of mexicans. That'll make the hello kitty death car look like a joke....you'll wish for a death car -DEATH.

Its not only the ricers and the vans causing trouble, a few months ago when I was on a date with a girl on the back of my bike I was on the way home and some jerk off in his souped up Supra Turbo decides to hammer it right behind me and pass me in my own lane. I dont know if you've ever heard a turbo at full blast but its loud, high pitched and in your face and can certainly make you brown your pants if you aren't paying attention. Jerks like that should definitely get their mirror kicked off as well.
Lets Ride
Any car with Ontario plates is a death car. People here don't check their blind spots, signalling is considered optional and done only after the turn/lane change, they have zero lane discipline and they'll run over a box full of puppies and a crying baby to get 1 car length ahead, without a second thought.
When driving to Buffalo, 9/10 times the guy holding up the passing lane will have Ontario plates on. Same goes for Quebec.

Like many active sports, shooting has the potential to cause personal injury.

I actually prefer driving in Italy or some other Europe country more than Toronto. They might seems to drive ruthlessly but nothing taken personally. Well most of the time....
I see too many driver in Toronto trying to screw someone by put themself in a bad situation.
not so pure 2-stroke spirit
Perhaps, but when things go wrong there, they REALLY go wrong there.
any car that, no matter what time of day, traffic flow or conditions will not go 1km over the speed limit, causing 15+ car line ups, all trying to work there way around this one bugger, causing close calls, and short tempers.

I actually consider myself a good driver with only one speeding ticket and one minor car crash in 39 years of driving ( both when I was a teenager and new to driving). Since I took up riding 5 years ago I think my driving has even improved.
Being on a bike, you have to be hypervigilant. You learn to look further down the road, you check your mirrors and blind spots more frequently, you're constantly looking for potential problems. I find myself being less impatient and slowing as I come on traffic signals about to change rather than speeding up to run them. I stop longer at stop signs and do the left, right, left long look before proceeding.
As a rider now , I am fully aware and always on the lookout for bikes. I can't say I ever was before. I never tailgate anyway but with bikes I give them an extra couple of seconds of space and try never to ride beside them on a two lane. I always signal and with bikes in the vacinity, I try to give everyone lots of warning of what i'm about to do.
I think bike riding is something that would improve the safety of all riders and drivers in Canada and I wish they would make new drivers take some kind of course on the subject prior to jumping into a 4000 lb. cage with a G1. As many folks couldn't safely ride a bike it might keep thousands of twits off the road.
Ride safe all,
Cheers,

To be more specific about cabs in Toronto, BECK cabbies are the worst f'ing drivers...
Too many times to mention all the close calls with this company.
those damm brown people drive like they're back in mean streets of new delhi jk
if you think it's bad here... try driving in a over populated 3rd world country. some cities in those countries have more population than all of canada.
Yes I agree, I have driven in the Philippines. 4 lanes painted on the road and 8 cars jamed together on the same road. 2.5 k took 3 hours to drive.
The only ones moving were the family of 5 on the little 125, lol.
Actually New Delhi is pretty bad. Its a RIOT everyday...
I would feel like I am going into battle every time I mounted on my bike there.
so had to mentally prepare for it...
on the flip side..traffic flow is slower. so easier to stop and dodge cows/dogs/morons/jerks/kids/bullets
enjoy:

Buicks, Lincolns & Cadillacs are all death cars, cause the average age of the occupant is 70.
Always stay away from those cars.
And high end sports cars, the drivers are usually all show and can't drive worth a sh**.

At least Asian femmes, although tunnel-visioned and you can spot them a mile away, will change lanes on the highway, albeit, without looking etc, they WILL signal and proceed with the lane change very slowly. In my books, I would rather a dozen of them, than a dozen of the previous mentioned Benz, Audi, SUV "Entitlementlers". Also beware of Chrysler Neons, with a dent here and there. Usually driven by young girls, oblivious to what is around them. And make random movements, and stop for no reason.

Vehicle I hate the most? The Green Minivan. Who buys a green minivan?????

Yur on to something there...the big fat Lincolns who think they are Porsches and run up the right lane at 140 plus. Those boats are not built for performance and I dont think the average donkey driving it is up to snuff either....
