1. Turn signals will give away your next move. A confident Quebec driver
avoids using them.
2. Under no circumstance should you maintain a safe distance between you
and the car in front of you, because the space will be filled in by somebody
else, putting you in an even more dangerous situation.
3. The faster you drive through a red light, the less of a chance you have
of getting hit.
4. Warning! Never come to a ******** stop at a stop sign. No one expects it
and it will result in your being rear-ended.
5. Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive bodywork,
especially with NB or Ontario plates. With no insurance, the other operator
has nothing to lose.
6. Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible to ensure that your
ABS kicks in, giving a vigorous, foot massage as the brake pedal violently
pulsates. For those of you without ABS , it's a chance to strengthen your
leg muscles.
7. Never pass on the left when you can pass on the right. It's a good way
to prepare other drivers entering the highway.
8. Speed limits are arbitrary figures; given only as a suggestion and are
not enforceable in Quebec during rush hour, especially in Montreal.
9. Just because you're in the left lane and have no room to speed up or
move over doesn't mean that a Quebec driver flashing his high beams behind you
doesn't think he can go faster in your spot.
10. Always brake and rubberneck when you see an accident or even someone
changing a tire. This is seen as a sign of respect for the victim.
11. Learn to swerve abruptly without signaling. Quebec is the home of
high-speed slalom-driving; thanks to the department of Public Works, which
puts pot-holes in key locations to test drivers' reflexes and keep them
alert.
12. It is tradition in Quebec to honk your horn at cars in front of you
that do not move three milliseconds after the light turns green.
13. To avoid injury in the event of a collision or roll-over, it is
important to exit your vehicle thru the windshield right away. Wearing your
seat belt will only impede your hi-velocity escape from danger.
14. Remember that the goal of every Quebec driver is to get ahead of the
pack by whatever means necessary.
15. In Quebec, 'flipping the bird' is considered a polite salute. This
gesture should always be returned.
Thank You - The Quebec Registrar of Motor Vehicles
