I dunno. You could call the place where that idiot works and ask.

Hit send to flarging soon.

Rule #1 about documenting yourself doing something stupid is don't.

Even if the environs in the video hadn't seemed familiar, the driving itself screamed "Montreal" at me.

Peter Pontbriand did pass the time by typing:

Yes, yes it did. I've driven almost all over the world and Montreal is way up there on the "I'd rather take the bus" list.

Ever been to India? The only place I've ever seen an entire 5-person family motoring on down the road....on a motorcycle.

Nope, that's somewhere I have not been to yet. I have seen 20+ workers packed into a truck down in Mexico.

I thought that last part looked an awful lot like Cote de Liesse & the rotary by Dorval Airport-

Montreal driving alright :).

H.

Grrrrrr hate it when my puter don't like the links.... Worst thing I ever saw during the 13 years I lived on the beautiful West Island (west end of Isle. Montreal) was the pepsi who decided to drive west in the east bound lanes on the then 2&20 (now I believe its just called the

Snow...

Pepsi?

Canadian slang (or English quebecer slang) for Frenchman from Quebec.. Pepsi :) as in Jean-Lois-Pepsi.

Or "Beltway, Washington DC"

Drifter "I've been here, I've been there..."

FIVE people! On a MOTORcycle!! I've seen some "aggresive" driving here and abroad but I'll tell you I've never seen ANYthing like India. Roads that have a designation, ie, 2-lane, 3-lane, etc., well that is only for general refernce. I've been on 2-lane roads that had no less than 4 or 5 lanes of traffic, and direction of travel was open to interpretation. Cars, bikes, motorcycles, pedestrians, cows, pigs, and god knows what else all in the road at once. I don't shake to easy but man the first time I was on the road out there I was terrified that death was imminent. Surprisingly though, of the time I've spent there I only saw one accident.

They aren't very big on "rules" over there as it pertains to road travel. One of the funniest things I remember seeing were drivers delivering brand new truck chassis. Long bed tri-axle trucks, the kind that are about half way between 1-ton flatbeds and tractor trailers. I watched these guys driving down the highway and it was nothing but a truck frame with a motor and steering wheel. No bed, no body, nothing. They had pallets stacked up on the frame with folding metal chairs strapped down across the whole mess so they had someplace to sit while driving. I asked our driver about that and he told me these guys had a 1000 miles or so to go to get where they were going.

One other thing that travel abroad has taught me is that people here, no matter HOW poor they think they are, haven't got a clue what bad really is.

ah. I saw that in mainland China too. One guy had a whole cows leg staked on the back of his motorcycle... However I agree. India is one of the worst driving places in the world.

Mainland China is pretty amazing too. At night the only lights on the road are street lights. Even the buses don't usually run headlights when it's dark. Street lights are the main luminence for night driving.

Same here. The cabbies break down and you have to push!

That is so true. It makes you want to think about all those so called welware queens sucking the welfare money out of this country thinking they are poor.

Actually, I believe it's Jos. Louis - Pepsi, as in "gateaux Jos. Louis", isn't it?

My Dad grew up in Quebec and told me that Pepsi was a penny cheaper than Coke so all the french kids bought the cheaper one and got the nickname.

Ahh, I recognize my style of driving anywhere. Oh and it's also an A3 VW. Nice.

When I don't hobble around in my YJ, I terrorize around with my VWs. :)

A3 VW?
