Beware--Albertan drivers- good read

[memphiz]

1. Turn signals will give away your next move. A confident Albertan 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 complete 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 B.C. or Sask, 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 Alberta during rush hour, especially in Calgary.

9. Just because you're in the left lane and have no room to speed up or move over doesn't mean that an Albertan 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. Alberta 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 Alberta 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 rollover, 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 Alberta driver is to get ahead of the pack by whatever means necessary.

15. In Alberta, 'flipping the bird' is considered a polite salute. This gesture should always be returned

I can prouldy say im an Albertan

Rhode Island drivers too, just because they are the smallest state, they think they have to make a name for themselves in driving. they are terrible.

Hey! I resemble that statement! p-)

Florida's not all that bad at all, actually. Especially compared to say...Toronto. They are evil in Toronto. Satan's chauffers.

Awsome im in Leduc its ten minutes southof Edmonton, Minjin lives in Edmonton too.

[Minjin]

Yup I do. Yay Edmonton!

But I feel compelled to add a couple facts. The worst drivers seem to be from two groups. White pickup trucks and people from BC who are vacationing in Alberta. But the rest is more or less true, lol.

yeh im originally from Alberta, i just lived in BC for 2 years. and alot British Columbians suck at driving they drive really slow, and always use there turn signal, and keep it on for like 5min to let the whole world know there turning.

[fred_engles]

You guys ever see Italians or Israelis drive?

I mean, Americans/Canadians can be terrible drivers (compared to, say, Germans) - but they got absolutely nothing on our mediterranean buddies. When I was last in Israel, I was far more scared of the traffic than of any palestinian attackers (admittedly, this was before the intifada). And Italians? They like to speed up at pedestrians to teach them who's boss.

[Haiw]

German drivers are really great. Seriously, they even stop when pedestrians want to cross the road and such. When I was in Germany for the first time I was really surprised about it. :D

The Canadian Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had covertly funded a project with the Canadian auto maker Ford for the past five years, whereby the auto maker was installing black boxes in four-wheel drive pick-up trucks in an effort to determine the cause of fatalities in accidents.

They were surprised to find in almost all provinces the last words of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were, "Oh, Sh*t!"

Only in the province of Alberta was this result different, where 89.3 percent of the final words were, "Hold my beer and watch this!"
