Don't get me wrong, I love Canada. only a couple hour's drive from me in NY, too. But on a recent road trip to montreal I experienced a couple days of the worst drivers I've ever seen. Not to mention the various people cutting you off, giving you dirty looks, etc all the other usual bad habits, but there was this odd speed pulsation thing going on.
We were on a major highway up there for about 5 hours one day. It was unbelieveable. We'd be cruising at 140 km/h, (about 85mph, 30km/h over the speed limit) and we'd be getting passed on the left and right. Then, with no warning, the dense traffic would suddenly slow down, and if you were 5km/h over the limit, it made you look like a speeding idiot.
And I don't think it was that everyone had fuzz busters and was slowing down near speed traps. I had a really good fuzz buster and it hardly chirped the whole time. Once, during one of those adrenalin-rush speed surges, a cop passed me when I was doing about 150km/h. he didn't look like he was going anywhere, either. He was just cruising along, blue lights off, with his head leaning on his arm. Go figure. . .
Don't get me wrong, it was fun to drive that fast w/o the worry of being the fastest one out there, but it was a little crazy.
