1. Turn signals will give away your next move. A real Toronto driver
never uses them.

2. Under no circumstance should you leave a safe distance between you
and the car in front of you, or 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 smaller the chance
you have of getting hit.

4. Never, ever come to a complete stop at a stop sign. No one expects
it and it will result in you being rear-ended.

5. Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive
bodywork. Ontario is a no-fault insurance province and the other guy
doesn't have anything to lose.

6. Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible to ensure that
your ABS kicks in, giving a nice, relaxing foot massage as the brake
pedal pulsates. For those of you without ABS, it's a chance to stretch
your legs.

7. Never pass on the left when you can pass on the right. It's a good
way to scare people entering the highway.

8. Speed limits are arbitrary figures, given only as a suggestion and
are apparently not enforceable in Toronto during rush hour.

9. Just because you're in the left lane and have no room to speed up
or move over doesn't mean that a Toronto driver flashing his high beams
behind you doesn't think he can go faster in your spot.

10. Always slow down and rubberneck when you see an accident or even
someone changing a tire.

11. Learn to swerve abruptly. Toronto is the home of the high-speed
slalom driving thanks to the Provincial Highway Department, which puts
pot-holes in key locations to test drivers' reflexes and keep them on their
toes.

12. It is traditional in Toronto to honk your horn at cars that don't
move the instant the light turns green.

13. Remember that the goal of every Toronto driver is to get there
first by whatever means necessary.

14. In the Toronto area, 'flipping someone the bird' is considered a
polite Toronto salute. This gesture should always be returned.

15. Move out of the way for a black Chevrolet crew cab dually pickup
truck at all times, the driver is always in a hurry to go nowhere fast!

16. The white dotted lines separating lanes can also double as motorcycle lanes.

17. The right of way belongs to the person who is the most absent minded.

18. Lanes are arbitrary, especially when you are doing 150 in the fast lane and you see your exit 100 meters ahead.

always cut off and slam on the brakes infront of the big white Kenworth, because he does not own the truck, he does not pay the insurance on the truck, he wont get hurt, it takes 1200 ft to stop that size of truck at 60 kmh, and he doesnt care if you make it home to see your family or not. Toronto is a great place to drive at least it is better than quebec. :D

Feel free to gawk around at all the "sights" while your driving through Toronto at 40Kmp/h under the speed limit.

Oh and Brakes are for losers, that's what they invented bumpers for. And after you've ass-ended somebody and you are at fault, you MUST get out of your car and procceed to start a fight with the person you hit, who was only minding his own damn buisness at the time, but who does he think he was, stopping for the mother with her children?
