I’m in the Okanagan for a few days and two things jumped out at me right away:
– Wow are there ever allot of one ton trucks in Western Canada (I had forgotten how common they were)
– Wow are there ever allot of impatient and aggressive drivers in this area of the Province
Why is it that you don’t see Mercedes, BMW, Porsche or Audi sports cars driving the way that some of these morons do in their hopped up diesels, often with their 5th wheels or ski boats attached? I’m amazed that there aren’t more accidents on the road to be perfectly honest. Some of these people definitely have more money than brains.
Drive safe out there folks!
and everyone in Ottawa are angels.
