New MTO regulations

[Raz_Kaz]

1. Turn signals will give away your next move. A confident Ontario driver avoids using them.

2. Under no circumstances should you maintain a safe distance between you and the car infront of you, because the space will be filled in by someone else, putting you in an even more dangerous situation.

3. The faster you drive through a red light, the less 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 you being rear-ended.

5. Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive body. 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 is a chance to strengthen your leg muscles.

7. Never pass on the left when you can pass on the right. It is a good way to prepare other drivers for entering the highway.

8. It is tradition in Ontario to honk your horn at cars in front of you that do not move 3 milliseconds after the light turns green.

9. Remember it is the goal of every Ontario driver to get ahead of the pack by what even means necessary.

10. In Ontario "flipping the bird" is considered a polite salute. This gesture should always be returned.

and the best for last

11. Learn to swerve abruptly without signaling. Ontairo 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.

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

I got honked at once for stoping completely at a 4-way when the only other cars were going forward the opposite direction.

dang, I think those are standard just about every where. must be a worldwide application.

thats a repost, but i still like it. #2 angers me greatly, and the first is a close second.

I wasn't old enough to drive when i lived in Ontario, but those rules apply to BC a well. Yesterday some lady passed 3 cars as she was trying to merge. She wanted to get into the front of the pack instead of taking the space inbetween me and the car behind me.

[Raz_Kaz]

Can a Mod change the title accordingly so that it reads "Worlwide Road Rules"....?
