Oh man, others afraid to drive? Count me in. Especially down in this state, there are a ton of car accidents. I also made the mistake of reading up about the history of the town I live in, and became scared when I saw a story about an accident that happened around the early '90s nearby (a car flipped into a canal after it sped and tried to pass another on such a tiny road...ack. The news articles were so disturbing to read too.). It seems it was the start of some people here feeling that teenagers who get others killed in accidents (drinking or not) should get the death penalty. That hasn't happened yet so far, but reading back for this state, it's like there are a TON of car accidents down here. They don't even have to involve substance abuse (that one didn't) or even teenagers.

I've been nervous about operating a car for years now, and the history of driving down here (even if you're careful, others aren't) just doesn't ease that XD:.

It sounds like Montreal's got traffic problems similar to what's in Italy from what I've heard from a friend. People drive super-crazy there!
