when at the first sight of rain, people drive like it's the 1st snowfall...
so we finally get a bit of rain (during rush hour) and all hell breaks loose...half the major highways (401, gardiner, etc) and streets are closed because of major accidents, and it's only 7:20am.
hope you GTA boys enjoy your commute!.. I'm walking.

Absolutely insane on the Q.E.W.
Tailgating, near misses, speeding....
Toronto drivers MUST be the worst drivers in N.A...... The MUST!

Brampton is bad, Scarborough is worse, Oakville is hell..
You know if everyone just drove normally and didn't hit their brakes every 5 seconds traffic would never be stopped. It's just stupid s**t drivers. In Toronto, people take that 60 km/h Maximum sign seriously, and don't wanna do the maximum... so it's more like 40 km/h...
Oakville is just stupid tho... there's no reason why EVERY TIME I've driven thru it on the highway, it's at a crawl... doesn't matter if it's in the middle of the day or the middle of the night, I've never passed thru oakville at more than 60 km/h

I agree, Toronto is the Worst for drivers. The 401, QEW, 427, 400, you name it. Every day, I face such stupid drivers on my commute to work. Im slowing down because there is bumper to bumper ahead, but this jackass in a Chrysler pacifica or whatever that 2-door thingy is called, thinks im slowing down to let him infront of me, and bam, he almost rear ends the traffic ahead of him thats sitting at a stand-still. I see atleast 5 jerkoffs like this a day driving like this, and thats just my morning commute, wait till you hear about the drive home :( | :( |

All I can say is that the drive into work this morning in Mississauga was hellacious not because of the traffic (No worse than usual) but rather the puddles of water <_<
It's like when they designed the roads they set them up so that over time they cave in on themselves leaving these big @$$ed puddles when it rains that you have no idea how deep they are or if they have any nasty surprises in em :blink: so you end up taking them at 40km/h or less just because you're not sure...
'course this was the first real storm we've had all summer so :rolleyes:

Driving in Toronto proper is fine may commute through Leaside is positively pleasant. Anything outside of the old city of Toronto/East York borders AND EVERY SINGLE PART OF THE 905 BLOWS BIG DONKEY DICKS.

I came into TO from ottawa tonight and there wasnt a single accident inbound. However I counted at least 10 major accidents outbounf (from cobourg on in)... And Darkpuppet you are soooo right, the minute we'd drive into the slightest bit of rain, people would just jam on the brakes, as though they had suddently lost ALL CONTROL.... Luckily I was listening to some classic David Cross so I just giggled the whole way through.
