  • Travelling in Europe I noticed people drive much much slower and safer than in Canada.

    That’s not because Europeans inherently find dangerous driving “less fun”, nor because they’re in less of a rush (altho that likely plays a part too).

    It’s because Canada is lacking in high speed/frequency public transit, so people who don’t want/don’t like to drive are often forced to.

    It’s also because Canada has straight, wide roads which encourage high speeds.

    I’m not saying not to ticket reckless drivers. Im saying ticketing isn’t a solution to the problem, it’s a bandaid.
