Road rage in the Maritimes? Survey suggests N.B. drivers have worst anger issues
- Thread starter B00Mer
- Start date
When two vehicles are travelling at vastly different velocities such as 50 and 120, there in a dramatic kinhetic energy potential difference that is transferred from one vehicle (the faster moving one) to the slower moving one when they meet at the end of the ramp/merge lane.
The net effect is that the dangerously slower moving driver is eventually eliminated from adding to the gene pool, thus strengthening the species.
I was doing 15 over yesterday on the 410 southbound and a cop car passed me as if I was standing still.....
that's how I almost got nailed....I needed to get around some cars so I floored it and and was cruising along when out of nowhere...he was right on my tail...I pretty much resigned myself to a hefty fine....so just kept going knowing it was my own fault and pulled in when it was safe...and all I saw were his tail lights in the distance...that slowed me down for a few weeks
I'm trying to wrap my head around "15 over" on the 410. I consider myself lucky to be going 15 period on that HIGHWAY, most of the time.
I would guess it depends on what time of the day you travel, yesterday, around 11 AM, I only hit a bit of traffic, when I got to the 403.....
I will have you know New Brunswickers are sweet, kind, loving people who never mouth an angry word. Their benevolence is legendary, their pacifism inherent, their cultured attitudes taught at their parents' knee..........
So, one more word denigrating these fine people and I will hunt you down and slap your teeth straight down your throat.
In the gentlest way possible, of course.

My experience in my extensive travels back and forth across Canada is that the farther East you go, the nicer and more generous the people living there are.
My father was a westerner. I have family all over the West. Some with clout, too. The furthest West that I have been on land in Canada is the Yukon Alaska border to the West of Dawson.
The farthest East that I've experienced was sailing from small port to small port all the way around Newfoundland during the summer of 1974, in a small coastal warship. I sure met a pile of really decent Newfs. I will add, though, that it took place before their fishery was destroyed and a four century way of life was shattered. Even so, the Newfs that I meet in my travels are still decent folk. I've spent a whole lot of time in Nova Scotia, vacations on "the Island" and lots of touring around New Brunswick. I have seriously considered that I would like to retire on the Fundy shore ... maybe around Alma. My city mouse spouse might suffer, though but I have zero need for cities.
Newfies have a great attitude, even when they don't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out they are still smilin'.
The hills of Albert County, NB are my family's old stomping grounds.....since 1780. I still own land there.
