Interesting....seems we had a plane make an emergency landing on the
interstate today...although not downtown.

And they didn't have to deal with Quebec drivers either. I bet as the guy
in Montreal was landing he was overtaken by 15 cars who then cut him off
as they whipped over from the far right lane to the exit on the far left
or from the far left to an exit on the far right, and they all flipped him
off.

(Yes, they have exits on the left on Autoroute 40 - it fits with the
general crazyness of Montreal drivers.)

Clearly you've never been to Texas. :-)
Actually, I worked with a guy for a long time who lived in Montreal for
five years and drove maybe four times. He was just too scared.

I LOVE watching out of towners deal with left exits!!!

I've driven in Montreal and Dallas. Except for the fact that the Dallas
drivers were probably armed, they didn't worry me as much as the Montreal
drivers. The only place that scared me more than Montreal was in Madrid,
and there I was only a passenger.

I've driven in Montreal and Madrid and a whole lot of other places. I'd
vote for Paris, France as the worst I've experienced. Didn't drive
there, but the wildest ride I've ever had was in a taxi in Taipei.

When my wife lived in Dallas and worked in Plano, it was amusing driving
her to work and watching the pickups depart the four-lane seemingly
where ever they desired to exit, and join the adjacent access road.

The drivers obviously caused the plane to crash onto them. Over the past
weekend, other reckless Montreal drivers caused another on-street landing,
though the pilot in that case was heroic, avoiding the cars.
