I'm 23 years old haha.

I understand why Albertans drive fast. It's not that dangerous driving in Alberta. It's all flat.

I just think it's extremely stupid driving the way you do in BC. Alberta, I understand. In BC, that's just plain dumb.

And that argument about adding hours to your destination enjoyment time? You can't enjoy it if you never get there. I just think Alberta drivers should slow down over mountain passes because it's not only putting themselves in danger, it's putting other drivers in danger as well because of tail gating, passing when it's not safe, speeding, etc.

I think it's hilarious that 1 in 3 Calgarians were ticketed because it just further adds evidence to the opinion that Alberta drivers are some of the worst in the country, certainly in Western Canada.
