Hardly anybody practices safe stopping distance anymore. The number of cars flying by at well over the speed limit, bumper to bumper, is quite literally insane. Do all these drivers have a death wish? They pass on double white lines all of the time and you can see them getting irritated driving behind me as, shock...horror...., I drive the speed limit. I've been honked at multiple times for driving at the speed limit.

I have to say that I agree that it is worse in BC for sure but on *most* but not all occasions the vehicle being an absolute idiot has Alberta plates.

Funnily enough I've taken to driving through the night on the way out there as it's just safer that way. Hardly any traffic on the roads and a much more pleasant experience overall. Coming back though is through the day and it's pretty much a nightmare.....
Are you sure you're a good driver? I don't get honked at multiple times. Kinda reminds me of my ex who went through multiple jobs because the boss always hated her. Trying to tell her that she was the common denominator was futile.
