I think it's mostly a regional and a local thing rather than any kind of national tendency. I've heard many times now about wild driving in Montreal and Quebec City. Toronto is definitely hectic.

Shane is probably as bad a driver as any American, given the fact that he's normally drunk, doesn't give a damn, disobeys signs and lights, and has long had his license suspended but still drives anyway on those occasions when he manages to steal someone's car. His brother Don won't let him drive the pickup.
