Subject: RE: BS: Canadian Drivers vs U.S. Drivers
Charmion... I spent six winters there. After the first winter, I had a VW Bug with 6.5 rear tires with studs in them. I used to dodge around the "sliders". Sometimes, at 5PM, I used to take the Bug up the hill on campus at UNB in the left lane (NOBODY would dare come DOWN in a snowstorm) and then come back down and wave to the stranded, sat in their fancy and expensive cars, not able to get anywhere.

Of course, after supper, we of Sigma Lambda Beta Rho would shovel, push and shove and make them go. Up or down. It was a house tradition and we sang our house song all the while... to the chagrin of more than a few. It's a bawdy song.

As Transporation Engineering student, or, better yet, as a human with a brain, I could never understand the three way stops at T intersections on some streets on "the hill". Bloody dangerous!
