From some time now, I've had the 'pleasure' of driving my car on the streets of Vancouver. Given my full-time-student status, the BC law allows me to drive with my Chilean driver's license. Since I haven't had enough time to prepare and go through the battery of tests required in these cases, I've decided to drive my car with my old driver's license.
I've been a driver for almost 14 years and let me tell you I had not seen such bad drivers as here in Vancouver. Although the ICBC website claims that Vancouver's licensing standards are among the highest around the world, I can't help thinking that most of drivers here got their license at some TV contest or in the closest 7-eleven. First off, it is amazing the lack of enforcement of transit laws here. It is very common to see drivers violating 10 laws in one minute and nobody seems to care. Second, the attitude of 85% of drivers is to drive offensively instead of defensively. I guess many of them think that they are the only ones using the road (well, to be honest most of people here think they are the only ones who matter and hence nobody else cares) and act according to this: turns are done dangerously without even looking at who is behind; crossings are done when you least expect them; yellow light? what's that! drivers here seem to think traffic lights have only two (and some times only one) color: green and red. I remember when I was learning how to drive that the first thing I was taught was that you should always drive defensively and always make eye contact before doing any manouver. In fact, you should never assume that the other driver knows what you are about to do. Based on my experience here, people appear to learn exactly the opposite!
Perhaps I am wrong, but if everyone were a little bit more cautious when driving, life on the road would more pleasent. In any case, it seems that the bottom line here is once again that old rule that says: who cares?! so long as you do something not affecting you in direct way, it's alright. After all, you are the only one who matters, aren't you?
