Don't you just love how the driver was "likely speeding and ran a red light", but the paragraph before blames pedestrians for not looking?🙄

I don't know about Quebec, but hit-and-run drivers in Ontario don't usually get anything more than a few weeks suspended license and no jail time.

The little bit of driving I did in the downtown core of Montreal I say they need to finish the rest of the car lanes first. I was confused by the half lanes and the sections where 2 cars share the same lane. The roads became much better once I drove out of the province into Ottawa.

I did feel safer though with the rental scooter in downtown Montreal than I ever would in Vancouver.

If you're confused by the roads, please refrain from operating a murder machine on them.
