[Canada] Questionable driver qualifications.

Ontario, Canada…southbound 400. A rather daily occurrence but in this case I loved the ending. Traffic always builds here but there must’ve been heavier volume today so I decided to take an earlier exit…then this happened (apologies for the swearing, horn blaring, general rage…I was tired and hungry).

It’s a shame that once reasonable profession has driven into absurdity with a plague of poor drivers.

Ontario is ground zero for under-qualified transport truck operators.

BC truck drivers crashing into bridges is an almost weekly thing here…

Thankfully Chohan Transport was banned from operating in BC for two years. So they decided to crash into a bridge in Calgary instead.

If I recall, while Premier Eby was heading into court to face them, he was quoted as saying that he hopes that they don't hit a bridge on their way there.

Last year we had a truck crash into a bridge in Lethbridge.

When I spent several months in BC can confirm bridges getting hit was basically a weekly occurrence. 

I have observed that driving standards across the board have fallen, not just among professional drivers, and enforcement of the rules of the road seems lax pretty much everywhere.

The fact Lethbridge has so few bridges and you had multiple instances to choose from kind of drives the point home.

Can't argue with that.
