Hi. My name is Mike. I'm from Canada and the question is are people safe drivers in my country?

Well, it's tough to generalize for a whole country of people and although Canada only has thirty million people, that's a lot of people to generalize. So I have to say for the most part, people are quite safe drivers but you do sometimes run into people who are unsafe and, of course, you get people who get very angry on the road and they have some road rage. It's very understandable to be frustrated while driving, especially if you're driving under pressure and you're late but I have to say that road rage could be very dangerous and I would advise to steer away from that.
