Driving is a privilege - not a right

這是加拿大人學開車前,政府告訴你的第一句話;

(中文....???? 不會翻啦....)


上了馬路、有誰會比『林北』大....???!!!



剛搬到拿大來住的時候,有一件事林北我極為不爽....

那就是加拿大政府竟然不承認我們台灣人的駕照,(聽說現在魁北克省有承認台灣駕照了)
可是.... 他們竟然承認韓國人....、韓國人的駕照耶; (韓國人:就是楊志良想拿刀砍他們的那一國)

馬的,
他們可知道我們在台灣開車需要甚麼樣的高超技術嗎???!!!
甚麼驚險場面林北沒見過呀、咱們可算是風裡來浪裡的耶....
竟然敢不承認我們台灣人的駕照!!!???




後來,我知道我錯了... 大錯特錯。

因為,
加拿大要的安份守法的駕駛、不是 F1 賽車手;
加拿大要的是井然有序的道路、不是一個賽車場;




所以說、結論就是,
人家加拿大政府不是不相信你出神入化的『車神』技術;

人家加拿大政府是不相信你所學的交通法規、還有駕駛道德!!!

舉例來說、
加拿大的馬路上,有三種車最大:校車、救護車、警察的消防車 (跟警車)

我們在路上碰到在值勤的救護車、消防車跟警車,必須依照這些規定:

When you see red or red AND blue flashing lights or hear the bells or sirens of an emergency vehicle approaching from either direction, you must immediately slow down, move as far to the right side of the roadway as you safely can, and stop.

Stay alert. When you see an approaching emergency vehicle with its lights or siren on, prepare to clear the way.

  • React quickly but calmly. Don't slam on the brakes or pull over suddenly. Use your signals to alert other drivers you intend to pull over.
  • Check your rear-view mirrors. Look in front and on both sides of your vehicle. Allow other vehicles to also pull over. Pull to the right and gradually come to a stop.
  • Wait for the emergency vehicle to pass and watch for other emergency vehicles that may be responding to the same call. Check to make sure the way is clear and signal before merging back into traffic.
  • Don't drive on or block the shoulder on freeways. Emergency vehicles will use the shoulder of the road if all lanes are blocked.

Never follow or try to outrun an emergency vehicle. It is illegal to follow within 150 meters of a fire vehicle or ambulance responding to a call in any lane going in the same direction.

Failing to pull over and stop for an approaching emergency vehicle can result in a conviction and a fine.

Note: Some fire fighters and volunteer medical responders may display a flashing green light when using their own vehicles to respond to a fire or medical emergency. Please yield the right-of-way to help them reach the emergency quickly and safely.

Take lights and sirens seriously. Clear the way! Pull to the right and stop. It's the law.


英文落落長.... 看圖比較簡單啦.....

見到值勤的救護車、消防車跟警車,所有的車輛都要停車、並且讓出車道。





至於校車,
當校車旁的 STOP 標誌舉起跟前後紅燈閃爍,所有的車輛都要停車!!!



總而言之,
『哇達酷西』現在去台灣已經不敢開車了。




PS.
喔.... 據說,那個擋救護車的 prick,是個台大博士生。
