Soooooo....you don't think people are smart enough to "judge" a safe condition when turning left on a red....but you think they are smart enough to "judge" a proper speed?

You would also not expect a retard to know this and well you wouldn't expect a retarded Quebecois to know this. No one else has expressed ignorance of this so maybe your explanation was unnecessary.

I misinterpreted your post so I take back my statement about ignorance. That said, Quebec is larger than the Island of Montreal. I would expect that most if not all drivers in Quebec would be aware of the ability to turn right on red.

If you think that it's ok to hold up traffic when it's safe to go then please stop driving. If you have read the posts in this thread you would have read the not turning when it's safe on a red light will cost you demerits on your driving test.

Read my post again. It is not obligatory (I don't think you can get a ticket). The fact that it is not obligatory has no bearing on what I do in that situation.

I admit it would take a ruthless cop but if one is stuck behind you and he honks but you still don't move.... well troll around and try it. I think the ticket will be obstruction of traffic.

The no red right turn rule barely stops Montrealers while on the island, they sure as hell don't wait anywhere else.
