There are two types of drive you can have on the motorway, one that feels like this.

0:04.7

Oh, one that feels...

0:07.4

Like this.

The difference is just a few little changes, like giving more space to the car in front, or not hogging the middle lane.

Because being a little more considerate on the road actually reduces congestion and collisions,

0:22.1

which transforms everyone's journey, so we all feel a little less and a lot more national highways. On a chilly December morning in 2017, two Toronto real estate agents were giving a tour,

adult children were adamant that their parents were targeted, and they were right. Weeks after,
