Driving

Young driver inside car on the city road

I want to tell the story of my driving in Canada and in my country Ukraine, which is very different. In Canada, there are strict clear rules of the road, which is very convenient and understandable. In Ukraine, there are rules, but no one follows them, because of this, there are a catastrophic number of accidents on the roads in my country, because people simply do not follow the rules and the distance between cars. Also, because of corruption, people from Ukraine buy driver license but they don’t know how to drive a car, but they still get behind the wheel. There is no such thing in Canada and it makes me very happy. I feel safer on the road. But I also want to note that it’s not easy to pass on the drive test in Canada. I myself passed only after 3 times, but it was worth it, because in Canada you can’t do without a car.
