A company ranks Canadian cities by their “walkability” scores:
For sure not my most interesting column.

There has to be something to Germany’s methods if its drivers are travelling at twice the speed, but with a lower accident rate.
I also like how it’s more expensive, because people tend to take things more seriously when they have to pony up big bucks.

Imagine a historic town is shut down and roped off into a complex driving course. You drive through it as fast as you can, the police don’t care, and you do this 10 times a day. That’s Targa Newfoundland.
Total video-game courses.
Thank you sincerely, to the people of Newfoundland, for opening your province and allowing me to almost smash into your homes.
I had the best co-driver, Michel Crepault; we were an excellent match.
The Micra was stock; I kicked the crap out of it and it was fine.
Enter the lowest class.. there’s no competition, you just get to take advantage of the closed roads in your own car.

After a collision your mind is a mess, when it needs to be laser-focused.
The objective is to gather as much information as possible. Past advice suggests sketching and jotting notes, but instead, I say use your phone to document. The following is a set of instructions.
– turn on “Location Services” so GPS coordinates will be attached to all photos
– photo EVERYthing, take like 100+ photos
– along with a 360º of the damage, photograph drivers’ licence and plates, tires, external conditions
– video witnesses, video interactions with the other driver
– use the voice record app while you walk around, narrating what you see
I hope you never have to use this list.
