A 60-year-old woman sits across from me on the O-Train, letting out a big sigh of relief. She apologizes: “Sorry! I’m a driver, so it’s nice when you sit down after walking a bit. It’s hard when you’re used to driving yourself around, you know.” I was impressed – few people make that connection.

Mon fils de 11 ans s'arrête soudainement, de peur que l'auto ne nous cède pas le passage. Je lui rappelle la fois où une conductrice a continué sa route alors qu'on était engagés sur le passage piéton devant l'école. Lui : "C'est pour ça qu'il ne faut pas avoir de voiture, ça rend bête."
