Driving

Driving is very important to life in Canada. It is not a thing to show off. Rather, it is necessary for our life in the winter.

The driving in Canada is different from Bangladesh. In a country like Bangladesh, you have to drive with heavy traffic, people, bicycles, rickshaws and so on. You have to beep the horn frequently, as there are a lot of people - approximately four times more than Canada has which makes it impossible to obey the rules and regulations. Besides, because of the lack of consciousness, they drive improperly.

In Canada, it is quite different. Here we have to do some tests to get a license, but it is easier to drive here than many countries in the world. This is because people are happy to follow the rules.

It took me more than 3 years to get my license. As I did not drive in my country, I had to practice a lot, but it is good for me that I got my license with one road test only.

However, it is mandatory to be aware of your own safety as well as the lives of other people all the time.
