Anecdotally, Vancouver drivers are worse at following the rules than Edmonton or Seattle drivers, and Seattle drives have a higher chance of driving unregistered vehicles than the other two.

I thought every job looked cooler if the person had a Peli case but then my kids got their faces painted and the artist’s gear was in one
