Things to Remember When Driving in Canada
A road trip through Canada will reveal the country’s majestic, natural beauty. From prairies and lakeshores to mountains, the vistas in Canada will be varied yet equally stunning on your journey. And although you might find it difficult to focus on the road, you must (since you’re driving), but also because driving in Canada requires special knowledge, especially if you’re a visitor.

Before you hit the gas on your Canadian journey, make sure your car insurance covers your travels. While planning your route, especially if it goes through the bilingual province of Quebec, brush up on your French from high school so you can understand road signs and avoid getting lost or turned around.
Make sure your emergency kit is well-stocked, and you have plenty of water and snacks packed as well.
“Some roads can be isolated so be sure to take a mobile phone and warm clothing in your vehicle (just in case). Also keep in mind that some roads will stretch for long distances without a gas station, so be sure to keep your fuel topped up and checking locations of pit stops ahead of travel,” advises Canadian Affair.
Unless you want to pay a fine, make sure to always wear your seat belt, and since daytime running lights are a must on cars in Canada, you should have your headlights on during your daytime travels. It varies by province, though, so investigate what’s required in the area you’ll be traveling in.
Watch your vehicle’s speed in Ontario, unless you’re okay with your trip being cut short.
“In Ontario, any driver caught speeding at 50 km/h above the posted speed limit can have their car confiscated and towed away, and impounded for up to seven days. So be especially wary near highway construction zones, which often dip down to temporary 80 km/h or less speed limits,” reports Canadian Affair.
