Good to know. I was going on the basic assumption that I ought to act like any other vehicle on the road, so I'm glad to be vindicated in that.

Also, the "point-where-you-want-to-go" thing is very useful advice, since Montreal drivers are crappy enough as it is. :P

I'm lucky enough for the rest that I'm not in an area with much traffic or anything faster than 40 kph speed limits.
