CptSchmidtThis video begins when I first spotted a driver who turned out to be drunk driving. I noticed him repeatedly braking for no reason, taking very wide turns, and weaving in out of his lane. When he nearly hit me in a roundabout, then sped off toward downtown at nearly twice the speed limit, I decided it was time to call the police. With it being the weekend, downtown was crammed with pedestrians and other drivers enjoying the city's nightlife, and adding this guy to the mix could have easily been fatal.
About a half-hour after the video ends, the police phoned me back to confirm the driver was "very impaired." When I gave a written statement, the officer said the driver was "plastered."
Never drink and drive. Too many people have been needlessly killed at the hands of drunk drivers. There are always other options. Never put others and yourself at senseless risk.

Drive safe.Driving Calgary DowntownCptSchmidt2021-11-28 | Recorded in July, 2021.
With a population of 1,239,220, Calgary is the most populous city in Alberta, and the third most populous city in Canada after Toronto and Montreal. The Calgary Metropolitan Region is the second largest population centre in Western Canada, after Greater Vancouver.
Calgary is situated at the confluence of the Bow River and the Elbow River in the south of the province, in the transitional area between the Rocky Mountain Foothills and the Canadian Prairies, about 80 km (50 mi) east of the front ranges of the Canadian Rockies, roughly 299 km (186 mi) south of the provincial capital of Edmonton and approximately 240 km (150 mi) north of the Canada–United States border. The city anchors the south end of the Statistics Canada-defined urban area, the Calgary–Edmonton Corridor.
Calgary's economy includes activity in the energy, financial services, film and television, transportation and logistics, technology, manufacturing, aerospace, health and wellness, retail, and tourism sectors. The Calgary Metropolitan Region is home to Canada's second-highest number of corporate head offices among the country's 800 largest corporations. In 2015 Calgary had the highest number of millionaires per capita of any major Canadian city. In 1988 it became the first Canadian city to host the Winter Olympic Games.
The Economist Intelligence Unit ranked Calgary the most livable city in North America in both 2018 and 2019. Calgary has been a top 5 contender for this title for the last 10 years.

Note the gray/white sky caused by forest fires in British Columbia.

Drumheller is a town on the Red Deer River in the badlands of east-central Alberta, Canada. It is located 110 kilometres (68 mi) northeast of Calgary, and 97 kilometres (60 mi) south of Stettler. The Drumheller portion of the Red Deer River valley, often referred to as Dinosaur Valley, has an approximate width of 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) and an approximate length of 28 kilometres (17 mi).
Drumheller was once the largest coal producing city in Western Canada, with the Atlas Coal Mine. Now, coal mining has been replaced by natural gas and oil. Drumheller has Alberta's second largest natural gas field, the West Drumheller Field. However, Drumheller is planning to transition away from fossil fuels and emphasize renewable energy sources, such as wind power, in its economy. Currently, tourism is Drumheller's main industry. A federal prison and regional medical complex also contribute to the economy. Agriculture is also quite important.
Drumheller experiences a semi-arid climate (BSk). The highest temperature ever recorded in Drumheller was 40.6 °C (105 °F) on 18 July 18, 1941. The coldest temperature ever recorded was −43.9 °C (−47 °F) on January 29, 1996.
South of the traffic bridge over the Red Deer river on Highway 9 is the World's Largest Dinosaur, a 26.2-metre (86 ft) high fiberglass Tyrannosaurus rex that can be entered for a view of the Badlands, including the adjacent 23 metre (75 ft) water fountain, again one of the largest in Canada. Tourist attractions also include the Star Mine Suspension Bridge, Atlas Coal Mine, Canadian Badlands Passion Play, Horseshoe Canyon, Water Spray Park, Aquaplex with indoor and outdoor pools, Horse Thief Canyon, hoodoos, Midland Provincial Park, the Rosedeer Hotel in Wayne, 27 kilometres (17 mi) of constructed pathways, Bleriot Ferry, East Coulee School Museum, Homestead Museum, Valley Doll Museum and the Little Church which is capable of seating only six patrons.
Next to the now closed Drumheller ski hill is the Canadian Badlands Passion Play site, where, for two weeks each July, performances are held. Companies are composed of actors from all over Alberta. The site also offers small plays throughout the summer and an interpretive centre.
Drumheller is also home to the Valley Doll Museum and Gifts, where it displays over 700 dolls.
The Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology is a museum that hosts Canada's largest collection of dinosaur fossils. It boasts 375,000 visitors a year, the largest of all provincial museum attractions. It opened on September 25, 1985. The Royal Tyrrell Museum is located in the northwest quadrant of the Town of Drumheller, in Midland Provincial Park.

When the bus came around the corner, the driver gestured for her to turn a bit to the right, but instead she panicked and backed into me. You can hear me shift into reverse as she hits, but there were only a few inches between myself and the truck behind me. The way she positioned her car when backing up looks like she meant to go forward but forgot she was still in reverse.
After the collision, she pulled into a bus stop. I got out and recommended she pull into the next parking lot.
Luckily there was no damage and she was very apologetic. No harm done.

This happened on Main Street in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. No one was injured. In case the Mitsubishi driver needed a witness, I provided my contact information.
I decided to blur the Toyota driver's face because, while he should have looked and should have done any number of things to avoid the crash, it was ultimately an accident. Given that this clip will undoubtedly be stolen and put in countless "crash compilations" on other channels, I don't want a face attached to what others might say about him.
My friend was saying just a few minutes earlier how it bothers him that there's a stereotype about younger people being more dangerous drivers than older people, when it always seems to be older people hitting younger people. When the drivers got out of their cars, the one at fault was clearly over 60 and the victim was under 30.Nova Scotias Halifax 100-series HighwaysCptSchmidt2017-05-26 | Here is a video of all of the Halifax Regional Municipality's 100-series highways, with the exception of the 101. The video starts in Upper Tantallon, takes us through Halifax, over the MacKay Bridge into Dartmouth, and ends in Porters Lake.
The drive features Route 213 between Trunk 3 and the 103, to its terminus in Halifax, then the 102 onto Joseph Howe Drive until the Bedford Highway at the intersection with Highway 111. We take the 111 until Exit 4, which leads to the 118 until Exit 13E and the 107 until Main Street (Trunk 7).

Because I said very little in the aired interview, I wanted my fans, subscribers, and anybody interested to hear my sobered, unscripted, and unedited thoughts on road behaviours and driving in Halifax and the province. The only things edited are personal questions and private information.
I was floating the idea of doing a Q&A; this might answer some of your questions. If not, feel free to post them in the comments. If I get enough questions that aren't answered in this video (I know it's long), I might consider making a proper Q&A video responding to fans if people would be interested in having on.

The Cobequid Pass begins at 2:03 and ends when the video finishes.
The Cobequid Pass opened on November 15, 1997. It was built to bypass Trunk Highway 4, a two-lane uncontrolled-access road. It is the only toll highway in Nova Scotia and stretches 45km between Masstown (Exit 12) and Thomson Station (Exit 7).
The highway is known for its adverse and unpredictable weather. It is often blanketed in fog throughout the winter, and here is an example of how bad it can get. Beginning around 3:45, you can how the thickness of the fog increases.Nova Scotia Trunk Highway 7 - Dartmouth to Jeddore (1/4)CptSchmidt2016-03-01 | This drive covers Nova Scotia Trunk Highway 7 from its junction with Highway 107 and Forest Hills Parkway to East Jeddore Road in Head of Jeddore.
