This photo of three overturned cars shows an ephemeral creation made for the “Les passages insolites” event in Québec City in 2021.
However, a few days later, in early August 2021, I saw an overturned car on Boulevard Laurier and this time it was not an artificial creation. The first information received from the emergency services was that there was no death or serious injury in this rollover.
The conditions prevailing on this stretch of boulevard Laurier on this August morning would have frightened the bravest among you: speed limit of 50 km/h, light traffic, clear sky, unlimited visibility, straight asphalted road, dry surface without potholes, white lines at regular intervals to delimit each traffic lane. There were no distracting billboards, no crosswalks, no traffic lights, and no intersections to watch. When you want to hit the road next time in such adverse conditions, think twice and use public transport!
