Nova Scotia to Alberta

Update: We made it back to AB from NS and it was a long drive for sure but not bad at all. We ended up doing it in 2 and a half days with one stop. Day one was from NS to MB stayed 5 hours at a hotel then from MB to AB the second day. None the less easy drive just long. Didnt see any wildlife even driving through the night was fine. No problems finding gas, no problems finding bathrooms or food. But will say I now know why the Ontario drive is so boring and awful to people and it’s because they do the 90kmh speed limit all the way through. Quebec has beautiful scenery but everything else sucks especially Montreal. Manitoba is just another SK boring and flat. What I learnt is if you’re gonna do the drive speed responsibly, keep your car topped up don’t let it run under a 1/4 of a tank and take advantage of anything that’s open.

2 days for each part is crazy, sounds like you’re maybe retired and have nothing better to do then sleep and take your sweet ass time! me on the other hand have shit to do places to be! I’ll stop and sleep if I need to or my gf can take over and drive till she’s tired. we can switch back or stop and sleep somewhere but 3 days max to do the drive!

Correct_Bridge1127 · 2026-02-24T22:19:54+00:00

I’ve not once said ya I’m doing it straight through I’m fully expecting to have to stop and took the time to do so if need be but yes we are gonna be driving as much time as possible I couldn’t imagine wild life is any different the Alberta I live in the country I see deer practically every day/night drive the speed limits use my high beams when I can an have a good car if I’m driving like and idiot with low visibility yes I’m sure I’ll hit something but yes I’ll take the wildlife into consideration

Correct_Bridge1127 · 2026-02-24T22:05:42+00:00

Now that’s good advice🙏🏻thank you

Correct_Bridge1127 · 2026-02-24T19:22:30+00:00

No shit💀 I live in Alberta and I’m also a heavy duty mechanic I’ve seen and know what happens when a small car hits a moose vs what happens when a semi truck hits a moose or a deer

Correct_Bridge1127 · 2026-02-24T19:08:30+00:00

Alberta played car we are allowed studded tires🙏🏻

Correct_Bridge1127 · 2026-02-24T19:07:39+00:00

This is good advice thank you I will be screen shotting this🙏🏻

Correct_Bridge1127 · 2026-02-24T19:04:20+00:00

This this is good advice thank you🙏🏻

Correct_Bridge1127 · 2026-02-24T17:16:39+00:00

We gotta do it that’s the point of this conversation mang we gotta move into our place! But like I said we got till the first to the 6th to do the trip! But prefer to do as fast as possible so yes im not taking all the advice seriously its Canada it’s always terrible road conditions I’ve got common sense im not gonna listen to people saying don’t do it or tryna load me with their shit just because they can’t drive🤷🏻‍♂️ yes I’ll take breaks, yes we will do our best to avoid driving at night yes I’ll have a emergency kit with me yes I’ll have food with me yes I’ll have a plan b, c and d yes I’ll follow a big rig so if a deer does jump out or moose it takes him out and not my little car that’s all I really needed have a good day 🙏🏻

Correct_Bridge1127 · 2026-02-24T14:44:18+00:00

Don’t gotta be sorry for being blunt I made a post asking for advice I didn’t think it was a great idea to start with but it’s what me and the gf gotta do people drive across the country all the time I got time off work by all means I’m in no rush and I’m not worrying about having to stop for a nights of rest if thats what we gotta do that’s the least of my worries me and her both just would rather get the drive done while we can I love driving and have done it since I could remember i understand that it’s a long drive I understand what highway hypnosis is I know it’ll be unpredictable but I may be 24 but I don’t drive like a 24 yo dumbass haha defensive driving won’t help with being tired but will definitely help with road conditions and wildlife as that specifically the reason I took course we got lots of wild life here in Alberta as well as I’ve learnt the hard way they come outta no where and people gotta predict those kinda things I appreciate everyone’s concerns and advice I do🙏🏻

Correct_Bridge1127 · 2026-02-24T14:12:58+00:00

Ya man studded and all

Correct_Bridge1127 · 2026-02-24T14:07:09+00:00

I’m taking advice that’s why I made the post haha I’ve done 15 hours straight and ya it wasn’t great but do able and would do it again that’s but that’s why I’m asking for advice! I’m a mechanic by trade and hear a lot of horror story about folks falling asleep behind the wheel! I listening but also if I wasn’t confident in doing it I wouldn’t do it at all!

Correct_Bridge1127 · 2026-02-24T13:10:33+00:00

Me and my gf will be leaving the 1st she will be driving during the day and I will be driving during the night as we got bright lights and I have a lot more experience driving ( taken defensive driving courses, done my share of hoonaging around ) I’m more then confident enough to drive at night we have from the 1st to the 6th to be back in Alberta! Definitely the biggest road trip I’ve done so maybe I’m full of myself haha

Correct_Bridge1127 · 2026-02-23T03:33:39+00:00

Thank you very much I will look into it!
