Truckers gathered on several highways in Quebec on Monday morning to demand stricter enforcement of transportation regulations.

Truckers from the “Assez c’est assez” or the “Enough is Enough” movement had planned to meet at dawn in Montreal, Quebec City, Trois-Rivières, and Gatineau. However, the demonstration in Gatineau was cancelled.

Their goal was to highlight the phenomenon of “illegal truckers,” or untrained drivers who find themselves behind the wheel of heavy vehicles.

The truckers had made it clear that their goal was to slow down traffic, but not to bring it to a complete standstill. In particular, they had assured that they would only drive in the right lane and respect the minimum speed limits.
