It does take some doing but it is possible to reliably tell the difference. One big clue is melody. If you can imagine the tune being in an opera, it's Mozart, if not..likely Haydn. Also, Haydn generally falls down in the slow movement. If you're bored, Hadyn...if not, Mozart. PS...if you want to be even more down with the Canadian highway lingo, the QEW is usually called the Q E, as in just the letters. Also, it is always a nightmare to drive on, no matter what time of day. Ah yes, the old Mozart/Haydn dilemma. It does take some doing but it is possible to reliably tell the difference.
