Living the dream, or just dreaming?

Posted in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I had a neighbour who would always answer me when I asked him how things were going for him by saying “I’m living the dream!” It’s not as common as we would like to live out our dreams. I have dreams too, but not all have become a reality. Some have, but not all. For…

Well, they’re back. Another season of Canada’s Worst Driver has returned. This is season nine, but with a little bit of a twist compared to the previous eight seasons. If you’ve watched the series each of the first eight seasons, I’m sure you’ll recognize some of the participants. The producers have brought back previous participants…

It`s your turn

Do you remember the old saying “You don’t know what you don’t know”? I used to dislike that saying but as I continued in road safety, I realized that rule summed up the driving knowledge and ability of many drivers. People tend to do what they know, regardless of whether it was sound or not….

Define “professional driver”

Posted in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I think we’ve all done things that were a little risky throughout our lives. Sometimes we do them without much thought. Hindsight is great though because after doing what was essentially wrong and/or dangerous, we realized it was something we shouldn’t have done to begin with. What would possess us to do things like this,…

TV cars from the 1960’s and 1970’s that I would drive…

Posted in , , , , , , , , ,

As long as I can remember I wanted to drive. I used to sit behind the wheel of my dad’s big old car and pretend I was driving when I was a kid. When I was approaching 16 years old I bought car magazines just drooling at these magnificent machines. Did you have the same…

Consider this a warning

Posted in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

We’ve grown up listening to warnings. Our parents warned us of what was dangerous to us and many products have warning labels on them. It’s helpful to have these warnings, provided you notice the warnings. The same can be said about driving. We have so many warning signs on our daily commute, but do you…

April 2013 marks 25 years as a driving instructor with Young Drivers of Canada. It’s quite a milestone in my eyes, but I never thought I would accomplish as much as a driving instructor as I’ve done thus far. When I began in 1988 I had a love of driving and of cars. I also…

Do you know where your car is?

Posted in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Do you know where your car is? If I made you look out onto your driveway, that’s not exactly what I meant. I will see drivers hit objects on the road, including driving through the centre of a pothole or hitting poles at the local drive-thru. Why couldn’t they avoid that object or pothole? I’ve…
