We all have to make decisions in life that make us think hard about our choices. When we’re driving, that happens every day. But how far will you go before you decide it isn’t worth it? Recently, there was a terrible snow storm across our region. The conditions were so bad that transport trucks and…

Do you drive it like a pinball?

I’m a sports fan and I’ve often heard commentators refer to a hockey player, football receiver, basketball player or baseball player as having good hands or soft hands. This has nothing to do with which hand lotion they use, but more about how much control they have with their sport when they use their hands….

We all have habits; some good and some not so good. For example, I have a habit of biting my finger nails while I’m watching a close game during a sporting event. I know other people who have a habit of saying certain phrases all the time, like “you know what I mean” or “like”….

So, season 6 of Canada’s Worst Driver on Discovery has begun. Apparently, they have a candidate by the name of Scott. This isn’t me. However, I was a judge for the first 3 seasons of Canada’s Worst Driver. The ‘Scott’ on season 6 is 25 and although I was 25 once before, that was a…

Staying between the lines

We know there are things we’ve done in our past that we regret. Since we can’t go back in time, I try to think about my future actions before I do them. This is especially true when it comes to driving. How conscious are you of your driving actions? Are you aware of the repercussions…

How many drivers really know what yielding means?

Posted in collision free driving, common sense, cooperative driving, driver risk taking, driver stress, driver training, driving articles, Driving in traffic, driving skills, learning to drive, Proactive driving, right of way, road signs, roundabouts, safe driving

Drivers across our country seem to have a different interpretation to a lot of driving rules. Most drivers won’t admit it, but I see it happen almost every day that I drive. The one that I witness most often is the difference between stopping and yielding. Is there a difference? When do you not have…

Raising my kids has been an adventure. They’re all old enough to recognize good from evil; most of the time. They will also tend to do a lot of things they see me do. You know the saying; monkey see – monkey do. Do you think kids will copy the bad things you do? I…

Space, what space?

Posted in collision free driving, defensive driving, driver training, driving articles, driving basics, Driving in traffic, driving skills, freeway driving, merging on the freeway, one way streets, risk taking, safe driving, sharing the road

We all realize how important it is to keep space around our vehicles whenever we drive. Well, most of us realize this. Actually, probably only a handful of drivers know about this space issue. Are you one of the privileged few? I will often see drivers tailgate each other and that makes their driving more…
