Being involved in road safety for almost 27 years has taught me to be specific. Training any driver of any experience level it always came down to explaining what I wanted them to do, not what I didn’t want them to do. Such as the old saying; “we don’t say don’t” when giving instructions. With…

Deep down we all do things for a reason. Even as kids we did what we wanted, but when asked by our parents why we did what we did, we often replied “I don’t know”. Perhaps we were embarrassed with our personal reason for our actions, or perhaps we knew the person asking the question…

Are all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicles and 4-wheel drive (4WD) vehicles really worth it?

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

I’ve been involved in road safety for a long time. It’s getting closer and closer to thirty years and I often get asked more and more questions pertaining to driving because of this. I was recently asked by a few people what the value of all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicles and four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicles would…

How to save a buck…or a doe

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

As drivers, we always have to be on the lookout for other vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. In other words; all other road users. Sometimes we forget about the other road users – wildlife. Thousands and thousands of deer are struck and killed each year on our roads and many people are also killed or seriously…
