We’ve all made mistakes in our lives and in most cases, they were minor enough that we could get over them in a short period of time. I was brought up to respect other people and not to do things that would inconvenience other people. Were you brought up the same way? When I make…

Share and share alike…even with cyclists

Share and share alike; we’ve heard that many, many times over the years. We’ve been asked to share our toys when we were a kid. We’ve shared our tools, food and good times with family and friends as well. How about sharing the road? Are you too aggressive to share the road or do you…

Turning left; it’s one of the most dangerous things we do while driving. Granted, driving in itself is always dangerous. Whether it’s distracted driving, poor road conditions, mechanical breakdown, whatever; it’s always dangerous. Most of the time, our vehicles can protect us with their safety features, but we’re not always that lucky. Considering that most…

A crash that didn’t have to happen

Our lives are filled with choices; what to eat, what to wear, where to live, etc. With those choices also comes hindsight. We’ve all experienced situations where we would make alternative choices if we could go back in time. Since we can’t do that it’s important to make good choices as often as possible, especially…

Owning up to your mistakes takes courage

I have a guilty conscience. I always have and I’m pretty sure I always will. My kids have the same, which is a really good trait as far as I’m concerned. I’ll admit fault when I’m guilty and apologize when I’m wrong. I know I’m not alone with this feeling. Do you act the same…

It’s been a fear for many parents; how do you teach your kids to cross the street safely? We do our best to show them how drivers may not see them walking through the crosswalk. We always try to get them to cross at the corners and avoid crossing in the middle of the block….

What do you do at the scene of a crash?

For some people, getting into a collision is part of life. I don’t agree with that as there are many things we, as drivers, can do to prevent it. Having a properly tuned vehicle prepared to drive in poor weather with proper tires is part of it. Being mentally ready is another huge part of…
