So it’s happening again; another season of Canada’s Worst Driver. This is season 7 and to be quite honest, after 7 seasons, has it run its course? I know there’s a following of this show across our great land as I still get recognized from my stint as a judge on the show for seasons…

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….

Do you play well with others?

As most people do, I try to do things throughout my life that are on the safe side. I try to avoid doing too many risky things so as not to risk injury to myself or other people or property. I also try not to do things that affect other people in a negative way….

Look after your vehicle and it will look after you

I enjoy looking after my vehicle. When I drive a vehicle that looks and operates effectively, I feel more in control of it. Knowing my vehicle will respond correctly when I need it to is important for me. Knowing the brakes will stop my vehicle when I press the pedal is important. Knowing the vehicle…

How’s your autopilot?

I’ve often talked about driving habits with many people over the years. We all have habits; whether they’re good or bad. Every driver’s goal should be to concentrate completely on their driving whenever they’re behind the steering wheel. This creates positive driving habits. What they may be doing after they reach their destination should be…

We often find ourselves in traffic jams from time to time. We all know that in rush hour no one is really rushing anywhere. There are often too many vehicles for the road to handle. Think of it as the same as a crowded hallway. Too many people walking in the same direction will often…

I’ve read a lot recently how a variety of communities are putting in new bicycle lanes for cyclists. This is a good idea as it can help protect the cyclists from the high risks associated with traffic each time they ride on busy roads. I think the added pressure the cyclists have is when drivers…
