My youngest son and I were talking about drivers the other day and he thought it would be fun to make a list of the top things you shouldn’t do while driving. We all know that texting and talking on your cell phone is a major problem while driving and is very obvious to many…

An experience of a lifetime

Driving in different places can be difficult to many people. The fear of not knowing where you’re going can be very overwhelming. Roads you’ve never seen before and higher than normal traffic can lead to high anxiety. I was recently in Montreal and if you’ve ever driven there you’ll already know it’s an experience of…

Back to basics…

I can’t help it. I admit I have a problem. I watch drivers and can’t fully understand why some people drive the way they do. There’s no logic in what they do and if they haven’t gotten into a collision yet, they’re probably close to it. I’m pretty sure they didn’t drive that way when…

Can you share the road with cyclists?

From the March 2010 issue of The Driver magazine; http://thedrivermagazine.com/vol8_pg58_news.html Do you remember when you first learned to ride a bike? I was so thrilled that I could get rid of my training wheels and ride my bike like my friends could. It gave me that early feeling of mobility. As a driving instructor, it…

What have you seen lately?

We have roughly 23 million drivers in Canada these days. We get more and more every year. Each year I continue driving, I see an increasing number of drivers doing strange and unusual things. What have you seen lately? Just the other day as I was traveling to work, I noticed a driver putting on…

Are you common?

We all have habits; whether they’re good or bad. I’ll often bite my finger nails when I’m watching a close game of hockey, football, baseball, etc.; especially if my team is hanging on for the win. Driving also has to be done with habits; hopefully good habits. Current thoughts and common sense must also be…

Are you a victim?

Posted in car insurance, collision free driving, driver responsibility, driver risk taking, driver stress, driver training, driving articles, Driving in traffic, driving skills, learning to drive, responsible driving, safe driving

Do vehicle crashes affect more than the people who are directly involved in them? When we hear of a collision, we immediately think about who was injured; or worse, who has died in the crash. That’s important to know this in our society, but are there other “victims” of crashes. Perhaps you’ve been a victim…

Did you take your silly pills?

I often wonder if your can have the same experiences of a full moon during daylight hours. Or, maybe drivers take “silly pills” before they get into the car. We recently received a substantial amount of snow. We’ve been lucky this winter; rarely any snow at all. Driving along in the snow last night and…
