Canada’s Worst Driver 8…the updates

So here it is; another season of Canada’s Worst Driver. This is the 8th year that people try to prove to others they aren’t bad drivers or try to get the much needed help they or other people wish they could get. I like to think that by watching what these drivers do, others who…



Is it only illegal if you get caught?

How often do you find yourself running late? When you do, how often do you forget things or take chances because you’re late? I would often forget specific books when I slept in for school. It normally annoyed me when I made those mistakes, which usually forced my hand to make other mistakes. Most of…

Well, it’s happening again; another season of Canada’s Worst Driver. This is the 8th season. When I first appeared as a judge during their first 3 seasons, I never thought it would last this long.

How not to roll your vehicle…101

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…



Dew…and do not

I’ve often said how important visibility is to drivers. Without good visibility, you may miss important information while driving. Has that ever happened to you? As I’ll say to my students I’m teaching at Young Drivers of Canada, you drive with your eyes and your hands and feet are tools for your eyes. Part of…
