Another problem has hit the news lately for drivers; brake problems. Drivers are facing brake failure in certain types of vehicles. The manufacturers say it’s a computer problem from the vehicle. The computer problem can be fixed at the dealership, but the driver can also fix the problem by using their own computer; their brain….

Vehicle problems happen to all of us from time to time. It doesn’t just happen to owners of older vehicles, but to newer vehicles as well. Regardless of the age of your vehicle, it’s important to be mentally ready in case a mechanical breakdown occurs. Are you ready? Recently, Toyota has been in the news…

Pay attention to pedestrians, before it’s too late!

With so many pedestrians getting struck by motorists lately, I was wondering what’s happening to make these incidents happen. Well, I had the first hand experience this past Friday to see a pedestrian almost get creamed by a motorist. Maybe more of the fatalities were similar situations to the one I witnessed. I was out…

I recently received a gift from my family; a new hands-free unit for my cell phone. My previous device came with the phone and had two earplugs. The mic was down the wires and often made it seem that I was in another room than my phone. Since Ontario now has a ban on hand-held…

I’m warning you!

How many times have you been driving when, suddenly, a dashboard warning light pops up, but you’re not quite sure you know what’s wrong? Even though our Young Drivers of Canada course covers typical dashboard warning lights, I always remind my students that it’s a good idea to refresh their knowledge by reviewing the owner’s…

I recently wrote about when you should learn how to drive – http://thesafedriver.ca/2009/12/03/when-should-you-learn-to-drive/ – but after thinking about this and talking about this with others, I may have forgotten a big part of this process.

I often see people drive in such a manner I just have one question to ask; why? Have you ever thought why drivers drive like they do? Instead of us wondering why they drive that way, I think it may be better if they ask themselves that very question. There have been a lot of…
