Mind your manners

From the April 2010 issue of The Driver magazine; http://thedrivermagazine.com/news/vol8_issue2_pg57_news.html I was recently out with my kids when we went to the mall to look around. We decided to stop at the food court for some food and when I went to see how my oldest son was making out with his decision of what…

I learned to drive when I was a kid

I’ve learned a lot of things when I was a kid. My parents did a good job in teaching me life lessons. I use my manners and try to think of the consequences of my actions before I do them. Yes, I’ve done some things in my life that I’ve regretted, but I did learn…

In every jurisdiction you need to do a written test or rules of the road and a test of road signs if you want to get your beginner’s license. To help prepare new drivers, it’s always recommended to review the local driver’s handbook or website. Knowing the rules of the road and what each sign…

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…

Let the practice begin!

I often get asked from parents of new drivers how they can keep their sanity while they sit in the passenger seat when the new driver is driving. Finally, it’s time to help all of the parents of new drivers. It’s time to put down your valium and rejoice! Help is on the way! The…

Are you common?

Posted in common sense, driver responsibility, driver risk taking, driver stress, driver training, driving articles, driving in the rain, Driving in traffic, driving skills, pedestrian safety, responsible driving, right of way, safe driving, speeding

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…

Growing up in our society has made me aware that we’ve got a lot of choices. We can decide where to live, where to work, what to eat and what to wear. Sometimes, there seems to be too many choices in our lives that it’s difficult to make a solid choice. Have you experienced too…

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…
