Time passes us by. We all pass gas. And eventually, we will all pass on. As you see, passing is part of life. But when should we pass another vehicle on a two lane highway? Should we pass? I remember driving along a two lane highway late at night with my family in the vehicle….

I know we’re in a hurry to do things these days. It’s part of our society to be busy. Part of the problem we have is that we run out of time to get everything done that we need to get done. Do you ever find yourself rushing around to get things done that you…

I’m a pretty busy person these days. From the hours I spend at Young Drivers of Canada, to taking my kids to their activities, to spending time relaxing with my family; it fills my day, week, month and year. When I get a moment to myself, I try to take it and relax. Are you…

As many people do, I wear glasses to drive. I’m near sighted, which means I can see things clearly when they are close to me. I read, write and eat with my glasses off but in order to see the movie, the TV, play sports or drive I need my glasses on. With the high…

Ensuring the brakes work properly for example means you can stop in an emergency if needed. Ensuring the wipers clear a smooth space across the windshield means…

We all have to make decisions in life that make us think hard about our choices. When we’re driving, that happens every day. But how far will you go before you decide it isn’t worth it? Recently, there was a terrible snow storm across our region. The conditions were so bad that transport trucks and…

Don’t let your space be violated

Since it’s getting a little darker a little sooner these days, we tend to use our headlights a little earlier if we’re out after dinner. Have you ever had both of your headlights burn out at the same time? Would you know what to do if that happened to you while driving on a dark…
