Should you drive if injured?

Posted in common sense, distracted driving, driver risk taking, driving articles, driving attitude, driving while injured, impaired driving, Proactive driving, responsible driving, risk taking, safe driving, Uncategorized

Just like everyone else, I’m getting older. Although I’m currently in my late 40’s, I often don’t feel my age. I still play street hockey with my kids and their friends and throw the baseball around too. Unfortunately, I have to put those games on hold for a little while. With the actions I do…

Left foot or right foot?

Growing up I saw my parents do many things that I find I do now myself. I think that’s a pretty common thing in most of our lives. They of course were a big influence in our adult lives. That also includes how they drove when you were a kid. I remember watching my dad…

Would you turn blind?

Turning left; it’s one of the most dangerous things we do while driving. Granted, driving in itself is always dangerous. Whether it’s distracted driving, poor road conditions, mechanical breakdown, whatever; it’s always dangerous. Most of the time, our vehicles can protect us with their safety features, but we’re not always that lucky. Considering that most…

Buying a new car…the NEED to know

Recently I was at the Canadian International Auto Show with my two young sons. It’s always fun to go to the Auto Show as many people found out. http://bit.ly/zoK71y I had also taken my dad with me as he was looking for a new vehicle. He figures it may be within a year or so when…

How’s the trunk space?

Posted in buying a vehicle, car colours, driving articles, driving with kids, safe driving, Uncategorized

Sometimes we have too many choices in our lives; too many for our own good. Deciding where to live, what to eat, who our friends will be and what to drive can become difficult decisions. With so many choices in our lives, how on earth can we decide which vehicle to buy when need a…

An uplifting experience

I recently saw a vehicle pass me when I was driving through the city. I know that doesn’t seem unusual, but I actually never saw the driver. When I glanced to their vehicle, it appeared that no one was in the driver’s seat. The head restraint was the only thing I saw as they went…

Communicate? No thank you

Posted in being noticed, common sense, communicating, driver responsibility, driver training, driving articles, driving attitude, Driving in traffic, practising driving skills, safe driving, signaling

Communication; its part of each of our lives. Without communication, we get nothing and receive nothing. But maybe some people communicate for the wrong reasons. I’ve seen many drivers fail to communicate their lane changes, turns and even when they’re slowing down. Do they have a fear of communicating to others or maybe they know…

Do you need a passenger license?

Posted in backseat drivers, cell phone law, cell phones, child seats, common sense, cooperative driving, distracted driving, driver responsibility, driver's license, driving articles, driving fatalities, driving with kids, impaired driving, Keeping a licence, passenger safety, safe driving

Millions upon millions of people work hard throughout their lives to get and keep their driver’s license. Quite a few take professional driver training, but some learn from their family members or friends. That in itself is quite alarming, but what about getting a “passenger license”? Should it be required for every person before they…
