I was thinking the other day (yes, I do think every now and then) about the different and sometimes strange names people tend to have. I wondered if someone had a driving instructor with a strange name, would you want to learn to drive from them. How good is someone’s instruction if their name was…
It happens every day we drive; distractions. We tend to be our own worse enemy. We’re curious by nature, but when does that curiosity turn into danger? Distracting ourselves has been going on since time began. It’s always a difficult task to stay focused on one thing when something else that may be more interesting…
