When I’m teaching my students at Young Drivers of Canada I will often remind them to ask questions any time they feel confused or aren’t sure what to do next. I promote the asking of questions, including with my kids. What better way to find out an answer to a problem. With this in mind,…

Brake early…with no regrets

Posted in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Hindsight; we’ve all experienced it from time to time. We end up doing things and after it’s done we wish we had done something else. How often does this happen to you? Perhaps a better question is how often does it happen to you while you’re driving? Do you regret making some of your driving…

We are all creatures of habit so much that we rarely change what we’re doing until someone or something brings it to our attention. We do things that we always do hoping to get the same results. Does this sound like you? Well, now is the time to make some conscience changes to your driving…

As written for The Insurance Hunters. Please visit their blog. We’ve heard so much recently about distracted driving that we’re probably pretty tired about hearing all of the problems associated to doing it.

I’ve found my purpose. Have you?

Posted in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

We all have a purpose in life. That’s what I’ve been told and I pretty much believe that, even when life throws you a curveball. When bad news happens to us, we often ask “Why me?” Maybe there was a purpose for it. Who knows. What I do know is we can all make a…

If your vehicles could talk, what would they say?

Posted in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Ever since we were kids we were always told what to do. We either grew up with our parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles and even siblings telling us what we should do and should not do. For those who get married, that role is transferred over to our spouse. When we get a job our…
