Steady pressure wins the money

We all know there are times when we push the envelope and try to get ahead. For many of us, we only think about the immediate and not about the future. But what about long term? Do we think about our long term goals or objectives enough, especially while driving? Probably not, but it’s never…



Drivers need to use logic and common sense…

Logic, common sense, practicality, judgement, reasoning… these words to me describes what a driver needs to make good choices behind the wheel. For the most part, drivers tend to have most of these…most of the time. How often do you use good logic while driving compared to lack of common sense? Think about it, the…



Rain, rain go away…

Rain, rain, go away, come again another day. Remember that little song as a kid? I sometimes have that song in my head even as an adult. Mainly because there are things I need to do and the rain slows down my day. The main thing the rain does to many drivers is slow down…



Funeral processions…the need to know

I recently had a long-time friend pass away. It was unexpected and was caused by a heart attack. I was able to attend the visitation but was unable to go to the funeral or travel to the cemetery for the burial. Ironically, I was also recently asked shortly afterwards about the responsibilities of drivers who…

We often need reminders to do things. Even licensed drivers need constant reminders too, which is why I write these driving articles. Speed limit…




The little things mean a lot

Teaching my son part two…turning it off

I recently wrote about teaching my son how to drive. It’s been a few weeks now so I thought I would give an update. First and foremost we haven’t tried to kill each other…yet. I still remind him of the first rule; if he doesn’t do what I say I’ll tell mom. So far that…



Take advantage of what you’ve got

I love a bargain. If I don’t have to pay full price for something, I’m there. With four kids you learn to take advantage of things when you can to allow you to get ahead. I also try to get to where I’m going on time, if not early. I try to take advantage of…
