One of the slowest police chases ever

Tag; you’re it. Remember when you were a kid and ran around your yard, the park or even the neighbourhood playing a game of tag? Wasn’t that fun? You would chase your friends until you caught them. Luckily for many people, the game of “tag” stops before you drive. When a driver has broken the…

So it’s happening again; another season of Canada’s Worst Driver. This is season 7 and to be quite honest, after 7 seasons, has it run its course? I know there’s a following of this show across our great land as I still get recognized from my stint as a judge on the show for seasons…

I was recently out with my teenage son bringing him back from his hockey practice. Yes, apparently my life goal is to drive my kids to and from their activities. Anyway, it was dark and raining while we were traveling on a multi-lane one way street with four lanes in our direction. I was in…

Are you a good communicator?

Would you consider yourself to be a good communicator? I know many people who say they have good communications with their family members. As a member of a busy family of 6 people, it can become very difficult to keep good communication between members of the family all the time. How well do you communicate…

How’s your autopilot?

I’ve often talked about driving habits with many people over the years. We all have habits; whether they’re good or bad. Every driver’s goal should be to concentrate completely on their driving whenever they’re behind the steering wheel. This creates positive driving habits. What they may be doing after they reach their destination should be…

Like most people out there, I lead a busy life. I do things for my family, myself and my job atYoung Driversof Canada. I’ve learned to prioritize my tasks on a daily basis. Sometime, it’s difficult to stay focused on one task before switching to another. As a driver, that’s difficult to do as well,…

From the 20110818 edition of the Hamilton Mountain News written by Scott Marshall http://www.hamiltonnews.com/news/columns/community-columnist-share-the-road-and-we-will-all-be-a-little-happier/ Share and share alike; that’s what we’ve been told as a child growing up. We were taught to share our toys, share our candy and share our friends. For some reason though, we stop sharing when we start driving. Sharing the…

How well do you drive near bicycle lanes?

Posted in bicycle lanes, blocking intersections, collision free driving, communicating, cyclists, driver responsibility, driving articles, Driving in traffic, driving near cyclists, right of way, safe driving, sharing the road

I’ve read a lot recently how a variety of communities are putting in new bicycle lanes for cyclists. This is a good idea as it can help protect the cyclists from the high risks associated with traffic each time they ride on busy roads. I think the added pressure the cyclists have is when drivers…
