How well do you communicate?

If you live in a busy household like I do, I’m sure you’ve experienced missed messages that never reached you. Every now and then I find out that someone called me and someone in my house took the message. I never got it. The person who called me may think I didn’t care about what…

I was recently driving along a multi-lane road when I noticed a pedestrian doing some work at the end of their driveway. I immediately changed lanes to give some space between myself and this pedestrian if they suddenly fell or just walked out onto the road. I like being proactive with most things. It gives…

Are were really advancing?

Are the vehicles we drive safer, or more troublesome? Are the items added to enhance the appeal of the vehicle making us rely more on the vehicle than ourselves as drivers? I’m glad we’re progressing as a society when it comes to vehicle safety, but are we getting out of hand with these new “gadgets”?…

We have so many choices to make when we shop that sometimes it can be difficult to make the proper decision. My youngest son had that problem when he was very young. He couldn’t decide what to buy because each item had something good about it. Do you ever feel that way; you can’t decide…

From the April 2010 issue of The Driver magazine; http://thedrivermagazine.com/news/vol8_issue2_pg57_news.html I was recently out with my kids when we went to the mall to look around. We decided to stop at the food court for some food and when I went to see how my oldest son was making out with his decision of what…

My youngest son and I were talking about drivers the other day and he thought it would be fun to make a list of the top things you shouldn’t do while driving. We all know that texting and talking on your cell phone is a major problem while driving and is very obvious to many…

An experience of a lifetime

Driving in different places can be difficult to many people. The fear of not knowing where you’re going can be very overwhelming. Roads you’ve never seen before and higher than normal traffic can lead to high anxiety. I was recently in Montreal and if you’ve ever driven there you’ll already know it’s an experience of…

Back to basics…

I can’t help it. I admit I have a problem. I watch drivers and can’t fully understand why some people drive the way they do. There’s no logic in what they do and if they haven’t gotten into a collision yet, they’re probably close to it. I’m pretty sure they didn’t drive that way when…
