Can you share the road with cyclists?

From the March 2010 issue of The Driver magazine; http://thedrivermagazine.com/vol8_pg58_news.html Do you remember when you first learned to ride a bike? I was so thrilled that I could get rid of my training wheels and ride my bike like my friends could. It gave me that early feeling of mobility. As a driving instructor, it…

We have roughly 23 million drivers in Canada these days. We get more and more every year. Each year I continue driving, I see an increasing number of drivers doing strange and unusual things. What have you seen lately? Just the other day as I was traveling to work, I noticed a driver putting on…

Let the practice begin!

I often get asked from parents of new drivers how they can keep their sanity while they sit in the passenger seat when the new driver is driving. Finally, it’s time to help all of the parents of new drivers. It’s time to put down your valium and rejoice! Help is on the way! The…

Are you common?

We all have habits; whether they’re good or bad. I’ll often bite my finger nails when I’m watching a close game of hockey, football, baseball, etc.; especially if my team is hanging on for the win. Driving also has to be done with habits; hopefully good habits. Current thoughts and common sense must also be…

Growing up in our society has made me aware that we’ve got a lot of choices. We can decide where to live, where to work, what to eat and what to wear. Sometimes, there seems to be too many choices in our lives that it’s difficult to make a solid choice. Have you experienced too…

Are you a victim?

Do vehicle crashes affect more than the people who are directly involved in them? When we hear of a collision, we immediately think about who was injured; or worse, who has died in the crash. That’s important to know this in our society, but are there other “victims” of crashes. Perhaps you’ve been a victim…

Did you take your silly pills?

I often wonder if your can have the same experiences of a full moon during daylight hours. Or, maybe drivers take “silly pills” before they get into the car. We recently received a substantial amount of snow. We’ve been lucky this winter; rarely any snow at all. Driving along in the snow last night and…

Watching the recent Winter Olympics has made me think; do these athletes have any fears? Can you imagine going down a hill as fast as possible with only a helmet on? I’m not a skier, but just the thought of flying down the hill gives me goose bumps. If they started out in their sport having…
