Are crashes acceptable?

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

We accept a lot of things in our lives as part of life. Getting a cold, a headache or the flu is normal. For a driver, is getting into a crash normal? Is it acceptable to crash? Is it part of life? If we tend to believe that certain things are going to happen, do…

Do you follow others?

Posted in , , , , , , , ,

Remember when you were a kid and you always seemed to follow the older kids and did what they did? We must have felt they knew what they were doing and nothing could go wrong. I’m sure there were times when things didn’t go their way, but we may have just ignored it. Can that…

Would you notice me?

Posted in , , , , , , ,

Have you ever walked past someone that you knew but you didn’t recognize them? I know someone who walked right past his wife while they both walked on the sidewalk, but she didn’t notice him. How observant were they? What if they used this inability to notice things as a driver and missed seeing things…

No big deal…

Posted in , , , , , , , , ,

I’ve often found that personalities change when people drive. The nicest person can become totally different when get behind the wheel of a car. They take things personally and stop using reality when they drive. Are you this type of driver; or do you know someone who is like this? Putting things into perspective is…

Parking lot risks

Posted in , , , , , , ,

How many times have you done something without thinking it through? One hundred times? One thousand times? More than that? We’re in such a hurry these days that we tend to run into the store to grab a few groceries and then hurry home. We often don’t think things through well enough. The only problem…

Can you really multi-task?

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

How many things can you do at one time? We often hear about people who can do more than one thing at a time; multi-tasking. I’m always so busy that I sometimes wish I had more arms so I could do more tasks. Instead of that, I delegate some of the tasks that need to…

Is it a journey or a race?

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

I know that we’ve been told many times that life is a journey; but is driving also a journey or is it a race? I witness many drivers who seem to be in a race. They weave in and out of traffic as if they are a current driver in the NASCAR series. What do…

Your right or mine?

Posted in , , , , , , ,

I recently had an e-mail from one of the participants of Canada’s Worst Driver asking me about right-of-way. He asked me who should get to go first at a stop sign. It was a good question, considering there are a lot of drivers out there who make this mistake on a regular basis. Are you…
