As a driving instructor with Young Drivers of Canada, I often get new students who have been driving for a number of weeks prior to starting their driving lessons with me. I guess they wanted a head start, right? When I ask who they normally drive with at home, the answer often varies. Sometimes other…

We have spies among us

We’ve all been in situations where someone overhears our conversation with someone else. We often lower our voice so others won’t be able to hear us. We think we’re able to keep a secret from others. Well, that may work when you’re speaking, but it won’t necessarily work when you’re driving. That’s because we have…

Seatbelts aren’t decorations

Posted in common sense, crash test dummy, driver responsibility, driver risk taking, driver training, driving articles, driving fatalities, Driving in traffic, driving role model, driving stats, passenger safety, responsible driving, safe driving, seatbelts

My ears tend to perk up when I hear anything to do with driving. Whether it’s on the TV news, people having a conversation or in print, I listen carefully to what people are saying. Sometimes I use these methods to update my knowledge of driving techniques and changes to driving laws. Sometimes, I hear…

You CAN fight against Murphy’s Law and win

Posted in common sense, cooperative driving, driver stress, driving articles, Driving in traffic, driving near snow plows, driving role model, flow of traffic, risk taking, safe driving, sharing the road, winter manners

Things happen for a reason. We all know that. We don’t have to like it, but we should at least accept it. Our friend Murphy always keeps us on our toes. You know what I mean; Murphy’s Law seems to rule our lives too many times. Since Murphy’s Law always seems to rear its ugly…

Driver’s license photos tell a story

Posted in driver's license, driving articles, driving role model, Graduated Licensing, Keeping a licence

I’ve always had a difficult time posing for pictures. I could never really smile properly enough to make it a nice picture. My school pictures from when I was a kid proved it. The worst ones were the pictures taken when we were on vacation. No action shots there. We had to stand, make it…

Is there pressure to do the proper thing?

Posted in car insurance, common sense, demerit points, driver responsibility, driver risk taking, driving articles, Driving in traffic, driving role model, driving skills, Keeping a licence, racing on public roads, responsible driving, risk taking, safe driving, speeding

We have so much pressure on ourselves to do the proper thing these days. That pressure seems to start when we were kids as our parents checked up on us from time to time. Sometimes we end up making the wrong choices in life and if we’re lucky, we survive it. I’m sure you’ve done…

Why are cell phones still being used?

When I’m teaching students how to drive for Young Drivers of Canada, I give them the information one day and test their understanding the next time I see them. It helps me determine if they understood what was taught previously. Life is like that. Our parents and school teachers taught us things and over time,…
