We often hear of things in our lives that are related to driving or vehicles. There’s driving music, driving gloves, drive in movies, drive-thru’s and even driving hats. What about driving words or phrases? We’ve used phrases that relate to what we’re doing in the car like “it took the corner like it was on…

Our society tells us that we live in busy times. With 4 kids all active with many activities, I totally believe the reports, but there has to be times that we need to slow down and enjoy the ride, right? I mean, speeding through busy roads and weaving throughout traffic doesn’t really help the situation,…

Keeping the kids in check on trips

Since we’re heading into the holiday season, perhaps we need a few reminders before taking those holiday trips. A lot of families make those long drives to visit friends and family over the holidays. It’s always a nice time when we all get together, but how do you keep your kids in check on these…

So, season 6 of Canada’s Worst Driver on Discovery has begun. Apparently, they have a candidate by the name of Scott. This isn’t me. However, I was a judge for the first 3 seasons of Canada’s Worst Driver. The ‘Scott’ on season 6 is 25 and although I was 25 once before, that was a…

Raising my kids has been an adventure. They’re all old enough to recognize good from evil; most of the time. They will also tend to do a lot of things they see me do. You know the saying; monkey see – monkey do. Do you think kids will copy the bad things you do? I…

We all go in the car with our friends and family and become passengers, but sometimes we really prefer to drive. It’s not always about being in control. It’s often about staying alive. We’ve all come across drivers who scare us when they’re driving. They either go too fast when they shouldn’t or weave in…

Posted in common sense, cooling down your car, driver responsibility, driver risk taking, driving articles, driving fatalities, driving role model, driving with kids, driving with pets, passenger safety, responsible driving, risk taking, summer driving

I recently posted an article (http://bit.ly/digmFX ) about how to cool down your vehicle during these hot summer days. We’ve all experienced how the heat grows in a parked vehicle, especially when parked in an open space with windows barely cracked open. So, if we know how hot the inside of a vehicle gets, why…

Littering is a nasty driving habit

Posted in cleaning a car, driver responsibility, driving articles, Driving in traffic, driving manners, driving role model, littering from your car

I recently posted an article about washing your car and cleaning the interior. I like having a clean car and garbage doesn’t belong on the floor any where; including my car. I guess it’s turned into a bit of an obsession for me. I despise littering and what’s worse is when someone throws garbage out…
