Canada’s Worst Driver 8…the updates

So here it is; another season of Canada’s Worst Driver. This is the 8th year that people try to prove to others they aren’t bad drivers or try to get the much needed help they or other people wish they could get. I like to think that by watching what these drivers do, others who…



Is it only illegal if you get caught?

How often do you find yourself running late? When you do, how often do you forget things or take chances because you’re late? I would often forget specific books when I slept in for school. It normally annoyed me when I made those mistakes, which usually forced my hand to make other mistakes. Most of…



Canada’s Worst Driver…8

Well, it’s happening again; another season of Canada’s Worst Driver. This is the 8th season. When I first appeared as a judge during their first 3 seasons, I never thought it would last this long.

How not to roll your vehicle…101

Some drivers need a good talking to!

Honk twice if you like peace and quiet. I brake for garage sales. None of these are of my opinion, I’ve just noticed them on bumper stickers. I’m not a fan of bumper stickers and never really have been. I don’t like the glue residue they leave on the vehicle and some people really try…



Sometimes it’s an uphill battle

Have you ever bumped into the person walking ahead of you while walking in a store, the mall or on the street? Isn’t that embarrassing? I’ve watched people do that quite a bit over the years in the busy downtown core where I work. I’ve even watched people start walking when the person ahead of…
