I was traveling along one of our busy roads the other day and happened to hear a few drivers honking at other drivers. I was a little curious as to the reasons why these drivers decided they needed to honk. The danger had already passed in one situation, so why honk? What’s the purpose in…
What’s your sign? When I get that question asked to me I respond “children crossing.” I don’t think that’s what they meant. However, there are a bunch of signs around us and do we even notice half of them? Maybe, but shouldn’t we, as drivers, notice more signs so we can protect ourselves and other…

I’ve recently spent a lot of personal time behind the wheel. For the last 21 years as a driving instructor for Young Drivers of Canada, I’ve spent more time letting other people drive, but this year it’s been different. I’ve spent a lot of time driving to different baseball parks to watch our kids play…
