One of the slowest police chases ever

Tag; you’re it. Remember when you were a kid and ran around your yard, the park or even the neighbourhood playing a game of tag? Wasn’t that fun? You would chase your friends until you caught them. Luckily for many people, the game of “tag” stops before you drive. When a driver has broken the…

As most people do, I try to do things throughout my life that are on the safe side. I try to avoid doing too many risky things so as not to risk injury to myself or other people or property. I also try not to do things that affect other people in a negative way….

Would you consider yourself to be a good communicator? I know many people who say they have good communications with their family members.

We often find ourselves in traffic jams from time to time. We all know that in rush hour no one is really rushing anywhere. There are often too many vehicles for the road to handle. Think of it as the same as a crowded hallway. Too many people walking in the same direction will often…

Raising our kids is a full time job. We try to teach them right from wrong. With some luck, they’ll grow up to become a good person. Knowing right from wrong is part of growing up. Knowing when to apologize is also as important, but is it enough? As a driver, does saying “sorry” to…

I’ve written about driving manners and proper driving etiquette a few times over the years, but sometimes we need more frequent reminders to help the driving community become more driving friendly.

I’ve written in the past about the need to use the drive-thru or to park the vehicle and go inside to place your order ( http://bit.ly/bqWV9X ). Depending on your needs, you may split the times from doing either. I prefer to park and go inside, but if you feel you want to use the…

From the April 2010 issue of The Driver magazine; http://thedrivermagazine.com/news/vol8_issue2_pg57_news.html I was recently out with my kids when we went to the mall to look around.
