Ever since I was a kid, I was always dreaming of having a performance vehicle. I thought it would be nice to own and drive a BMW, Mercedes or perhaps a Porsche. It would be a flashy car and would perform amazingly while I was driving throughout my city. How many of you thought of…

I’ve often written about having an escape route in case of trouble, but when should you use your escape? Remember when you were a kid and were playing “tag”? You often waited until the person who was “it” was close to you before you moved out of the way. Wasn’t that too late? Couldn’t they…

How well do you communicate?

If you live in a busy household like I do, I’m sure you’ve experienced missed messages that never reached you. Every now and then I find out that someone called me and someone in my house took the message. I never got it. The person who called me may think I didn’t care about what…

I was recently driving along a multi-lane road when I noticed a pedestrian doing some work at the end of their driveway. I immediately changed lanes to give some space between myself and this pedestrian if they suddenly fell or just walked out onto the road. I like being proactive with most things. It gives…

Are were really advancing?

Are the vehicles we drive safer, or more troublesome? Are the items added to enhance the appeal of the vehicle making us rely more on the vehicle than ourselves as drivers? I’m glad we’re progressing as a society when it comes to vehicle safety, but are we getting out of hand with these new “gadgets”?…

Driving schools aren’t all the same

We have so many choices to make when we shop that sometimes it can be difficult to make the proper decision. My youngest son had that problem when he was very young. He couldn’t decide what to buy because each item had something good about it. Do you ever feel that way; you can’t decide…

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. We decided to stop at the food court for some food and when I went to see how my oldest son was making out with his decision of what…

I learned to drive when I was a kid

I’ve learned a lot of things when I was a kid. My parents did a good job in teaching me life lessons. I use my manners and try to think of the consequences of my actions before I do them. Yes, I’ve done some things in my life that I’ve regretted, but I did learn…
