My youngest son and I were talking about drivers the other day and he thought it would be fun to make a list of the top things you shouldn’t do while driving. We all know that texting and talking on your cell phone is a major problem while driving and is very obvious to many…

Driving in different places can be difficult to many people. The fear of not knowing where you’re going can be very overwhelming. Roads you’ve never seen before and higher than normal traffic can lead to high anxiety. I was recently in Montreal and if you’ve ever driven there you’ll already know it’s an experience of…

Back to basics…

I can’t help it. I admit I have a problem. I watch drivers and can’t fully understand why some people drive the way they do. There’s no logic in what they do and if they haven’t gotten into a collision yet, they’re probably close to it. I’m pretty sure they didn’t drive that way when…

We have roughly 23 million drivers in Canada these days. We get more and more every year. Each year I continue driving, I see an increasing number of drivers doing strange and unusual things. What have you seen lately? Just the other day as I was traveling to work, I noticed a driver putting on…

Let the practice begin!

I often get asked from parents of new drivers how they can keep their sanity while they sit in the passenger seat when the new driver is driving. Finally, it’s time to help all of the parents of new drivers. It’s time to put down your valium and rejoice! Help is on the way! The…

Are you a victim?

Do vehicle crashes affect more than the people who are directly involved in them? When we hear of a collision, we immediately think about who was injured; or worse, who has died in the crash. That’s important to know this in our society, but are there other “victims” of crashes. Perhaps you’ve been a victim…

How personal do you take it?

I’ve met thousands of people over the years and most of them were nice people who took problems in stride. They were easy to get along with and fun to spend time with. What type of personality do you have? Do you let things slide off your back or do you take things personally? I’ve…

Are you a crash test dummy?

Human nature is a funny thing. We all have a few quirks that make people look at us and wonder what’s going on inside our head. I get that each time I do a different looking maneuver while driving. What appears to be wrong is only different. Have you ever noticed a driver do something…
