Do you know where your car is? If I made you look out onto your driveway, that’s not exactly what I meant. I will see drivers hit objects on the road, including driving through the centre of a pothole or hitting poles at the local drive-thru. Why couldn’t they avoid that object or pothole? I’ve…

I was speaking to a group of new students I was teaching at Young Driver’s of Canadarecently about parking skills. Learning to drive also means learning to park. Most people don’t put a lot of effort into parking choices and skills after they get their driver’s license. Do you? We continued to talk about safe…

Would you have the nerve?

I was recently speaking with co-workers when we were discussing driving manners. We included our chat about drivers who park in handicapped reserved parking spaces without permission. What I mean by permission is the permits that are given to those who need it. My father-in-law needs to park there since he has severe difficulty walking….

Are you a good communicator?

Would you consider yourself to be a good communicator? I know many people who say they have good communications with their family members. As a member of a busy family of 6 people, it can become very difficult to keep good communication between members of the family all the time. How well do you communicate…

I know we’re in a hurry to do things these days. It’s part of our society to be busy. Part of the problem we have is that we run out of time to get everything done that we need to get done. Do you ever find yourself rushing around to get things done that you…

There have been times that we’re not always thinking straight. We make mistakes and that’s normal. If we try to take our time and make solid decisions, it can help us survive in this world. The same can be said about driving. Being distracted is a huge part of our society these days. Paying attention…

We know there are things we’ve done in our past that we regret. Since we can’t go back in time, I try to think about my future actions before I do them. This is especially true when it comes to driving. How conscious are you of your driving actions? Are you aware of the repercussions…

We all have a purpose when we enter a parking lot; to find a place to park. There’s really more to it than that. Parking lots are risky places to drive. People are leaving their spots with the hopes of escaping the crowds relatively unscathed. Pedestrians walk between vehicles so they can take less time…
