Mind your manners

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…

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…

An experience of a lifetime

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…

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…

Did you take your silly pills?

I often wonder if your can have the same experiences of a full moon during daylight hours. Or, maybe drivers take “silly pills” before they get into the car. We recently received a substantial amount of snow. We’ve been lucky this winter; rarely any snow at all. Driving along in the snow last night and…

Watching the recent Winter Olympics has made me think; do these athletes have any fears? Can you imagine going down a hill as fast as possible with only a helmet on? I’m not a skier, but just the thought of flying down the hill gives me goose bumps. If they started out in their sport having…

Time to clear the air

Every now and then we need to be reminded of what’s right and what’s not right. That’s why we have parents to keep us in line when we’re kids and now the government as we get older. Rules help to guide our lives and whether we like the rules or not, we need to respect…
