Are crashes acceptable?

Posted in , , , , , , , , , ,

We accept a lot of things in our lives as part of life. Getting a cold, a headache or the flu is normal. For a driver, is getting into a crash normal? Is it acceptable to crash? Is it part of life? If we tend to believe that certain things are going to happen, do…

No big deal…

Posted in , , , , , , , , ,

I’ve often found that personalities change when people drive. The nicest person can become totally different when get behind the wheel of a car. They take things personally and stop using reality when they drive. Are you this type of driver; or do you know someone who is like this? Putting things into perspective is…

Have you been left in the dark?

Posted in , , , , , , , , , ,

Every now and then I’ve been told that I’m a little in the dark when it comes to new technology. I’m glad we have DVD players because my old VCR would still be flashing 12:00. I could never figure that out. I may be in the dark for things like that, but I’m a lot…

Can you really multi-task?

Posted in , , , , , , , , , ,

How many things can you do at one time? We often hear about people who can do more than one thing at a time; multi-tasking. I’m always so busy that I sometimes wish I had more arms so I could do more tasks. Instead of that, I delegate some of the tasks that need to…

Is it a journey or a race?

Posted in , , , , , , , , , ,

I know that we’ve been told many times that life is a journey; but is driving also a journey or is it a race? I witness many drivers who seem to be in a race. They weave in and out of traffic as if they are a current driver in the NASCAR series. What do…

Are we there yet?

Posted in , , , , , , , ,

I was recently chatting with a co-worker who had gone away for the long weekend with his kids. They had a long drive ahead of them as they were visiting family hours away. On their way home, he heard the famous words from one of his kids; “Are we there yet?” How many times have…

Would you buy me a new car?

Posted in , , , , , , ,

Do you remember your first car? I do and I loved it! This car only had lap belts for seatbelts and no airbags as they weren’t invented yet. Ok, now I feel old as I used ‘invented’ in a sentence. As a society, we’ve come a long way in our safety features on our vehicles….

Should I stop or should I go?

Posted in , , , , , , , ,

I believe that following rules of the road will keep us safe as drivers, but sometimes there are times you need to think outside the box. Red lights mean stop, but is there ever a time that stopping would be unsafe? Let’s stop and take a look at what I mean. I was approaching a…
