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…

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…

Are you common?

We all have habits; whether they’re good or bad. I’ll often bite my finger nails when I’m watching a close game of hockey, football, baseball, etc.; especially if my team is hanging on for the win. Driving also has to be done with habits; hopefully good habits. Current thoughts and common sense must also be…

Growing up in our society has made me aware that we’ve got a lot of choices. We can decide where to live, where to work, what to eat and what to wear. Sometimes, there seems to be too many choices in our lives that it’s difficult to make a solid choice. Have you experienced too…

Pay attention to pedestrians, before it’s too late!

With so many pedestrians getting struck by motorists lately, I was wondering what’s happening to make these incidents happen. Well, I had the first hand experience this past Friday to see a pedestrian almost get creamed by a motorist. Maybe more of the fatalities were similar situations to the one I witnessed. I was out…

Are you in a routine?

Are you paying enough attention to your driving to notice the unusual situations arising? The normal routines we do every day of our lives change every second once we add weather, pedestrians and other road users. Are your ready for these changes? We’ve had a number of pedestrians struck locally as of late and the…

Do you think of the consequences of your actions?

For the 22 years I’ve spent as a driving instructor for Young Drivers of Canada, I’ve often stressed the importance of good observation. It’s a strong fact that we drive with our eyes so our hands and feet, being tools for our eyes, can move the vehicle where we need to. To some people, driving…

I’ve spent a lot of my years working with kids. I’ve coached sports, been a Boy Scouts leader and have raised kids of my own. I often see the same things from each of them; they always look where they aren’t going. One of my sons used to run and while doing so, he would…
