I was recently talking to my kids about my first car. I loved it, mainly because it was mine, but it did have its flaws. I overlooked what was wrong with the vehicle as I proudly drove it each day, but as time went on, I realized the responsibility of owning a vehicle wasn’t just…

Remember when we were kids we would talk to our toys? We even pretended they were talking to us. Maybe a few of you actually heard them talk? We used our imaginations a lot back then, but what if objects could actually talk to us; perhaps like our vehicles. What do you think they would…

One of the discussions I seem to have on a monthly basis is about right of way. It seems to be confusing to many people; drivers, pedestrians and cyclists alike. What’s your take on this confusing law? Do you have a solid understanding or does it confuse you every now and then? I often refer…

Thousands and thousands of people every year, all across the country, visit the annual new auto show. I can fit into those stats as I recently went to the Canadian International Auto Show and visited all those beautiful new vehicles. My family is in need of a new SUV this year, so we went and…

Life is about learning and enjoying. For many of us, learning new things and becoming proficient at them allows us to enjoy them more. This was the case for both my son and I when he was learning to drive. He was learning how to drive safely in a consistent manner and I was learning…
