It’s inevitable that winter will arrive each year, but why do so many drivers make it feel like it’s a surprise? The first snowfall each year shows us drivers spin their wheels while trying to move their vehicle. They also use their coat sleeve to clear their windows, or not clear them at all. What…

How much trust do you have in other people? Remember when you were a kid you were always told not to trust strangers, take candy from strangers, talk to strangers and get a ride from strangers? Why do we change that mentality when we’re behind the wheel? As drivers, we tend to trust that the…

One of my sons plays house league hockey and he seems to really enjoy it. He’s not going to be playing in the NHL any time soon, but he’s having fun. Part of his enjoyment is his ability to follow the rules of the game, which gives him opportunities to score goals, help his team…

Tag; you’re it. Remember when you were a kid and ran around your yard, the park or even the neighbourhood playing a game of tag? Wasn’t that fun? You would chase your friends until you caught them. Luckily for many people, the game of “tag” stops before you drive. When a driver has broken the…

It’s been a fear for many parents; how do you teach your kids to cross the street safely? We do our best to show them how drivers may not see them walking through the crosswalk. We always try to get them to cross at the corners and avoid crossing in the middle of the block….

I’ll often write down things to help me remember what to do during the day. You know; just like a to-do list. We often forget things over time and need reminders to help us stay on track. Are you like that? What happens if you forget to do some things you know you were supposed…

Look after your vehicle and it will look after you

I enjoy looking after my vehicle. When I drive a vehicle that looks and operates effectively, I feel more in control of it.

Imagine yourself riding a roller coaster. The track is a winding, steep ride that allows thrill seekers to enjoy 5 minutes at every amusement park. Remember how you felt sitting in that seat being jolted from side to side and finding yourself holding onto the safety rail with all your might? Wasn’t that a lot…
