Are crashes acceptable?

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…



Do you follow others?

Remember when you were a kid and you always seemed to follow the older kids and did what they did? We must have felt they knew what they were doing and nothing could go wrong. I’m sure there were times when things didn’t go their way, but we may have just ignored it. Can that…

Is it a journey or a race?

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…
