When I’m teaching my students at Young Drivers of Canada I will often remind them to ask questions any time they feel confused or aren’t sure what to do next. I promote the asking of questions, including with my kids. What better way to find out an answer to a problem. With this in mind,…

Spending time with my family is a big part of my life. I love my kids and try to do extra little things with them whenever I can. It was such a nice night recently three of my kids decided to come with me on a bike ride. That too turned into a teaching moment….

I’d like to say that I’m a very supportive person. If anyone in my family wants to do something a little different but safe, I support them. I know how important it is for them, even if I wouldn’t do it myself, so I know supporting them is the proper thing to do, again, provided…

Hindsight; we’ve all experienced it from time to time. We end up doing things and after it’s done we wish we had done something else. How often does this happen to you? Perhaps a better question is how often does it happen to you while you’re driving? Do you regret making some of your driving…

Looking back at our childhood often makes us cringe at the things we’ve done. I’ve jumped out of a tree with an umbrella hoping it would act like a parachute. I’ve jumped off a cliff into the lake not knowing how deep the water really was, just to name a few. Maybe the most dangerous…

Children don’t drive. Adults do

Posted in driving attitude, responsible driving, Young Drivers of Canada

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…
