I was recently driving along a multi-lane road when I noticed a pedestrian doing some work at the end of their driveway. I immediately changed lanes to give some space between myself and this pedestrian if they suddenly fell or just walked out onto the road. I like being proactive with most things. It gives…

We have so many choices to make when we shop that sometimes it can be difficult to make the proper decision. My youngest son had that problem when he was very young. He couldn’t decide what to buy because each item had something good about it. Do you ever feel that way; you can’t decide…

From the April 2010 issue of The Driver magazine; http://thedrivermagazine.com/news/vol8_issue2_pg57_news.html I was recently out with my kids when we went to the mall to look around. We decided to stop at the food court for some food and when I went to see how my oldest son was making out with his decision of what…

I learned to drive when I was a kid

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…

An experience of a lifetime

Driving in different places can be difficult to many people. The fear of not knowing where you’re going can be very overwhelming. Roads you’ve never seen before and higher than normal traffic can lead to high anxiety. I was recently in Montreal and if you’ve ever driven there you’ll already know it’s an experience of…

Can you share the road with cyclists?

From the March 2010 issue of The Driver magazine; http://thedrivermagazine.com/vol8_pg58_news.html Do you remember when you first learned to ride a bike? I was so thrilled that I could get rid of my training wheels and ride my bike like my friends could. It gave me that early feeling of mobility. As a driving instructor, it…

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…

Did you take your silly pills?

Posted in collision free driving, cooperative driving, driver responsibility, driver risk taking, driver stress, driver training, driving articles, Driving in traffic, driving skills, freeway driving, lane of least resistance, learning to drive, passenger safety, Proactive driving, responsible driving, risk taking, safe driving, winter driving

I often wonder if your can have the same experiences of a full moon during daylight hours. Or, maybe drivers take “silly pills” before they get into the car. We recently received a substantial amount of snow. We’ve been lucky this winter; rarely any snow at all. Driving along in the snow last night and…
