When slowing is worth it

Posted in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

For regular readers of my work you’ll know of my passion for promoting safe driving. After all, the title of this site is ‘The Safe Driver’. Even though I tend to put emphasis towards safely driving a vehicle, I do sometimes put emphasis on cyclists and pedestrian safety. This is one of those times to…

I’ve talked to many people over the years about what makes someone a good driver. Many say its attitude. Others say good reaction time does the trick. Some will say proper training is the key. Well, those all play a role into whether or not you’re going to be a good driver, but let’s look…

For some drivers, what would it take…

Where ever I go I often get asked driving advice. People want the little bits of information that will either prove to them they’re doing what they’re supposed to do, or advice to help them with things they never really knew. Often the purpose of my articles is to inform drivers of both of those…

How to save a buck…or a doe

Posted in , , , , , , , , , , , ,

As drivers, we always have to be on the lookout for other vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. In other words; all other road users. Sometimes we forget about the other road users – wildlife. Thousands and thousands of deer are struck and killed each year on our roads and many people are also killed or seriously…

Missing your turn doesn’t have to happen…

Planning your route No one is perfect. We all make mistakes from time to time. However, after making a mistake do you learn from it? Can you think rationally after the mistake to pull it all together and complete what you wanted to do? Some people panic after making – in their mind – a…

Turning left on a red light?
