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…

Where would we be as a society if we didn’t drive our vehicles so often? I do try to avoid driving everywhere, but sometimes it’s so much more convenient to drive as opposed to bike, walk or take public transportation. Planning my route when I have to run errands also means I have more than…
