Can you share the road with cyclists?

Posted in , , , , , , , , ,

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…

What have you seen lately?

We have roughly 23 million drivers in Canada these days. We get more and more every year. Each year I continue driving, I see an increasing number of drivers doing strange and unusual things. What have you seen lately? Just the other day as I was traveling to work, I noticed a driver putting on…

Let the practice begin!

I often get asked from parents of new drivers how they can keep their sanity while they sit in the passenger seat when the new driver is driving. Finally, it’s time to help all of the parents of new drivers. It’s time to put down your valium and rejoice! Help is on the way! The…

Are you common?

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

We all have habits; whether they’re good or bad. I’ll often bite my finger nails when I’m watching a close game of hockey, football, baseball, etc.; especially if my team is hanging on for the win. Driving also has to be done with habits; hopefully good habits. Current thoughts and common sense must also be…

Instead…

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

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…

Are you a victim?

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

Do vehicle crashes affect more than the people who are directly involved in them? When we hear of a collision, we immediately think about who was injured; or worse, who has died in the crash. That’s important to know this in our society, but are there other “victims” of crashes. Perhaps you’ve been a victim…

How personal do you take it?

Posted in , , , , , , , , ,

I’ve met thousands of people over the years and most of them were nice people who took problems in stride. They were easy to get along with and fun to spend time with. What type of personality do you have? Do you let things slide off your back or do you take things personally? I’ve…

Are you a crash test dummy?

Posted in , , , , , , , ,

Human nature is a funny thing. We all have a few quirks that make people look at us and wonder what’s going on inside our head. I get that each time I do a different looking maneuver while driving. What appears to be wrong is only different. Have you ever noticed a driver do something…
