Even though my oldest son is only 14 years old right now, he’s very eager to learn how to drive. He’s already learned the meaning of most road signs and does ask questions quite often about why certain drivers did certain actions. Every now and then I get asked questions from other members of my…

There seems to be the debate again about the speed you must travel while driving along city streets and freeways. I was asked recently when it’s ok to speed. That can be a tough question to answer. For the most part, you really need to keep to the posted speed limit. Posted speeds are there…

We have so much pressure on ourselves to do the proper thing these days. That pressure seems to start when we were kids as our parents checked up on us from time to time. Sometimes we end up making the wrong choices in life and if we’re lucky, we survive it. I’m sure you’ve done…

Do you push the envelope?

Every now and then I get reminded of why we do certain things as drivers. I’m the type of person that usually does things because I believe in them. Are you like that as well? Once I know something works, I try to keep doing it. For example, I know that slippery roads can reduce…

Do you remember playing “hide and seek” as a child? My kids still play it and seem to enjoy playing that game. I haven’t played it as an adult and don’t really feel the urge to play it any time soon. However, I have seen adults play “hide and seek” lately and it may seem…

Ever since I was a kid, I was always dreaming of having a performance vehicle. I thought it would be nice to own and drive a BMW, Mercedes or perhaps a Porsche. It would be a flashy car and would perform amazingly while I was driving throughout my city. How many of you thought of…

In every jurisdiction you need to do a written test or rules of the road and a test of road signs if you want to get your beginner’s license. To help prepare new drivers, it’s always recommended to review the local driver’s handbook or website. Knowing the rules of the road and what each sign…

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…
