How ready for winter driving are you?

It’s inevitable that winter will arrive each year, but why do so many drivers make it feel like it’s a surprise? The first snowfall each year shows us drivers spin their wheels while trying to move their vehicle. They also use their coat sleeve to clear their windows, or not clear them at all. What…

Looking after our vehicles is part of every vehicle owner’s job and driver’s job. Having a vehicle that’s running smoothly means it’ll be a safer vehicle to drive. Ensuring the brakes work properly for example means you can stop in an emergency if needed. Ensuring the wipers clear a smooth space across the windshield means…

Winter driving…..myths or truths?

Posted in Adjusting to vehicles, collision free driving, common sense, defensive driving, driver risk taking, driver training, driving skills, handling driving emergencies, learning to drive, risk taking, safe driving, skid control, winter driving

For many years I’ve heard of drivers giving poor advice to other drivers about how to drive in snow and on ice. I’m not sure where they got their information from, but does it make any sense to take advice because the “guys at work” told you? I grew up with that as a kid….

Is there winter etiquette too?

I’ve written about driving manners and proper driving etiquette a few times over the years, but sometimes we need more frequent reminders to help the driving community become more driving friendly. This winter has been snow-filled for many communities. We spend so much time digging our vehicles out of snow and driving through snow, slush…

Could you avoid this crash?

Sometimes it’s difficult to decide if skill or luck is on our side when we do things. Playing sports is a good example. My son has scored goals during hockey games because he happened to be in the right place at the right time. One goal even bounced off his facemask into the net. Those…

We all have to make decisions in life that make us think hard about our choices. When we’re driving, that happens every day. But how far will you go before you decide it isn’t worth it? Recently, there was a terrible snow storm across our region. The conditions were so bad that transport trucks and…

Did you take your silly pills?

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…
