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…

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…

Do your fears control you?

Watching the recent Winter Olympics has made me think; do these athletes have any fears? Can you imagine going down a hill as fast as possible with only a helmet on? I’m not a skier, but just the thought of flying down the hill gives me goose bumps. If they started out in their sport having…

Are you prepared to handle emergencies?

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

We all know that emergencies do happen from time to time, but are you ready to handle them when they do happen? I know that we all wish that emergencies would happen to someone else, but that’s not always going to happen when we’re driving. Since most drivers suffer from the “it-won’t-happen-to-me” syndrome, it may…

Time to clear the air

Posted in , , , , , , ,

Every now and then we need to be reminded of what’s right and what’s not right. That’s why we have parents to keep us in line when we’re kids and now the government as we get older. Rules help to guide our lives and whether we like the rules or not, we need to respect…

Vehicle problems happen to all of us from time to time. It doesn’t just happen to owners of older vehicles, but to newer vehicles as well. Regardless of the age of your vehicle, it’s important to be mentally ready in case a mechanical breakdown occurs. Are you ready? Recently, Toyota has been in the news…

Ice, ice, baby, baby, ice, ice…

Posted in , , , , , , ,

It’s been so cold around here lately that my car has begun to act differently. It almost feels like it’s telling me it wants to find a warm place to rest until the weather warms up. Wait, that was me complaining. The car has begun to creak when I turn the steering wheel, but it…
