Rain, rain go away…

Rain, rain, go away, come again another day. Remember that little song as a kid? I sometimes have that song in my head even as an adult. Mainly because there are things I need to do and the rain slows down my day. The main thing the rain does to many drivers is slow down…



It’s never too early…

The passion I have for road safety goes beyond driving a motor vehicle; it also includes walking, running, cycling, skateboarding and anything you can think of. Distracted driving is huge within our society so being aware of the dangers that can be sent our way is important. Even if you’re careful, something may go wrong…



Funeral processions…the need to know

I recently had a long-time friend pass away. It was unexpected and was caused by a heart attack. I was able to attend the visitation but was unable to go to the funeral or travel to the cemetery for the burial.

Bump or hump; they do the same job

I’ll often remind my kids to do their chores, their homework and to get ready for school or activities. I’ll often write myself notes to do things so I won’t forget.

As a father of four kids, I’m often tied up with getting involved with their activities such as coaching baseball, soccer and camping. Another common activity a lot of kids have is searching out…



What a knob!

Many people over the years have tried a variety of things to make their driving easier. The automakers brought in power steering and power brakes decades ago so drivers could brake and steer with much more ease. More electronic devices have been made readily available over the past decade to help drivers maneuver their vehicle…



I just can’t see it

I think we’ve all heard the saying “you can’t see the forest because of the trees”, but sometimes it should be “you can’t see the road because of the hedges”. Having good visibility is the key to entering intersections safely, but sometimes it can be tough to see clearly enough to proceed into intersection. What…
