A safe driving voice…

This came from an online radio interview I did awhile ago, which was based from Chicago. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/vehicle-vibes-radio/2009/12/29/are-you-really-a-safe-driver

Oops!

Have you ever made a mistake and got so embarrassed that you just wanted to walk away and pretend that it never happened? Maybe you’re the person who drove this car! Wouldn’t you realize that you had half the car on the sidewalk? What possesses someone to just leave their car like this? I remember…

Stats don’t lie

I was recently looking up some traffic statistics and came across some interesting information. The highest percentage of fatalities and serious injuries across Canada come from the 15 – 19 age group; even though that age group has the smallest number of drivers across Canada. Does this surprise you? We all remember how we acted…

I’m warning you!

How many times have you been driving when, suddenly, a dashboard warning light pops up, but you’re not quite sure you know what’s wrong? Even though our Young Drivers of Canada course covers typical dashboard warning lights, I always remind my students that it’s a good idea to refresh their knowledge by reviewing the owner’s…

Do you need to drive?

Posted in alternative to driving, cooperative driving, driver stress, driving articles, fuel economy, passion for safe driving, responsible driving, risk taking

I recently wrote about when you should learn how to drive – http://thesafedriver.ca/2009/12/03/when-should-you-learn-to-drive/ – but after thinking about this and talking about this with others, I may have forgotten a big part of this process. After you learn how to drive, do you drive for the sake of driving, or do you really need to…

Sometimes you just need to ask; why?

Posted in collision free driving, cooperative driving, driver risk taking, driver stress, driver training, driving articles, Driving in traffic, driving role model, driving skills, driving with kids, freeway driving, learning to drive, parking, parking lots, passenger safety, responsible driving, risk taking, safe driving, seatbelts

I often see people drive in such a manner I just have one question to ask; why? Have you ever thought why drivers drive like they do? Instead of us wondering why they drive that way, I think it may be better if they ask themselves that very question. There have been a lot of…

When should you learn to drive?

Posted in cooperative driving, distracted driving, driver risk taking, driver training, driving articles, driving skills, learning to drive, responsible driving, risk taking, safe driving

As a driving instructor with Young Drivers of Canada for almost 22 years now, I’ve taught thousands of people how to drive. I’ve also logged over one million kms on all of my vehicles, both as a driver and instructor combined. Being in the vehicle feels awesome to me; whether it’s driving or instructing. I…

I was recently asked why I write these articles for this site, newspapers, magazines and websites. It really made me think about it, so I took some time to put it all together. I have a passion. My passion has grown to become a large part of why I do what I do. My passion…
