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

We’ve grown up listening to warnings. Our parents warned us of what was dangerous to us and many products have warning labels on them. It’s helpful to have these warnings, provided you notice the warnings. The same can be said about driving. We have so many warning signs on our daily commute, but do you…

Logic, common sense, practicality, judgement, reasoning… these words to me describes what a driver needs to make good choices behind the wheel. For the most part, drivers tend to have most of these…most of the time. How often do you use good logic while driving compared to lack of common sense? Think about it, the…

Exiting the freeway also takes skill

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

Watching traffic is my passion, my job and my hobby. It’s tough to turn it off when I’m not working as a driving instructor for Young Drivers of Canada. Do I need a therapist because I watch traffic in my spare time or should I just “roll with it”? I’m perfectly happy with my situation…

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

Things we’ve grown up with; playing with our friends in the park, riding a bike, going to school and… looking both ways before crossing the street.

We’ve all experienced slower traffic flow during construction zones and we’ve needed to make adjustments in our route plans and how we drove through this area. Are there things that we may take for granted while driving through a construction zone that may cause us…
