When was the last time checked any of the sensors before climbing behind the wheel and relying on them?

Funeral Procession Etiquette

Jan 22 2014

It’s not a hearse, it’s a “funeral coach.”

Read it online at Autonet.ca.

Favourite line:

Try this trick; imagine how the person in the casket would give anything to trade places with you, and be the one stuck in traffic. 

Two favourites this week.

It’s in your best interest to give the procession a wide berth, because this is a line of distracted drivers.

Really though, be kind to a passing funeral.  

I received a bunch of emails this week – when you honk and get angry at a procession, it can haunt someone for 20 years.

Thanks for taking the time Bruce, of Humphrey Funeral Home.

Driving in a Roundabout

Jan 8 2014

If you feel nervous: don’t be shy to put on your hazard lights and let the other drivers know you’re new to this.

Just remember…

The 1 Rule of a Roundabout:
never brake inside one

Read it online at Autonet.ca

Favourite line:

Remember there are hundreds of thousands of roundabouts being used in Europe right now, some 4 lanes wide, and there’s no way they’re all better drivers than you – you got this.

Turns out roundabouts are a touchy topic, 73 comments, not bad.

Below is a video of me driving inside a roundabout.

I’m driving a GMC 2500 HD Denali in the States. There’s a video over at Motoring TV.

Tips on Arriving in a Hired Car

Dec 18 2013

There’s several things to consider when hiring a car during this holiday season.

  • limos are try-too-hard
  • don’t cram in passengers, it creates a clown car effect upon arrival
  • complete all monetary transactions before arriving
  • tip the attendant who opens the door – $2 is average, a $5 bill is classy

Read it online at Autonet.

Favourite line:

Be mindful of your outfit when exiting, as it easily drags across the door jams covered in winter sludge. Do this, and now you’re walking into the party covered in the mark of amateur hour.

Sharing some Driving Tricks, Part 1

Sep 25 2013

Sharing some of my favourite driving tricks with you. Like, that little arrow beside the gas tank on the fuel gauge tells you which side the tank is on.

Read it online at Autonet.ca

Favourite line:

“My hazard button invention – using it to maintain a protective bubble of space 360º around you”.

Also, the blue circle – “it’s hard to get annoyed with someone smiling at you”.  Ha, just a little social engineering there.

See how I ended with an invitation to contact me?  It worked well, so many great emails; I’m going to do this topic again.
