Making more eye contact – as both a driver and pedestrian – makes safer roads.
It’s easy to forget about the human manning the machine, when really, that’s the only thing we should be paying attention to.
How simple was that to make someone happy? A flick of the wrist.

Wrote a column about it.
… “It also serves as a wake up call to what 100 km/h actually feels like. With the technology in today’s cars, it’s easy to become complacent and forget that driving is really piloting a large, fast moving weapon.”
That above line is why I love driving so much.
The footage came out great eh; it was my first time using a GoPro.
Thanks for the duct tape security, Luke.
This is at the Mosport track. Come on, I’ll show you.
Make sure to chew gum when you go; your teeth will try to smash themselves together.
The owner and your host, Mike Salmon of SalmonShifters.com – 0 – 200 km/h in 6 seconds. Welcome to my blog, Mike!
You will be bruised, because there is no suspension, you are the suspension.
My lower left back was blue. I’d have posted a photo, but there wasn’t time, because I heal like Wolverine :|
The engine is a 6-speed Honda 125cc.
Only place I know of in Ontario where you can do this.
If ever the opportunity arises for you to go karting, shifter kart or not, say yes – you’ll emerge a better driver.

Those plastic, flimsy things emblazoned with a dealership’s name… they have to go.
… the worst offenders seem to be exotic car owners. Play a game today: spot an exotic withOUT one.
Looks sloppy and unfinished.

Tada! It’s called “Keri on Driving.”
300,000 printed, and that’s the circulation number, not the readership :D
It was a rush, seeing my name and words I’d written all printed down the page.
Click to read it on the 24 Hours site; they have a clear PDF you can zoom in on, page 18.
I’m proud of my first one, I like it. Thanks for the emails from you guys saying so too, and nice to meet you!
I was beside myself all day. 30 seconds after my eyes opened, I was out the door to the closest orange box. I ripped out that one and carried it around with me all day in my purse. It’s still in there.
My hand position here belies the butterflies in my stomach.
Now the trick is to keep it going, quality every week, learning to write well under that under-the-gun-all-eyes-on feeling.
I tried to give myself a head start. I’ve kept a list in my phone of car article ideas forever, I have 40. This was me last weekend organizing them. Next week we’ll talk about pedestrians, and something else.
Of course I blurred out the printing, otherwise you too would have good car article ideas.
I tried to collect copies all day, went looking on a walk last night, I ended with up only three. The Sun circulates.
I’ll link up my articles here on KeriBlog every time, and pumped to be a part of the team, Sun Newspaper!
