DRIVING TIPS TO PUT YOU IN CHARGE.

Do you know that you can be totally safe on the road?

Do you know it's all in your hands?

The tips on this website can take your driving to that level, if you apply them. You will learn to avoid accidents and reduce your driving costs.

Becoming a safe driver can actually be fun and very satisfying, especially when getting all those compliments from your passengers. You'll also have to get used to being asked to drive a lot of the time.

I tested these driving tips over 30 years as a full-time Professional Driver in my home town of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The ones that worked for me added together to make me the driver that I am today.

I'll show you how to make good driving habits become part of who you are when you're driving, without having to think about them all the time.

Over the years I have come to the conclusion that when I operate out there in the world with an expectation of safety, that's what I get.

This is in contrast to how I understood this in my 20's. Back then I believed that nothing would happen to me so I could do anything. So I did some crazy things that really pushed my limits.

Not so anymore. I still believe that I will be totally safe. What is different now is that I align my actions with my expectations. I know what my limits are and no longer need to test them. I drive well within my limits in what I have come to call, 'The Safety Zone'.

The most important driving tip I can give you is:

Always drive according to weather, road and traffic conditions.

I have tried to relate everything from driving to maintenance into this idea that I am in charge of my overall safety.

Benefit from my 30 years of full-time driving experience. Boost your confidence. Be ready for anything on the road.
