Winter driving is not as bad as it seems. Sure, there are some ice patches on the road and we all have to deal with those frustrating hills and potholes in the pavement, but once you get used to it you’ll find that driving in the snow just requires a few tweaks here and there. And since we’re about halfway …
You probably don’t dedicate too much thought on the “how tos” of navigating a roundabout. In fact, it likely doesn’t cross your mind until you’re staring one down through your windshield, blinkers flashing and foot hovering the brake pedal. That’s when the panic seems to set in for most Vancouver drivers. And since roundabouts only came to the Lower Mainland …

In other words, it’s an accomplishment to avoid an accident forever. Many people will experience a minor accident at …

In truth, describing an auto collision as an accident is a mistake that can often come with unintended implications and consequences. The term ‘accident’ in reference to …
It would be so nice if a new car could somehow remain damage free forever. There is something special and exciting about a brand new vehicle rolling out straight from the factory—shiny, new and free of any scratches, dings or dents.
Operating a vehicle is a responsibility not to be taken lightly. When you really think about the variables of what can go wrong, it’s a wonder that most people encounter few car accidents in their lives.
