Feeling the Effects

December 5, 2008

When I got to begin my work week yesterday, I had no idea I would be drunk by 1 p.m. About half way through my shift, I decided to jump behind a wheel and drive through a residential part of town. I managed to drive through people's lawns, run various stop signs, hit a couple of innocent pedestrians and even strike a poor little dog trying to cross the road. Fortunately my driving escapades were connected with my use of the driving simulator at the DriveWise Driver Education Centre in Chatham.

Lives Can Change in the Blink of an Eye

October 17, 2008

At the rather gentle speed of 50 kilometres an hour, a car will travel 30 metres in just two seconds. In that blink of an eye, lives can be changed forever, as was the case on Sept. 30th 2008 when a 79-year-old woman was struck and killed by a 16-year-old driver who lost control of the car he was driving along Heather Way
