Driver Safety Education Blog

Sometimes a person just doesn't care about the other driver in front or back when parallel parking. Here is a photo of a interesting situation for the white MPV. Notice the white vehicle left enough space to get out, if a driver, such as the one behind it, should do as shown in the photo.

So, leave enough space to get out when you want to, instead of cussing because you can't leave when you want to leave. The situation above was, vehicles parked all day with the vehicles that get there earlier being closer to the building. So, the vehicle in front of the white one was there earlier and the one behind it later and squeezing in to try and beat fire hydrant spacing.

Not nice.

Drive safe...

Sometimes our new young drivers are in a head space not conducive to safe driving. It may be that they are thinking about something that happened that day, or perhaps what they are going to do later. In any event, it is good to do a driver check before heading out. Ask the driver if they are ready and a gentle reminder about paying attention doesn't hurt either. That usually get them back to the reality of driving.

So instead of looking but not seeing, they should be ready to see their drivers environment again. "Say it out Loud" is good to get their attention back too.

Drive safe...
