Many years ago my best friend missed ONE stop sign, visited the very edge of death, and lost 6 years of life, living in rehabilitation and learning to walk and talk again. As kids growing up, we did not learn to hunt for ALL FOUR STOP SIGN in an intersection. We also did not realize […]
I drove right beside a playground on my test with a playground sign and I kept my speed at 30 km/h and failed! WHY? I saw a playground sign! I saw a school crossing sign! I saw a pedestrian crossing sign. I thought it was 30! OK. The exam is not a thought exam. It […]

But under stress, while driving, like on an exam, these core beliefs may kick in and overrule what your eyes […]
“Turning right here! It is a better route to work,” states my co-worker. Yes, every passenger has a differing opinion on how best to travel.
