I am occasionally asked about the practice of left foot braking. The usual justification given for this is that the brakes may be applied more quickly because the left foot is ready while the right foot is busy with the accelerator pedal. While there are different schools of thought on whether this is appropriate for highway driving it may not be a good idea for the average driver.
BEEF To the city for all the bollards everywhere making sure we drive ‘in the lines.’ How is it that these make our streets safer? Would this not delay an emergency vehicle?
Question: 
I have friends who sold a car and months later they received information that the car was in an impound lot. The purchaser had failed to register the car in his name and since the car was still registered to them they were legally liable for the bill. What does one do when the buyer fails to transfer ownership of the vehicle?
My question regards the right of way of pedestrians who are in the roadway illegally, i.e. they have disobeyed a control signal or have failed to yield to traffic as per section 180. The thought came to me after watching a YouTube clip from the United Kingdom, intended to illustrate proper horn use.
Question: I just came back from a trip I thought I would see what you have to say about an issue that bothers me about how the police do their job. One can not drive very far without encountering one of what I call the crazies. The driver who drives like a fool, way too fast for either weather or road conditions, passing when its not safe and generally putting everyone in his or her path at risk.
Question: Our daughter failed her road test due to not reducing her speed to 30 km/h as she drove through a playground zone. We don't understand this because there were no signs were present.
Long winter nights mean we spend more time driving while using our headlights. All headlights are not created equal according to the IIHS, so some vehicles are safer to drive at night than others.
Heading out to collect some firewood for the winter this weekend? Fall was always a good time to watch for pickup trucks with pyramids of firewood in the back on our highways. When checked they were often illegal, and unsafe, in three ways: unsecured load, overweight and a danger to vehicle occupants if the pickup was involved in a collision.
When a crash occurs on multiple lane highways in B.C., drivers tend to stop in the same lane position that they use when driving. This often creates significant difficulties for emergency services, large fire department vehicles in particular, because there is no rescue lane for them to drive to the scene in.
As is often the case, today's article comes from what I see around me as I drive. I was passed by a cube van with one white floodlight on the right rear illuminated. The driver of a truck tractor with no trailer pulled in front of him using the right lane and flashed his docking and backup lights a few times. The offending driver didn't get the hint and his backup floodlight remained on.
