j0386393.jpgThe world might be in a hurry, but you don’t have to be. Try these tips:

  • Allow for plenty of time to get where you’re going, then add no less than 10 extra minutes.
  • Always plan your driving time with the slowest scenario in mind: catching every red light, running into traffic, getting caught behind an extremely slow driver, etc.
  • Don’t be afraid to revise your time estimates.
  • If you feel yourself getting in a hurry, stop!
  • Call whomever you are going to meet and let them know it’s going to take a little bit more time.
  • If you are habitually late and in a hurry, try setting your watch and other clocks ahead by 10 minutes. You'd be surprised: for some people, this works!
Do you have teenaged drivers or older drivers that you are concerned about?  The internet is full of information that address these and other driving issues, such as driving on wet roads, driving while tired, dealing with aggressive drivers, and how to read the newspaper while driving  (hint – the answer is DON’T!)
