We live in an age of readily accessible information if we have an internet connection and a bit of curiosity. The Motor Vehicle Act and Regulations are our official rule books. Learn to Drive Smart and Tuning Up For Drivers are the starter guides for those of us who are starting our driving careers. TranBC is a blog that carries driving tips and news from the B.C. Government.
The YouTube channel for Smart Drive Test delivers free driving lessons tailored specifically for B.C. Drivers.
Organizations such as the B.C.A.A. and SafetyDriven promote road safety on their web sites.
DriveSmartBC, Achieving Justice and the B.C. Driving Blog are good resources created by road safety advocates on their own.
As with many other things in our life, we need to take possession of the issue and make sure that we have the proper knowledge and skills to be successful at what we undertake to do. Making mistakes while driving has outcomes that range from damaging our bank account to damaging ourselves, our loved ones or the lives of other road users.
