The parking lot practice is one of the best ways to start teaching how to drive. Erin's father took her to a parking lot, taught her what to do and showed her too. That's the way to teach.
This video was uploaded the day after Christmas, so Erin still has a very long way until her license. By the way it looks now, she will be just fine.
Good luck!

Bad Driver? Back to School
Florida drivers beware - starting this year (started already), drivers who are charged with in-fault crashes in a three year period will go back to driving school until they pass a state approved course and a drivng test.
Yes, a new driving test. Apparently, if someone causes three crashes, he or she is not eligible to be on the road. People go on the roads for years without a single crash, so three crashes in three years is definitely outside the statistic probabilty.
Hopefully this move will take the bad drivers off the roads. Until they pass again.

Don't Drive Carelessly in Ontario
In Ontario, one of the most serious driving offences is careless driving. The definition of this crime is very clear, and it can be easily understood from the name. Amy Nutt wrote about this crime and what you can do when it happens to you.
Careless Driving Law in Ontario
In Ontario, careless driving laws involve strict and serious enforcement. Although a common offence, careless driving infractions can have serious consequences if a driver is convicted of a particular offence. It is important to be aware of the ramifications if you are convicted of a careless driving violation.
Careless Driving as outlined in the Highway Traffic Act (HTA) states:
"130. Every person is guilty of the offence of driving carelessly who drives a vehicle or street car on a highway without due care and attention or without reasonable consideration for other persons using the highway and on conviction is liable to a fine of not less than $200 and not more than $1,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than six months, or to both, and in addition his or her license or permit may be suspended for a period of not more than two years. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 130."
Penalties in Ontario can include "6 Demerit Points, fine not less than $200 and not more than $1000, imprisonment for a period of not more than 6 months. The Driver's license may also be suspended for a period of up to 2 years." If a driver accrues 15 demerit points, the driver's license will be suspended.
The types of careless driving charges that a driver can receive are careless driving without a fine and careless driving with a fine.
1. Driving with a fine printed on the ticket will result in 6 demerit points applied to a driver's license and a minimum fine of $325. If you receive this fine, you have the option to plead guilty, plead guilty with a reason, or plead not guilty. Six demerit points will be applied to a driver's record when pleading guilty. This will result in an increase in auto insurance premiums. One could end up paying hundreds of dollars or even thousands of dollars a year because the insurance company will consider them a high risk driver. The company may also cancel the driver's insurance policy, even if a driver has just one offence. Insurance companies have access to your driving record for the past three years, as well as the past six years for claims.
2. A ticket without a fine attached is a summons to go to court to answer to the charges. Convictions can result in fines of up to $1000.00, jail time of up to 6 months, or a suspension of a driver's license of up to two years.
It is a serious matter when one is convicted of a careless driving offence. It can raise your insurance costs, result in a driver's license suspension, and even result in jail time. It is important to be aware of the consequences before you drive. If you do receive a ticket, you should consult with an expert in traffic violations so that you will know what your best options are to resolve the problem. A professional such as an attorney will be able to let you know if you should fight the charge. To avoid dealing with a careless driving charge, practice safe and careful driving techniques.
This type of driving offence is one of the most serious charges under the Highway Traffic Act of Ontario. Make sure you take great care when you are on the road.

Full Car, No Lights
2010 just started, and I already made a great discovery. When the car is full, steering and accelerating become harder. Much harder.
Well, it's not like I didn't know that. I've driven full cars in the past, but I just found out how hard it is to drive a full car at night, in a new road I've never driven on. The car doesn't react like I want it, and I'm used to have at most one more person with me. It wasn't so pleasant.
Eventually I arrived at my house, but it's an experience I don't want to repeat soon.
