What to expect from a defensive driving course

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
There can be lots of reasons for people to take a defensive driving course. You may be a new driver, and want some additional help with remaining safe on the roads. You may not have driven for a while and feel as though you need to improve your awareness. In some circumstances, taking a defensive driving course can also help to reduce insurance premiums and have driving tickets expunged.
Whatever your reasons for taking the test, you need to find one in your area. For instance, if you are living a busy life in San Diego, you do not want to have to travel too far. It may be a good idea to check with California DMV, about available tests. You could also search for tests that are available to take online. Here are a few tips on what to expect when you find a course and make a start.

    1. What will you learn

Defensive driving courses are all slightly different from each other, but they cover the same basics. One of the most important things you learn about is the state driving laws. So if you are that driver in San Diego you will get an updated insight into California state driving laws.
Being safe on the road is not all about laws though; you need to take account of human behavior, including your own. Taking a defensive driving course should help you to see the potential problems that being tired or angry can cause. This is important information as most of us recognise the issue with drink and drugs but do not think about others factors that can influence driving ability.
Most people have moments when they do something that is not safe, when it comes to driving, such as not wearing a belt for a short journey, or answering a call on their phone. If you take a defensive driving course, you learn more about the real consequences of your actions. This is a good thing, when it comes to your safety behind the wheel.

    1. Is a defensive driving course really worth it?

If you are taking a defensive driving course due to a driving violation, you have no choice in the matter. But what if the choice is yours? Is it worthwhile taking this type of course? Only you can really answer that question. You need to decide what you want to get from taking the course. The fact is that most drivers can benefit from having more awareness of how their actions impact on road safety an how they can avoid potential incidents caused by others, simply by being observant and driving in the right way. The benefits of a defensive driving course may be even more strongly felt if you are:
  • A new driver.
  • A young driver.
  • A nervous driver.
  • Someone who is driving again after being away from it.

Driving is a big responsibility. You should do all you can to ensure the safety of yourself and others. A defensive driving course provides you with advice and information you need to help you do this.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Packing for your first ski trip

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Pexels - CCO Licence So, you're gearing up for your first ski trip and the excitement is as thick as the snow you're about to conquer. But before you can show off those freshly learned pizza and French fry stops, you’ve got to pack.  Packing for a ski trip can feel like preparing for a chilly expedition to the North Pole, but fear not! With these nifty tips, you'll be ready to hit the slopes in style and comfort. 1. Layer Like a Lasagna Think of your ski outfit as a gourmet lasagna: each layer is crucial. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer (yes, that includes thermal underwear) to keep you dry and snug. Over that, layer a warm and breathable mid-layer—think fleece or a wool sweater that can handle the chill. Top it all off with a waterproof and windproof jacket and pants. Remember, it's all about layers that you can add or peel off because sweating while you ski is less fun than a snowball in the face. 2. Keep Those Fingers Cosy Cold hands can ruin a...
