Road Rage & Rudeness – Do Manners Matter? Of course they matter!! Without common decency and common sense (okay, maybe they’re not quite as common as we’d like) our society would dissolve into pure anarchy. Seem too strong for you? Well, what if manners disappeared off the road as well as on it? Think for a moment about just how much of our society is ruled by manners. The law calls [...]

Drop It And Drive on CKNW AM 980 Starting up a new campaign can be challenging. The inspiration and drive to launch a new idea is definitely the easy part.

I’m deeply thankful that the people I’ve spoken with so far have been so re [...]

Distracted Driving Prevention: Education & Advocacy

We deliver reality-based, interactive multi-speaker presentations throughout Canada about the dangers and consequences of distracted driving.

There are three forms of distraction: cognitive (mental); manual & visual, including texting, talking on hand-held devices, in-car passengers, adjusting music settings, eating, personal grooming, dressing/undressing, reading & allowing pets to travel on laps. All these activities contribute to taking eyes off the road and attention away from the demanding task of driving.

D.I.A.D.’s dynamic presentation is unlike anything else in Canada, delivering a powerful message with a combination of knowledge, personal experience, energy and humour.

D.I.A.D. Drop It And Drive works in partnership with the Surrey Fire Service; Young Drivers of Canada; the Surrey RCMP and with the support of Klein Lyons to deliver high energy, interactive talks.

Contact us to find out more information or to book a presentation at your school, college, university, community group, organization or corporation. Our elementary & high school presentations are 'NO FEE!' & fee-based sessions directly support those school presentations.
