WCVB has posted a new page on their web site, Jeff and Cindy’s Traffic School.

http://www.thebostonchannel.com/traffic/13359264/detail.html

“Traffic School” is our effort to get people to think about their driving and, hopefully, to improve their skills.

If you’re from Boston, chances are your skills need improvement.

Our formal driver’s education ends when we get our driver’s license. For most of us that’s when we’re just teenagers. I’m 44 years old. That means I haven’t had a refresher course in 28 years. I’ve developed bad habits. I make bad decisions. I put myself into positions that are less than ideal. I need to be a better driver, especially with a young son who is in the back seat most of the time.

“Traffic School” is our ham-handed way to improve the driving skills of Boston drivers.

Bad drivers will not read this. If you’ve read this far, then you’re probably a good, or at least a conscientious driver. But you’re not perfect – nobody is.

We'll try to update the page with a new article once or twice a week. If you have thoughts about subject matter, please feel free to drop me an e-mail: jlarson@smartroute.com
