Driveway spotlights safe driving In Friday’s News
Object may explode when it nears sun Christopher Sun News staff
A 3,000-kilometre-wide comet will be visible to the naked eye starting Friday, but you will have to be up early to see it. The Comet Ison will be most visible 30 minutes before dawn, from Nov. 15 to Dec. 25. It will reach maximum brightness Nov. 28, when it comes closest to the sun’s surface – about 1,165,000 km. While NASA is sometimes concerned about potential collisions of comets with Earth, amateur astronomer Bill Smith said Ison is expected to come no closer to us than 64 million km, on Dec. 26.

With more than a decade under her belt working as an auto journalist, Driveway columnist Alexandra Straub knows a thing or two about being on the road. In this Friday’s edition (Nov. 15) of Driveway, she writes about the importance of training yourself to be a safer driver. “Poor driving habits – not shoulder checking, not using your signals, driving in the left lane when you’re not passing – are minor details in the grand scheme of things, but have a large impact,” she says. “It’s never too late to refresh the basics and then pick up a few new good habits.” Also this week, Zack Spencer test drives the 2014 Cadillac GTS while Bob McHugh looks at the benefits of buying used, specifically the 2010-2012 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedans. Driveway is the weekly automotive section that runs in Black Press community newspapers in B.C. editor@oakbaynews.com
