Driving Scared Isn’t Safe: Canada’s Winter Road Reality

Shane Hewitt and The Nightshift · Dec 16, 2025 · 10m

Hazards on. Creeping at 40. Terrified behind the wheel. Lorraine Sommerfeld calls it like it is: being afraid on the road doesn’t make it safer — it makes it worse.

In this episode, Lorraine joins Shane to talk winter driving realities, including Canada’s move-over laws, what to do (and not do) during a breakdown, and why “I’m scared” lights are a problem — not a solution. She also gets real about the emotional side of prepping for a new car, and why long-term browsing might just be your smartest financial move.
