Driving.ca’s Lorraine Explains columnist and host of The Driving Podcast
EXPERIENCE
After beginning her career in writing with The Motherlode column in the Hamilton Spectator in 2003, Lorraine added automotive journalism to her file in 2005. After stints with The Toronto Star and The Globe & Mail, she has been with Driving.ca since 2014. She began hosting The Driving Podcast in 2021, and helmed The Lemon Aid Car Show for seven years. She has been a member of AJAC since 2013.
After years of partaking in adventures like driving Smart cars in the Yukon winter, competing in the Gazelle Rally in Morocco, off-roading in Argentina, RVing around much of Canada, hypermiling across Canada and chasing down Route 66 (twice), Lorraine now writes as a consumer advocate.
She is a prominent voice on radio stations across the country, and her debut novel, A Face in the Window, was released in July 2023.
