Over 3 Million Tickets Dismissed
Summer Construction Zones North America is getting a new facelift, thats why we have all these summer construction zones. I hope it doesn’t end up looking like Joan Rivers…what a freak! It seems like they are doing construction on all of the freeways in every state. If your vacation time means taking a road trip,…
Pulling Your Trailer Whenever I think of the word “trailer,” it reminds me of my “roots.” The address on my birth certificate is nothing more than “trailer park.” My mother constantly reminds me of that to keep me grounded. My father was a welder and we traveled with the pipeline. It must have been stressful…
Take care of yourself this fourth of July with all of your holiday travel, drinking and driving and fatigued driving. Make sure someone doesn’t roofie your beer or lace your bottle rocket with Scopolamine where you find a zombie version of yourself, willfully surrendering your belongings to a drug lord. Or, better yet, find yourself…
Teen Drivers On The Road No more pencils, no more books and no more teacher’s dirty looks. As Alice Cooper put it…School’s Out For Summer! That means there will be more teen drivers on the road. Good for them, but bad for the rest of us. Inexperience is one of the leading factors in teen…
Vehicle Maintenance / AC Tuning Ah, vehicle maintenance, you got to love it! When do you know that your car’s air conditioning is not functioning properly?

Buying A New Car My first car was far from new. And now that I am a parent myself, I realize that my parents were brilliant and insightful for buying me that $60 (yes, I said it…sixty dollar) hideous, gold, four-door Delta 88 Oldsmobile as my first experimental set of wheels. If they had…
I always thought that I would be an awesome mountain climber. Because I am not afraid of heights…but I am terrified of widths. In the past, when I would tour from the Pacific Northwest, all the way down through Colorado, it was good to know a few tips while mountain driving. I had a small…
Learn how to pass a car with Comedy Defensive Driving. Drivers Education 101 says, when driving in traffic and passing other vehicles, always do so on the left…unless you’re in England, in which case you probably would be taking a cab home anyway, or the Tube since you’ve drunk yourself silly. And don’t forget to…
Nighttime Driving When the sun goes down, the potential for bad things to happen increases. According to my mother, “Nothing good happens after dark.” I think she was lecturing me when she said that. But traffic deaths are three times greater at night than during the daytime, according to the National Safety Council. In addition,…
