Over 3 Million Tickets Dismissed
I just got back from Houston last night. The short drive during the day between Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston is not bad; you are there before you know it. Yeah, that was on the way over there, I had to drive back to Fort Worth at 12:30 am. The lonely highway of I-45, nothing…
DetailsThe Battle of the Sexes: The famous tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs, the “not so friendly” on-going feud between Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump or any guy vs. any woman on the Dr. Phil Show, which is the superior gender? Now we take that question to the driving test, who’s the…
DetailsOK, this one is going to raise some eyebrows, elderly drivers vs. teenage drivers, who’s the worst? The little old lady who can barely look over the steering wheel wearing those giant sunglasses strong enough for a welder or the pimple face wearing his Hollister Dude gear texting his Betty without even having to look…
DetailsNow that the inclement weather of spring is just around the corner, I thought I would give a couple of reminders about driving in bad weather.

DetailsTexting and driving is becoming a nationwide epidemic. A 2006 study from Liberty Mutual Research Institute for Safety and Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) reports that texting is the number one distraction for teen drivers. OK, no big surprise, right? But how about this, if you text while driving, you might as well drive with…
DetailsSharing the roads with bad drivers is a daily routine we all know too well. What can you do to change all this? Good news, there is something you can do! One time there was a run-down neighborhood in the inner city. Vacant houses and defiled buildings lined the pot-holed streets. A group of artists…
DetailsAs a defensive driving instructor, I hear all kinds of driver pet peeves. One of the most common driving pet peeves has to be tailgating. But when you have a room full of speed demons and traffic outlaws, what do you think is the number one driving-nuisance? Oh course, “slow drivers” or the “really slow drivers”…
DetailsDriving under the influence of fatigue may seem like a harsh term, but it is very accurate. A drowsy driver is just as dangerous as a drunk driver, at any moment they could pass out behind the wheel. In recent years there was little or nothing law enforcement could do about a fatigued driver. Times…
