The Battle of the Sexes: The famous tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs, the “not so friendly” ongoing 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, old drivers vs. young 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.
