I wonder if Santa texts while driving in his one horse open sleigh. You know…while he’s dashing through the snow, over hills he goes, laughing all the way. Why is he laughing, is he drunk? Or, perhaps he’s just jolly…a jolly drunk. Why else would he be off roading? Driving too fast for the weather…
DetailsBefore I started driving, the first hazard on the road that I experienced was when my drunk dad skid on a patch of black ice and wrecked our mini bike. I think that would be a great t.v. show “My Drunk Dad.” I’d watch it, for one. Heck, I’d even d.v.r. it. And I know all of…
DetailsI feel sorry for those poor bicyclists that are just trying to get a little cardio workout so they can possibly live longer. When, in reality, just riding a bike on the street could lead to their demise. I hear people complain “Why don’t they ride on the sidewalk?” I live in Dallas, and what…
DetailsMen always give women drivers a bad rap. Our driving is a form of entertainment for most guys out there. There are countless jokes and stories about women drivers.

DetailsMotor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for U.S. teen drivers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

DetailsWho’s the better driver…men or women? I learned a long time ago, that question only ends in divorce. Since the invention of the automobile, this has been an ongoing argument. I’m not “siding” with either sex, but I do recall the Father’s Day card I sent my dad this year. It said “Dad’s…Proudly Refusing To…
DetailsI’ll never forget that one horrible thing that gave me nightmares when I was a teenager. It was that scary drivers education film showing the freight train hitting the motor vehicle. That image affected me for years. And, if I were classless and immature, I would tell you that because of that film I wet…
DetailsWhenever you see an emergency vehicle on the side of the road with its lights flashing, you must move over and put an empty lane between you and them for their safety. If you can’t move over or perhaps you’re traveling on a two lane road, you must slow down 20 miles under the posted…
DetailsI always thought of a pedestrian as a carless (and possibly homeless) person. One part of me feeling sorry for them (and their aching feet), while the other part of me feeling envious of them. Envious of the money they save by NOT paying for gasoline, NOT making a car payment, NOT paying for insurance…
DetailsMy Grandfather was a truck driver. Casey Graham was ornery, Irish-American and a big drinker. Which wouldn’t go over well the current commercial driver license requirements . Back in those days, in wasn’t uncommon to see a truck driver traveling two days with no sleep. Or, in my Grandfather Casey’s case, with a hangover to…
