When I was a kid, safety was an option. Sure, we had seat belts in the car, but they were conveniently tucked down into the seat. My mom’s arm was our seat belt. And she could knock the wind out of you. My dad used to call her the seat belt. Now he calls her…
I am curious as to how many people really don’t even know about the Move Over Law and what it means. The law went into effect September 1, 2003. Just this week, a Denton, Texas police officer stopped to help a stranded motorist on I-35 and both were nearly hit. The incident is being used…
Do you remember your first car? Sure you do! How could you forget her? It was either a good experience or a bad experience. But, for most of us, either way, it was a life altering experience. I remember my first car like it was yesterday. I also remember the car that I really wanted,…

Got your attention? This blog is not about naked car driving. But it does sound like fun, doesn’t it? Do you want to know what I had for breakfast? Froot Loops and a Dr. Pepper. That’s one great thing about being a grownup. You can do whatever the heck you want and no one can…
H.O.V. is an acronym for the High Occupancy Vehicle lane. In most states, the minimum occupancy of a vehicle to legally drive in the HOV lane is two people. You, the driver (duh), while the second party can be a child in a booster seat or car seat. So, if you don’t have a little one, you…
