Aggressive drivers are everywhere! You may live next door to one and not even know it. Aggressive drivers come in all shapes and sizes and from walks of life. The guy sitting in the cubical across from you may be an aggressive driver, the problem is; you just don’t know! If you’re confronted by an…
Driver beware, there’s another driver around the corner who is so obsessed about their looks even Narcissus would say “Wow they are really in love with themselves! They should get a room…by themselves.” They think their rearview mirror is a vanity mirror. Every five seconds they check themselves out, while driving 75 miles per hour…
Driving in bad weather is a major cause of accidents around the country, wow, bet you didn’t know that, right?! When it ices over drivers act like it’s the start of the apocalypse. They slam on their brakes on iced over bridges and over passes. “WOOHOO! GET READY FOR THE RIDE!” All you have to…

The 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…
OK, 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…
Now 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. The movie Twister may have glamorized storm chasing, but trust me there is nothing glamorous about being hurled like a Frisbee by an F-4 tornado, not to mention what…
