Driving Safety Tips for Hurricanes and Tropical Storms Not only can hurricanes and tropical storms do a number on your sweet ride, you must also be prepared to travel.

Texas drivers with autism, deafness, PTSD and other communication challenges are receiving help. Now they will be able to make law enforcement aware ahead of time. For this reason, a new law for drivers with communication issues has been passed to thwart this stressful situation. EASING STRESS DURING TRAFFIC STOPS Communication can be difficult for…
I recently found out that I am allergic to nuts. So I have stopped dating, altogether. I am also allergic to cats. Not the feline, but the musical “CATS.” I’ve seen it once on Broadway and my eyes swelled shut (any musical, for that matter). The real bummer is that I drove to the theatre,…
I know a couple who live near downtown Dallas and their home is near a busy intersection. On weekends, they say there are a lot of car accidents in that intersection late at night. Sometimes when the crashes occur, it jars them from a deep sleep. They wake up, look out the window and sometimes…
Typically when we talk about auto theft, someone leaves the keys in their car and so it begins. We constantly see parking lots peppered with TAKE HIDE LOCK signs, and those of us who have had their vehicles burgled appreciate those signs more than ever.

Some friends were talking about an incident they heard on the news about a woman being carjacked and thrown in the trunk of her own car. How terrifying that would be. And what were they going to do to her when they arrived at their destination? As we all know, they only kind of people…
Flash flood season has started early this year. Even California is seeing a rash of heavy rain and even mud slides. This is both horrifying and quite bizarre since we all know that it never rains in California. There was even a song written about it in 1972 by Albert Hammond. But wait … now…
One of the most dreaded issues that we face as adults is how to tell our aging parents they can no longer drive. Once an elderly person’s independence is taken away, it’s usually a downward spiral. I personally don’t enjoy driving, so this won’t be an issue for me when I reach that point in…
