Were you caught RIDIN DIRTY? Yeah, we’ve all heard the rap song. Although I can’t tell you exactly what it means, I’m assuming it concerns breaking the law. Maybe driving drunk or under the influence of drugs. Or possibly just speeding like a wild teenager. This seems to be the most common traffic violation […]
Last year around Christmas time I asked my youngest brother what he wanted for Christmas. He’s hard to buy for and most of the things he really wants are out of my price range. He told me that he could us a water proof flashlight. Though I thought that was a nifty idea, I […]
If I said to you that I practiced defensive driving all of the time, I would be lying. I do most of the time and I find that if I don’t, I can get extremely aggravated with myself and everyone else on the road. If I were to take an aggressive stance on driving […]
