Driving

I was having a fine morning. I had just dropped my kids off to school, stopped at the bank, picked up a few things from the store and was heading back home to start searching news for the show. Nice sunny morning with a slight breeze and dry, colorful leaves piled up on the grassy median. When what to my wondering eyes should appear but a smoldering cigarette butt drawing ever so near.

I imagine statistics are still hard to come by involving car accidents where use of a cell phone was the cause. Most drivers wouldn't admit fault to a cop especially now that the fines for illegal cell phone use while driving have doubled. So if an officer can't outright prove it, it's hard to know the real numbers.

A couple of weeks ago, we were talking about bad parking on the air.

A judge has raised the bail of a northern New Jersey woman accused of causing a deadly crash while texting.

As we celebrate Teen Driver Safety Week, Garden State moms and dads are being urged to be authoritative role models when it comes to operating a motor vehicle.

All in good fun ladies. Don't get mad. I found this on YouTube today and it reminded of a recent topic of conversation that came up on the show.

If adults aren't going to do the right thing when they're riding in a car with a kid they should be fined.

A new study from Australia finds children in a moving vehicle can be 12 times more distracting to a driver than cell phone talking.

I'm leasing a car right now for only two years. I have 15,000 miles allotted per year, which means at the end I should have only put 30,000 miles on her. Before this I always owned my cars and drove them into the ground.

Sun glare can be a major hazard and a threat to safety this time of year.
