Wet Weather Driving Tips

Seriously.........seems winter will never end, and now as we move into April 

we need to prepare for the usual April rains.  

It's as though we're in the rinse cycle, 

getting all sparkly clean before heading into summer.  

Atleast we have something to look forward to!

Helpful tips from AAA

 Wet Weather Driving

Your odds for a collision in wet weather increase dramatically. Hard rain or snow can limit visibility so you can’t see the edges of the road, traffic signs or other vehicles. Slowing down is the best overall policy for wet weather driving.

See & Be Seen

• Keep your windshield clean, inside and out.
• Keep your wipers clean and in good condition.
• Keep headlights clean.
• Increase the following distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you.
• Don’t drive through deep water on a flooded road.
• Make sure you have adequate, full tread and properly inflated tires which allow water to escape from under the tires.
• Avoid using cruise control. It can be dangerous in wet driving conditions.

Wishing you a great day!

Philly's Ticket To Tow Law

A few months back I did an article on Philly's new ticket to tow law.  

Basically a vehicle needs to be ticketed before it can be legally towed - 

this is causing all kinds of problems!

Four towing companies and six private companies are now trying

to get a judge to intervene and invalidate the law.

Tow companies ask for injunction to stop Philly's new

ticket-to-tow law

click for article 

I didn't know but it seems Philly tried to implement this law in 2010

and it didn't work, caused all kinds of problems and the ticket to

tow law was dropped off the books in 2012.  So why now, why again? 

I really feel for the tow truck companies stuck in this mess.

Hope you make it a great day!

The Myths of Winter Driving

Did you know?

1.  Under inflated tires give better traction - MYTH

2.  Let your car warm up - MYTH

3.  Hit a skid, throw your car into neutral - MYTH

4.  All wheel drive makes you invincible - MYTH

5.  If there's snow on the road, you should drive in the groove of others - MYTH

Amazing, an entire lifetime we're taught one way only to find out

that it's not true!

Be safe on the roads.

Vehicle Starter Disable Device

I had no idea these vehicle starter disable devices have been around

for a few years.  Just this morning I heard something on the news about

them........a mother trying to get her child to the emergency room and her car

wouldn't start, seems (without her knowledge) a vehicle starter disable device

was activated in her car. The loan company, the bank - someone decided that

this woman was too high of a credit risk.  No pay, No starter.

.........and how the heck is this legal?  Really, the hairs are standing up

on my neck.  

 Article from Autoblog

Car Payment or Else:  Engine Cutoff Systems

Personally I would rather the Bank/Car Loan Company NOT give me

a car loan then to have my rights subjected to their whims.  

I wonder if you blindly sign a document stating they can do this if

you don't pay your bill?  If there was a CHOICE, I would choose NO.

Wow is all I can say...........

Stella Left a Mess

This article came out yesterday in regards to Maryland in a State of Emergency. 

There's helpful phone numbers and information you can use.

Maryland Snowstorm 2017

Our crew is out working in this weather, we keep

them in our thoughts as the cleanup and aftermath

of Stella continues today. 

Icy roads will be hard to maneuver, so please

stay home or be careful today while driving.

.......and remember to MOVE OVER for

Stellaaaaaaa!

 Clip from A Streetcar Named Desire

Oh yes, 8 States are screaming Stella at this moment in time!

..........and that little groundhog was so right as we make

our way through the remains of March.  You know, March does

go out like a lion, whipping up storms along it's way.

So, I would call this a snow day across the northeast.......

although, if we can get out then we will, assisting

stranded motorist.

Seriously - DO NOT GO OUT IN THIS BLIZZARD

The snow falling reminds me of snow-cone ice, kind of slushy,

wet and stinging hard when it whips into your face.

 

Be careful out there, help your family and friends if you

have the ability to do so.

Move Over: It's Getting Personal

This post is from March 2015.........have things really changed all that much?

There is a Move Over Law in place in the State of Maryland
and Pennsylvania and across the country as well.
This law states if you see a tow truck driver on the shoulder, 

you must move into an open lane away from the tow truck 

or slow down to a safe speed.

This is the same law protecting first responders; police, 

emergency vehicles and now tow trucks.

It's Getting Personal

One of our workers was called out on a late night
emergency call along the shoulder of a busy highway.
He had a close call when a driver did not move over,
nearly side swiping him and his truck.........too close, as far as we're concerned.

Tow Truck Companies are considered FIRST RESPONDERS and

therefore need to be treated like any other emergency

vehicle and you need to respond appropriately - MOVE OVER.

Let's keep it safe for

Tow Truck Driver: Putting Yourself at Risk

When You Should/Shouldn't Get Involved

A tow truck driver witnessed a hit and run,where a vehicle ran over a pedestrian and

then fled the scene. The tow truck driver followed the vehicle and then called

police.  Hero or Risky business?

The pedestrian that was hit died at the scene.

STORY HERE 

Personally I think we should all get involved if we're sure our

personal safety is not at risk.

It's a judgement call and it's a difficult one.

The family of the pedestrian who died on the road at least have closure

knowing the perpetrator is in custody - and this is due to the

tow truck driver who decided to get involved.

Some days are harder than others.
