National Dog Day

A day set aside for us to recognize and appreciate the dogs in

much love and companionship into our lives.

It's also a day that brings awareness to the homeless

animal shelters around the country.  

Maybe you've been thinking of bringing a dog into

your family; getting that nudge that something is

missing.........and you're right!  

Give an extra special hug to your dog today!

Falling Asleep at the Wheel

Are you getting ready for an end of summer family vacation, 
please stay alert on the road!

Sleep deprivation or fatigue is equal to a .08 alcohol level.  

From 2009 - 2012, there's been an increase in fatal crashes involving large trucks.

The only way to protect yourself is to be overly aware while on the road and

learning a few defensive driving tactics to keep you safe.

 Some things to be on the lookout for:

• Turning with a wide radius.
• Straddling the center of the road or lane marker
• Almost striking an object or other vehicle.
• Weaving or zigzagging across the road.
• Driving on other than a designated roadway.
• Swerving or abruptly turning away from a generally straight course.
• Turning abruptly or illegally.
• Driving slower than 10 mph below speed limit.
• Stopping without cause in a traffic lane.
• Stopping inappropriately (other than in lane).
• Drifting or moving in a straight-line at a slight angle to the roadway.
• Erratic braking.
• Driving into opposing or crossing traffic.
• Signaling that is inconsistent with driving actions.
• Slow response to traffic signals (sudden stop, delayed start).

Be Aware of Road Rage

Road rage is aggressive or angry behavior by a driver of an automobile 

or other road vehicle. Such behavior might include rude gestures, verbal insults, 

deliberately driving in an unsafe or threatening manner, or making threats. 

Road rage can lead to altercations, assaults, and collisions that result in injuries 

and even deaths. It can be thought of as an extreme case of aggressive driving.

      The following are common manifestations of road rage:

• Generally aggressive driving, including sudden acceleration, braking, and close tailgating
• Cutting others off in a lane, or deliberately preventing someone from merging
• Chasing other motorists
• Flashing lights and/or sounding the horn excessively
• Yelling or exhibiting disruptive behavior at roadside establishments
• Driving at high speeds in the median of a highway to terrify drivers in both lanes
• Rude gestures (such as "the finger", or [especially in Greece] giving mountzes)
• Shouting verbal abuses or threats
• Intentionally causing a collision between vehicles
• Hitting other vehicles
• Assaulting other motorists, their passengers, cyclists, or pedestrians
• Exiting the car to attempt to start confrontations, including striking other vehicles with an object
• Threatening to use or using a firearm or other deadly weapon
• Throwing projectiles from a moving vehicle with the intent of damaging other vehicles

BACK OFF

From Aggressive Driver's 

It doesn't matter who is right or wrong, your life matters.

So Back Off and get away from an aggressive driver.

Foggy, Hazy & Yellowed Headlights

How to fix your headlights:  3 different methods

Safety is the real issue.

According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, cloudy or

severely oxidized headlights can be found on nearly seven out of

every ten vehicles over three years old on the road today.  Poor

driving visibility is the leading cause of night time traffic accidents.

Fuel Grade Makes a Difference

A study produced by AAA says

Not All Gasoline Created Equal

Article Here

AAA Recommendations:

- Use gasoline that meets top tier standards

-Use the correct fuel for your vehicle

-Rough idle could indicate the need for better fuel

-Shop around for price

Fact Sheet Here

 I find these studies that AAA offers to be quite

useful and it is true..........we all look for price!  Maybe

it's time to think differently. 

Make it a great day!

When is your tire repairable?

When is your tire repairable?

That's my exact question this morning as I head off to

my local tire shop.

A few months ago I had a tiny nail in my front tire and

another in my back tire.  So I took them in to get patched.

My tires have 23,000 miles on them and there's still some

life left in them.  I've had them balanced and rotated along

the way and I mostly do local driving.  So, I'm trying to

keep my tires.

But when your warning sensor light keeps coming

on and it's making you crazy - well it's time to

take action.

In the last two weeks my back tire keeps losing air - alot

of air.  So I keep filling it up!  But the weird thing is

that the sensor keeps going off for the front tire!

The moral of the story is that if you don't want to end up

with a flat in some isolated location.....take care of your tires.

But of course you can always call us if you find yourself with

an unexpected flat or blowout.

need continual training for their team on how to be safe on the road.
