Keep Your Eyes on the Road - Calls Kill

Calls Kill............some pretty powerful words from the 

National Safety Council.  In 2016, 40,000 people died on the roads.

It's time for everyone to take personal action

and responsibility.

From the National Safety Council, 

the three biggest causes of fatalities on the road are caused by:

1.  Alcohol - 30.8%

2.  Speeding - 30%

3.  Distracted Driving - 26%

We simply cannot multi-task while driving and that includes

hands free talking on the phone.

Start making a difference today on the road.

Take it slow as you go!

The Holidays are Here
People are driving like crazy; going through red lights, taking chances -

putting you and me at risk.  This is a weekly reminder post - 

SLOW DOWN and MOVE OVER.

The 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.

As we approach the holiday season let's all be more aware
on the road.

Let's keep it safe for 

Tow Truck Operators and all first responders

Happy Birthday Mickey!

Mickey Mouse that is!  

This week there's a celebration going on for Mickey!  

He's one of the most recognizable faces in the world,

and he turns 89 years old this month.

Mickey's birthday is November 18, 1928, the date

when "Steamboat Willie" premiered.

Originally creator Walt Disney wanted to name him

Mortimer, but his wife, Lillian, convinced him

that Mickey was a better choice.

Some of Mickey's movements and mannerisms were

said to be inspired by Charlie Chaplin's character

the Tramp.

Disney himself voiced Mickey Mouse from 1929-1946.

During World War II, Mickey's image was used to

advertise war bonds.

Mickey was the first cartoon character to receive a star

on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Just a few fun facts about Mickey Mouse to lighten your

morning!

If you're not having a great start to the day.........and your

car won't start, give us a call for a jump!

Defensive Driving Tactics

Are you getting ready for a winter holiday 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).
