Pet Peeve: Leave space between you and the vehicle in front of you when you come to a stop.
We all have pet peeves. I have one I would like to share with you. My Honda S2000 is a 6 speed manual transmission. I have been driving manual transmissions for longer than I care to remember. This morning while driving into work I was stopped at a traffic light on an incline. A big pickup truck pulled up behind me so close I could only see a grill in my rearview mirror. No matter how experienced a driver is when you accelerate from a stop on a hill with a manual transmission the vehicle will roll backwards. Once I actually got out of my car and asked the person behind me to back up so I would not roll backwards into their car. They were less than 12 inches off my rear bumper.
Be courteous - leave plenty of space between you and the vehicle in front of you. Otherwise, you might end up with a vehicle in your front bumper. |

Safety Tips for Young Drivers (and veteran drivers too)
Most teens know using a mobile phone while driving is a bad idea, but nearly 60 percent of high school seniors admitted in a recent CDC study that they text while driving. Texting while driving increases the chance of crashing by 23 times and car accidents are the leading cause of death for teens. Distracted driving has risen to an epidemic level and teens are at the most risk.
When young drivers choose to text and drive, they are essentially putting their life at risk and the lives of other motorists on the road. According to Distraction.gov, driving while using a cell phone reduces the amount of brain activity associated with driving by 37 percent - that's a big percentage.

Want to Avoid Texting and Driving? There's an App For That!
PhoneGuard - blocks keypad
DriveSafe.ly - reads messages aloud
Text Toggle - does not alert you when you get a text
DriveScribe - driving coach and motivates teens to drive safely with social competition and rewards.
Alex Brown lost her life when she was texting and driving. The Brown Family have a foundation - Remember Alex Brown -to educate teens about texting and driving. The family has visited more than 350 schools across 22 different states bringing their message. Visit their website www.rabfoundation.org and sign the pledge to not text and drive. I did. Will you share this information with your family? |

Manufacturer Recalls
Honda is recalling more than 321,000 cars and SUVs because the doors may not close. The recall affects 314,000 2012 Honda CRV and 7,300 2013 Acura ILX small luxury vehicle. Honda says that if the inside driver or passenger door handles are used at the same time as the power or manual door locks, the inner door latch may not work. This means a door may not latch, or it could latch and open when the locks are used.
Toyota is recalling 154,036 2010 model year Lexus RX350 and Lexus RX450H models manufactured from November 28, 2009 to September 1, 2010.

Dealers will modify the accelerator pedal and replace the driver's side floor mat.
