If you are charged with an offense involving a motor vehicle or
a motorcycle, you may be eligible to have your citation dismissed
by successfully completing a driver safety course or a motorcycle

notice of your request to take the course, you will lose the
privilege.
You will not be able to take a defense driving course if you are
currently taking another course or have completed a course within
12 months of your offense date. If you...

Megan Barnes was driving while doing what?!?!
No, the 37-year-old woman wasn't on her cellphone. She wasn't
texting, either. The Florida Highway Patrol says Ms. Barnes
was driving while shaving - there's more - driving while shaving
her, uh, "bikini area." Well, that's what the cops call
it.
It might not surprise you to learn that during Barnes' ride on the
razor's edge, she allegedly crashed into the backup of a pickup
truck in Cudjoe Key, Fla, according to
CBS
affiliate WFOR. Then, she and...

Walking could be the most important mode
of transportation. As the weather cools we will see more
people outside enjoying the break from the sweltering heat of
summer past. The willingness of drivers to give way to pedestrians
is very low. 3% of all the people injured in traffic crashes are
pedestrians. We, as drivers, can all take part in reducing
pedestrian injuries and fatalities by giving the pedestrian the
right of way.
There are several tips for drivers. Pedestrians have the

I recently read an article about an undercover sting operation
which took place in Florida and I must say, I was somewhat
shocked. Apparently, there is a real problem in Volusia
County Florida when it comes to drivers passing school buses,
enough of one, the Volusia County Sheriff's Department
initiated a "special traffic enforcement" to catch people passing
school buses?
It is illegal to pass a stopped school bus, this is
something everyone should know!
In Florida, the statute is 316.172 and...

The economy is great, everyone is happy, there is no need for extra
efforts on part of cities, states and the country to collect money
right? Well, apparently you have not been around for
the last three years, because the economy is downright terrible and
there are some states and cities getting
creative. Houston, Texas is no
exception.
The City of Houston has had to make substantial cuts in personnel
