A recent house panel vote advanced legislation that would make it against the law to hold a cell phone while driving in the state of Minnesota. The vote came after four years of unsuccessful attempts with similar bills.

If passed, Minnesota would become the 17th state (with the District of Columbia), to enact this measure. Currently Minnesota law allows drivers to hold a phone in their hands while driving, if they are speaking on the phone.

Closing Loopholes

Texting and driving is illegal in the state. but the general nature of the law makes it difficult to enforce. It's a difficulty for officers...

Accidents with industrial heavy duty commercial vehicles are dangerous and expensive.

I’ve written about my own personal experience with the dangers of drowsy driving before. It is a dangerous epidemic that cannot be ignored. After analyzing dashboard videos from 700 accidents, the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found that 9.5% of all crashes involved drowsy driving, based on the portion of time the operators' eyes were closed in the minutes before a crash. This statistic grows to nearly 11% in severe crashes.

My parents bought a new (to them) car last November. My mom was very pumped about the included backup and side camera.

"It has grid lines when you back up! The cameras change when I use my turn signal!" She happily exclaimed after she brought it home. When I came back to Kansas for Christmas, she proudly showed me how everything worked.

Many new vehicles now come standard with backup and/or side cameras. It makes sense. Laws are changing, and the new generation are learning to drive with cameras. The question remains, how can I make my parents even safer? After hearing all about my mom's backup...

According to recent data from the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics, 5,190 fatal work injuries occurred in 2016. This is a 7% increase from 2015. This is the third year in a row this number has increased.

At 40% (2,083) of the fatalities, transportation accidents remained the most common cause of work deaths. Violence committed by people or animals and On-the-job overdoses from non-medical use of drugs or alcohol are also high on the list.

Airbags are advanced enough to protect a passenger at nearly every possible angle of a crash. Hyundai and parts supplier company Hyundia Mobis are pioneering a new kind of airbag, for panoramic sunroofs.

Panoramic Sunroof Airbag

According to a video released by the company the system prevented the passenger from being flung out of the car and cushioned the impact on the head. Serious injury likely to result in the death of the passenger were reduced to minor injuries. The airbag inflates in 0.08 seconds and will go off even if the sunroof is closed. Watch the video below.
