Even in the days leading up to Oct 31^st, children will be out trick-or-treating. Peak trick-or-treating time is 5:30pm-9pm, so it is especially dangerous this year as Halloween...

Early
autumn 2001 in Topeka, KS. I’m standing in the driveway. The first day of high
school carpool. My best friend Dale lives a few miles down the road, his sister’s
friend Cecilia is going to drive us and his sister Stephanie to and from school
each day. My house, Dale/Stephanie’s house, and Topeka High were all on the
same road. The Midwest, right? Cecilia always opts to double back down 10^th
to take I-70 instead of 10^th all the way to school.  “Less traffic, no lights, I can drive a lot
faster,” she explains. Looking back, I think the difference was minuscule, it
was a 15-minute drive total...

Can you feel it in the air? Something has changed...October is Fall Care Car Month! It's important to give your car a little extra attention before winter sets in.

Auto Care

Here are some tips from The Car Care Council.

Product Of The Month

You can buy just about anything online in this modern era. While purchasing food, furniture, and even pet snacks online is commonplace, buying a car with a smartphone while binge-watching Netflix still isn't the norm.

Companies such as Carvana sell cars completely online. Buyers research the car through their app and never have to leave the couch. Once purchased, the car can be delivered, or "bought" through a larger than life vending machine.

While this is good marketing, people are just not into it. According to a study of 2,000...

I grew up the Midwest. Topeka, KS is very much a car culture. Wanamaker Road, our main drag, is lined with drive-thrus: pharmacy drive-thrus, dry cleaning drive-thrus, and liquor drive-thrus.

Kansans need to drive several hours with parents prior to getting a driver’s license. Most of my parent practice hours consisted of zipping down 10^th street to pick up dry cleaning or an Arby’s roast beef ‘n’ cheddar with curly fries. During my college years I would often roll up to Scooters coffee for a quick drive-thru latte on the way to class and made many a late-night run to the Little Caesars drive-thru...

New York City's first autonomous shuttle service opened this week.
For this young man, it was quite a momentous occasion.

I've been reading about autonomous vehicles for years. There's been testing in many places around the country including California, Arizona, and Boston, but nothing in New York. I wanted to experience this for myself. In fact, I've been chomping at the bit to give it a try. Was I was going to wake up at 5 AM and give it a shot before work? Absolutely.

I live in New Jersey, so it took me nearly two hours to arrive at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Is it ironic I took a 2 hour trip that...

Warm weather is here and you're ready to get your RV on the road. Here are some safety tips to keep in mind before heading out on a road trip.

RV Safety Tips

1) Get Plenty Of Rest!

It’s important to get plenty of sleep before going on an RV trip. Only bad things will happen when you are tired behind the wheel. Pull over and get some rest. According to the National Sleep Foundation’s 2005Sleep in Americapoll, 60% of adult drivers (168 million people) have driven a vehicle while feeling drowsy in the past year, and more than one-third, (37% or 103 million people), have actually fallen asleep at the...

U.S Representatives Julia Brownley (D-Calif.) and Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.) recently introduced the Stop For School Buses Act. The bill directs the U.S Department of Transportation to conduct a review of existing laws and programs for all 50 states, recommend best practices, review driver education materials, and create a nationwide public safety campaign.

Stop For School Buses Act

Under the bill, the U.S. DOT would:

• Review existing public safety measures and programs to prevent illegal passing of school buses.
•  Compile illegal passing laws in all states, including levels of enforcement and...
