Key 2 Safe Driving Turns Off Your Phone While You Drive
Text messaging or talking on your cell phone while driving is a nasty habit, dangerous and illegal. It's hard to break habits sometimes though, but you don't have to rely on willpower alone.
The service Key 2 Safe Driving stops you from even being able to talk or text while driving.
Mom Kicks Bickering Kids Out of Car
Backseat bickering bugs just about every mother, but when a Manhattan lawyer had enough of her quarreling daughters, she kicked them out of the car and drove off. Madlyn Primoff, 45, dropped her tweens in a shopping district three miles from their home on Sunday night and has since pleaded not guilty to child endangerment.
One report said: Police would not say if Primoff ever returned to look for the girls, but they said, without explaining how, that the 12-year-old eventually caught up with the mother.
Endangerment Charge For Mom Who Breastfed While Driving
One Dayton mom brought multitasking to an entirely different level. Genine Compton was issued a ticket after the driver of another vehicle called police to report that Compton was breastfeeding her one-year-old daughter and talking on her cell phone while driving. While the mother of five doesn't deny the charges, she doesn't believe she should have been issued a citation for something the officer didn't see.
Six-Year-Old Gives Himself License to Drive
You miss your bus so you hop in the car. Not a big deal...except if you are six! A Virginia boy put the pedal to the metal in his family's Ford Taurus after he missed his ride on Monday.
Do You Put the Pedal to the Metal So Baby Can Sleep?
Some parents hop in the car with their tired tots and cruise around to lull them to sleep. While I've never done that I do take the long way to the mall or lap the parking lot an extra time or two if I see my son's eyelids falling. That way he can comfortably take a snooze in the stroller while I run errands.
Dear Poll: Do You Get Lost Easily?
A sense of direction really comes in handy when you’re trying to navigate anywhere new. But unfortunately, not all of us have a natural knack for knowing where we are or getting where we’re going — some people have a propensity to always get lost, even with directions! There’s nothing like being stuck in the car for an hour circling the same streets to ruin a person’s mood.
iDialUDrive App Helps You Stay Handsfree
With California's Hands Free Law in full effect, I'm always looking for creative ways to help me stay handsfree so I can keep my eyes on the road. Even those two or three seconds you spend navigating your way to your contacts list to dial a number are a few seconds too long to spend looking down.
Well a new handy app called iDialUDrive works as a simple way to automatically dial your contacts — without using your hands!
Relationship Protocol: Sharing the Road
Relationships are all about sharing, from feelings to responsibilities. But some things are not as easily shared as others, like driving. I’ve found that many individuals in relationships consider themselves a better driver than their counterpart so much so that they either demand to be the driver or won’t allow their significant other to drive their car.
Dear Poll: Do You Experience Road Rage?
Though I try to walk or use public transportation as much as possible, San Francisco is not New York, and life demands that I hop in the car and face the open road every now and again. The problem is, driving in traffic or dealing with aggressive drivers really gets my blood boiling, and before I know it I’m mumbling obscenities under my breath. While music can help calm my nerves, like many people out there, I do suffer from a mild case of road rage.
Dude Punks the DMV
Most novice drivers are a nervous mess before buckling in and taking the dreaded driving exam, but not this punk. He was busy installing hidden cameras into the dashboard. A new California cell-phone law will prohibit driving and mobile talking come July — so over-the-phone convos are technically still legal.
