When I first got my license three years ago, gas prices were beginning to rise. I never got to enjoy buying gas for a dollar or hardly two dollars. At those prices I would have traveled the world. But that is a day long gone, but we may experience it again. . . for awhile. Read More »

I don’t drive. It’s not that there’s something wrong with me, I just don’t. I went on vacation the summer when I could have first taken Driver’s Training, so I was unable to… I came back and just didn’t have the desire to. I joke about wishing that I had my license, yeah, but I don’t really want it. Read More »

I saw a bumper sticker that said, “If you’re not outraged then you’re not paying attention.” I could not agree more, especially as it relates to driving a motor vehicle. A 30-minute cruise down any major highway (and certainly no less on interior roads) is bursting at the seams with instances of legal infractions. Everywhere you look, people are breaking traffic laws. Read More »
Flipping Over Cars and Living to Tell the Tale
By genie71 - Posted on March 25th, 2008
I have totaled two cars. Two big cars. I've rolled both of them over, both from the same stupid mistake of over-correction. If I had been driving cars that were lower to the ground, the vehicle probably would not have flipped over...but that's besides the point. Read More »

One reaches a certain age and a certain amount of your life is spent driving. As such, purchasing gas in an unavoidable ritual. I've been driving for over 20 years now. Over the past five years I've kept track of gas prices, mileage. I've purchased gas (87 octane) largely from the same two stations. Read More »

A new law came out about not being able to use your cell phones and driving; this is especially pointed towards texting and driving. I think that it should be a personal option and this law should be abolished. There are a few reasons: Read More »
Illinois Driving Curfew
By chasewiggs - Posted on March 10th, 2008
My mom is on the post-prom committee at my school. They weren't sure how the curfew law would affect post-prom since the law says that anyone under 18 cannot be driving after 10pm on weekdays and 11pm on weekends. So they took their inquiry to the school officer. He wasn't exactly sure, because the law was only put into effect on January 1st. Read More »
