Driving Tidbits: Useful information drivers may have forgotten

As drivers, we tend to forget the littlest things about driving. You know, the things you had to know before going for your license. Over time, we tend to adjust what is real to what we believe is real. Many times, they aren’t the same thing. With this in mind, here are a few things…




Driving…when life gets in the way
