Keep man's best friend safe, doggone it!
It's not rocket science: you would never go on a road trip knowing your child can't be securely buckled up. So why do so many of us pack up our cars and zip down the freeway without a second thought about our four-legged friends? Many dogs weigh the same as a small child, yet the overwhelming majority of pet owners travel with their pooch unrestrained. Invest in a harness or other device to secure that precious cargo.

If you're convinced there's nothing else to learn about driving, check this out.
Chances are you probably consider yourself to be a pretty
safe driver. After all, it’s something
you do practically every day, right?
Between commuting to and from work, picking up the kids from school, and
running errands, you’d have to be a
skilled motorist. We certainly hope so! But it never hurts to brush up on your know-how.
Tip of the day: Keep your distance.
THINK IN THREES! You should stay...
3 seconds behind the vehicle in front of you for
speeds of 35 – 55 MPH in fair weather,
6 seconds for more than 55 MPH or in
rain, and
9 seconds for heavy snowstorms or low visibility.
Tell us how YOU stay safe on the road! Join the conversation on our Facebook page.

Who is the most annoying driver in your life? Survey says...
Maybe you’ve got a newly-licensed teen learning how to
drive. Maybe it’s that carpool buddy of
yours with the lead foot. Hey, maybe
it’s even your sweet old mother-in-law that only comes to visit twice a
year.
One thing is for sure: nobody is
as skilled a driver as you! At least
that’s how it seems, right? As it turns
out, YOU could be the annoying one! A
recent survey by Insure.Com revealed WHO is really the most annoying driver in
the house.
Who is the most annoying driver? Here are the findings:
- My spouse: 36 percent
- A friend: 22 percent
- My mother: 16 percent
- My father: 9 percent
- Other: 8 percent
- My teen son: 5 percent
- My teen daughter: 4 percent
So, who really grinds your gears? Join the conversation on Twitter and
Facebook—we want to know what you think.

Spring Break DOs and DONTs: Return to your home the way you left it
If you’re anything
like us, you have had it with this brutal winter. You probably can’t wait to load up the car
and head for a warmer destination, right?
Whether you’re lucky enough to have a spring break or you’re just
planning a little getaway to a sunny spot, remember that safety is key.
If you want to return to a house that looks exactly the way you left it, follow these tips:
- Put automatic timer on lights. You might even want to leave a radio on (preferably a talk radio show) so it sounds like there is someone in your house.
- Make a record of the serial numbers for your valuable items and take the list with you, store it in your safe deposit box or send the information to your personal email account.
- Make sure your friends and relatives know where you will be vacationing. Call friends or family members to let them know that you have arrived and returned safely.
- DO NOT hide your house keys in a mailbox, under a doormat or planter or anywhere outside.
- If you are leaving a vehicle at home, DO NOT leave your garage door opener in your vehicle.
- DO NOT advertise your plans to strangers or on social media outlets.
