Most of us have an ongoing 'To Do' list that usually doesn't get done but sees new items added to it on a regular basis. There are some items on mine that date back three years. I thought for today's entry I would offer my readers a 'Not To Do' list to keep in mind when they are driving.
*Do Not drive a vehicle that is experiencing malfunctions of any kind. If vehicle warning lights come on - Do Not ignore them. If tires look low - Do Not keep driving on them. If your engine is knocking Do Not turn up the radio and pretend that you don't hear it. Vehicles that are in need of repair are a safety hazard to everyone on the road - not just you.
*Do Not ignore recognized safe driving behaviors. You know that it's not a good idea to speed or tailgate so Do Not take chances. Do Not drive aggressively or engage another driver in a manner that will cause an incidence of road rage.
*Do Not drink and drive and Do Not take any type of prescription or illegal drug and drive. Also, Do Not text and drive or otherwise motor in a distracted manner.
*Finally, Do Not allow your insurance to lapse or tickets to expire. An uninsured, unlicensed driver costs Americans millions of dollars each year. An annual talk with your insurance agent checking coverage and prices is always a good idea.
