- Changing Lanes - How To Go From Road Rage To Safer Driving In Sixty Seconds Flat
Road rage has become a big part of our driving world. These days, it seems to be more common than a pine tree air freshener hanging from a rear view mirror. This is unfortunate as road rage just compounds danger: with the threat of accidents, driving is dangerous enough, but road rage takes it to a new level. Fortunately, road rage is preventable, keeping a level head may be the only thing that you need to do to keep road rage out of your life and out of your car. - Defensive Driving - Getting Behind The Wheel With Caution
Defensive driving is a key component to driving safely. While you don't want to be so defensive that you fail to be offensive, and become one of the poor drivers you fear, defensive driving and offensive driving go hand in hand. The best offense is a good defense, even when automobile safety is concerned. - The Present Day Presidential Limousine
Sometimes I wonder how US Presidents used to get around. Before the invention of the limousine, the private jet, or even the car, what exactly set the President's mode of transportation apart from the mode of the regular citizen? Did George Washington and John Adams ride on a fully armored horse, complete, of course, with tinted windows? Did Thomas Jefferson and James Madison ride in a carriage as secret service agents ran beside, ready to receive any urgent telegrams warning them of trouble up ahead? However, the Presidents used to get from place to place, the present Presidents travel in one major mode: a Presidential Limousine. - The History of the Presidential Limousine
The Presidential Limousine may seem like a recent invention, something that came about within the past few Presidential terms. This, however, is a misconception. Officially, the first President to ride in what has become known as the Presidential Limousine was Woodrow Wilson. Taking the streets during a parade celebrating the US victory in World War I, he was honoring the end of the war and, unknowingly, starting the beginning of a transportation tradition.
