Teenagers Arent Wearing Their Seatbelts

In the time honored tradition of teenagers behaving differently when adults aren't around, an NHTSA study has shown that over half of the teenage accident victims that died in night crashes werent wearing their seatbelts.

You have to wonder what the numbers would look like if they had buckled up.

Take the time to tell your teen drivers that they need to wear their seatbelts at all times, and not just when you happen to be looking.

It's that time of year again...

The NHTSA has released it's annual count of traffic accidents, deaths and alcohol related fatalities by space. We always take these numbers seriously, as they basically let us know whether the people of New Jersey are taking their responsibilities seriously when they get behind the wheel.

New Service to Automatically E-mail, Instant Message Safety Recall Information

The NHTSA has a new service where any recall information regarding tires or child safety seats will be e-mailed to you automatically.

If you have small children, it wouldn't be a bad idea to sign up. While the NHTSA does a good job in publicizing recalls, sometimes it just doesn't occur to people to check the website with regularity.
