  1. Hitting a guy who cut you off is road rage
    Giving him the finger is anger
    Telling him to learn how to read his mirror and understand simple mathematics called geometry is Drive By Education (also my book)

    With forward motion your tires would turn counter clockwise, which is safer. Backing up, turning clockwise, should only be done when necessary.

  5. “Leave sooner, drive slower, live longer”

    Excellent advice – life today is hectic, but that’s no excuse for aggressive or distracted driving. Just because you’re in a hurry doesn’t mean you should speed down the highway at 70mph while you’re texting your buddy that you’re going to be late.

    Two simple solutions to the problems:
    1 – calibrate your watch – punctuality is a virtue!
    2 – get http://zoomsafer.com on your phoneto remove the dangerous temptation to text, email, or browse while driving – it’s your car, not your couch.

    Keep up the good work, SD Elf!

  6. @ Safe Driving Elf, Where do U find all these useful, & true sayings? Or R they actually Ur own? TY 4 Sharing!

    When I saw

    “You never find what you’re not looking for”, I KNEW I needed 2 add a family favorite:

    “U always find what U seek in the LAST place U look!!” (or, in R usual case: in 1 of the 1st places U look, but only 4 the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th time…)!!!

  7. Whatever you are be a good one is Abe Lincoln

  8. Do I remember, “If I hav 2 pull the car over 1 more time…”:

    I M old, so I SHOULD remember this, but I guess I was 2 GOOD, as I don’t…

    I DO hav a friend my age who had her 2 elementary-age kids on a LONNNNNNG road trip: She FINALLY got so disgusted w/ their arguing & hitting each other that she stopped the car, pulled the 1 behind her out of the car, & LEFT him beside the road, & DROVE away… Of course, she quickly turned around 2 let him back in the car, but he was QUIET the remainder of the trip! 2day, she would hav been jailed 4 child abuse…

  9. The most difficult thing is to find a blog with unique and fresh content but you definitely add value. Keep it like this.

  10. When i visit a blog, chances are that I notice that most blogs are amateurish. On the contrary,I have to say that you have done a good job here.

  11. i have visited this cool site a couple of times now and i have to say that i find it quite nice actually. keep the nice work up! 😉

  12. keep up the good work on the site. I appreciate it. Could use some more frequent updates, but i’m sure that you got some better or other things to do like we all have to do unfortunately. =p

    Very cool idea – it’s a great way to get people enanged in a topic that can sometimes be less than exciting. My organization also does something similar using ELVES to give safety tips!: http://www.roadtrafficsigns.com/info/Safe-Road-To-Workshop-Of-Santa.aspx
