When it comes to Fourth of July drunk driving last year, more than 1,400 Texans were arrested for DWI. That's a lot of drivers and a lot of arrests. As Domingo Ramirez, Jr. writes for the Star-Telegram, the Texas Department of Public Safety will be out "in force" again this July 4 holiday, looking for impaired drivers. Perhaps DPS will beat last year's number of arrests - don't help them. But if you do find yourself pulled over, remember that what you do during the traffic stop and what you do at the police station will have an impact on your case. In other ...

Over the past decade, many states have instituted limitations on the extent that drivers can use their cellphones and mobile devices while driving. Some states, like New York and California, have strict laws that prohibit hand-held cellphone use and texting by all drivers. Other states, including Texas, have little or no restrictions on cellphone use while driving. A look at car crash statistics for these states may indicate that stricter laws targeting distracted driving may help save lives. Cellphone Bans: A Look at New York and California New York and California ...

Summer's here and on the highways it can mean only one thing: Orange barrels and road construction. While it may mean more delays and detours for drivers, it also means greater risk for construction zone workers. Construction zones are inherently dangerous; roads are often in partially completed situations, with some lanes open, some closed, various grades and surface conditions. Frequently there are abrupt lane changes, with opposing traffic lanes within inches of each other. Additionally, you have very large, very heavy construction equipment moving about, sometimes ...

In late April, the United States Senate voted to renew an embattled federal law, the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). The House of Representatives followed suit about a month later, passing their own version of a renewed VAWA. The proposed changes offered by Senate Democrats and House Republicans are the first proffered major revisions to the law since its enactment in 1994. What is the VAWA? The VAWA was first passed in 1994 amid concerns that existing state laws did not offer adequate protection to victims of domestic violence, particularly when that violence ...

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has shut down 26 curbside bus companies on the East Coast, citing multiple safety violations and in some cases, evasion of safety regulations and unscrupulous operating practices. Curbside bus companies offer cheap fares for passengers traveling through the Northeast Corridor. Rather than collect and deposit passengers at a bus terminal, these companies pick up and drop off passengers at the curb. They keep costs low by paying their drivers low wages, maintaining low overhead and failing to take appropriate safety ...

In 2009, the VA notified more than 10,000 veterans that they may have been exposed to hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV while undergoing colonoscopies at Veterans Affairs facilities.

The others were treated at clinics in Augusta, Georgia and Miami, Florida. To date, at least 90 veterans have tested positive for one of the three viruses. Unfortunately, a recent ruling in ...

Its statutory mandate states: "Safety as Highest Priority...the [FMCSA] shall consider the assignment and maintenance of safety as the highest priority." Congress has instructed them to devise ...

This article will discuss what that report found, and what results say about fatal car accidents and other accident deaths in New Mexico.

The first issue to be aware of is that it is not possible to stay on a former spouse's insurance once the divorce is finalized, if such coverage is provided through ...

Every Florida driver is required to carry personal injury protection insurance.

Some commentators blamed the price hike on unscrupulous medical providers who tried to get the maximum $10,000 benefit out of every patient. Others attributed the price increases to the insurance companies' own profit motives. Regardless of the reasons, Florida lawmakers ...

While witness testimony in the Jerry Sandusky trial and the ongoing developments in the Catholic Church sex abuse scandal highlight the tragic consequences sexual abuse in childhood can have on adult victims, these cases also emphasize that justice can still be served years after abuse occurs.

How the Statute of Limitations for Civil Suits Works Section 52-577d of the Connecticut State Statutes ...

Axles and Truck Suspensions: Two Maintenance Concerns A truck's suspension and axles are vital pieces of its anatomy. Either may compromise safety if not in good ...

Chris Christie, Governor of New Jersey, purposed during his State of the State speech a change in the way drug offenders are punished.

He also admitted that current drug policies, and implicitly, the war on drugs have failed. Treatment Is Less Expensive Than Prison Governor Christie pointed out that, ...
