With the number of drivers going up every year, that means the number of car accidents is also going up.

I also know that most people, especially younger people like to live a little more on the edge. Today, I am going to go over why it is important to wear your seat belt.

What to Do if Your Car Stalls on the Freeway
I think I wrote before that I recently bought a new car. My old car was a 2003 Mazda Protege with a little over 160,000 miles on her. Her name was Pearl. Now, I know it seems I am getting sentimental, because I am. I drove Pearl into the ground before I decided to purchase a brand new car. and what I mean by that is, I drove her until she literally could not be driven any longer. She broke down on the way to work, on the way home from work, to the gym, you name it. So, I know that feeling when your car all of a sudden stope working on the freeway and it becomes a hassle for everyone involved. and yesterday morning on my way to work, a car broke down in the third lane of traffic on the 5 freeway going southbound.
