Thanksgiving weekend is traditionally one of the biggest travel weekends of the year. If you were out on the roads this past weekend, you may have noticed extra law enforcement patrolling the streets and highways looking to keep things safe for everyone. Personally, on my way out of town to see family, I noticed half a dozen Minnesota State Troopers in a few-mile stretch of I-35. Several of these officers had cars pulled over, issuing citations.
June 2, 2011 While just glancing at a text message, you can travel the length of a football field while driving and do it with your eyes completely off the road. It is amazing the danger it presents but texting while driving is still a big problem and a killer, especially of our nations youth.
