My husband and I are moving from texas to iowa in a few weeks. We are trying to decide between my husband driving the uhaul and me the car, or towing the car behind the uhaul. We towed a uhaul trailer behind our jeep last time we moved, but that is the extent of our experience towing things. Our car is new and I do not really want to put the extra miles on it, but we are inexperienced with both driving a uhaul and towing a trailer. Anyone with experience doing this have advise for us?

Is there a time limit that the Safety Camera Partnershp have to adhere to between the offence and issuing the paperwork? Basically, someone told me they have 14 days to issue the ticket otherwise it's not valid - is this true?

I've been wondering: Should I engage my vehicle's 4-wheel drive when I'm driving in a rainstorm or on wet roads? Or is that just a waste of gas?

Driving along yesterday down a hill about 27 mph when a dog runs out in front of car, we brake immediately and the dog runs off. We stop to find broken bonnet and spotlights about £500 - £800 pounds worth of damage. Called the police and spoke to the dog owner who slams door in our face. Dog was not on a lead the owner won't pay the damage, we could go through insurance but don't see why we should. Has anyone got any advice or how to deal with this situation.?

It's come to that time of year again when anyone who has front fogs feels that they need to have these permanently on when they've got their headlights on... WHY? It's so annoying and it can be blinding when you've got two sets of light beaming into your review mirror at the same time.

If there's anyone out there who does this, please have a heart and turn them off until it's foggy. Just because you've got them doesn't mean you have to use them all the time!

I faint at the sight of blood, should I stay and try to help, or do I just call 911 and wait for help? I couldn't live with myself if I just sat there while someone bled to death, but I'm physically unable to help. I saw a little fender bender today and it made me wonder.

I know this sounds funny but it is so true. I don't necessarily think it is the fear of driving but maybe driving to places far (heavy traffic areas or places that I never been) becuase I can drive around town as long as I know where I am going. Other than that, I have an intense fear of driving to places I have never been even if they are real close. My boyfriend has to take me to a lot of places and I hate that because I think his driving is making it worse. Im basically fearing for my life and praying to GOD for my safety instead of paying attention to the roads. He does like 80-100 mph on the freeway, swerves in and out of traffic, and tailgates anybody in front of him. I tell him to stop but he acts like everythings fine. Anyways, people are always asking me to come over but I'm too scared to go anywhere even with the directions.

The bus went to the side, and I guess it went over," she said. "When it was falling ... I was just glad when it hit the ground."

It struck the ground nose-first, about 30 feet below the I-565 overpass.

Two teenage girls died in the wreckage; a third died later at a hospital.

"They were falling on each other. People were screaming, yelling, crying," said Jefferson, 16, who suffered fractures to her left arm and cuts and bruises to her face.

More than 30 Lee High School students and the bus driver were taken to Huntsville Hospital, which became a hectic trauma center Monday with emergency physicians and staff called in to help as ambulances brought in the severely injured.

Five people, including the bus driver, had undergone surgery, a hospital spokeswoman said.

Police said the bus, taking students to classes at a downtown tech center, swerved on the overpass, plowed through a concrete barrier and plunged to the street below.

Police Chief Rex Reynolds said an orange Toyota Celica driven by another Lee High student apparently came close to or struck the bus, causing it to swerve. He declined to say whether charges would be filed.

Students on the bus, which was not equipped with seat belts, were screaming when rescue workers arrived. "They were thrown all over the bus," said Huntsville Fire Chief Dusty Underwood.

Some had to be extracted from the crumpled front of the bus, he said.


School Bus Safety




The police chief identified the high school students who died at the scene as Christina Collier, 18, and Nicole Ford, 17. A third, Tanesha Hill, 17, died at the hospital from her injuries, Huntsville Hospital CEO David Spillers said.

Some parents were called to the scene by wailing children on cell phones. Many were angered that police held them back or had no information. At the hospital, some collapsed in tears amid more confusion.

Hospital officials said the horror of the wreck was compounded by the inability of hospital staff to identify some of the more severely injured students who were unable to talk and had no identification on them.

The police chief said the driver and a passenger in the Celica went to a hospital following the crash, but he was not aware if they were treated for injuries. He said the driver was interviewed by police.

The bus driver was in critical condition, said Brooke Thorington, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Education.

"This is a heartbreaking tragedy," said Gov. Bob Riley in a statement in Montgomery.

The National Transportation Safety Board, which was to investigate the wreck, has said that school buses are designed to protect occupants without the use of seat belts. A new design uses strong, well-padded, high-backed seats, closely spaced together, the NTSB has said.

However, NTSB board member Debbie Hersman said at a news conference Monday night that the board last week added school bus safety to its list of most wanted transportation safety improvements. She said the board is recommending that new standards be devised to improve safety when buses are involved in rollover crashes.

Why doesn't anyone think of putting seats that are the same size as in a car....with seatbelts....to keep our kids safe? I do believe kids would wear the seatbelts out of habit. I know that's the first thing my kids do when they get in the car. They have seen the news about the bus crashes and also believe there should be seatbelts.
