      My almost 6 year old's head got stuck in the window of my 2008 F150 today. We pulled into a parking spot, he got out of the booster seat, leaned out the back driver's side window and push down on the window up button. I think it stopped when I turned the truck off. When I got out and saw him being strangled by the window I thought it would be better to break the glass quickly instead of getting back into the truck turning the truck on and lowering the window. Fortunately, no significant injury was sustained.

      Does Hyundai have to alert the PUBLIC through its website and social media about 2013 Sonata recall or is it just required by law to communicate privately? Thanks.

      Has an legislation been put in motion concerning "Smoking and Driving?" It doesn't seem like a safe idea to have a burning object in a moving vehicle. Plus I think it would get rid of a lot of littering on roadways

    Our sister agency didn't mince any fotos in this video showing actual highway scenes and videos of tractor trailers and cars! Check it out and remember to drive safely.
    Why do we do what we do?
    The vast majority of carriers and drivers operate safely.
    Our job is to identify those that don’t.
    This video reminds us of the risk of not putting safety first.
