Legal Use of Cell Phone While Driving in California

DUI Crackdown

How often have you seen someone driving down the road that you were pretty sure was drunk, or at least driving dangerously? Haven't you said to yourself, "I wish a police officer was here to see this and pull this guy over!"

Now, you can be the one on the spot. Now, as you travel California's streets and highways, you can do something to help get drunk drivers off the road.

The Office of Traffic Safety, California Highway Patrol, and local law enforcement want everyone to drive safely and responsibly. Always designate a sober driver, and if you see a drunk driver on the road, call 911. The public can use the emergency number to report and help the CHP identify drunk drivers before it is too late.

A Smile: Better than a Paycheck

On the side, I have an independent contract with Pride Mobility to do their warranty work in Tulare & Fresno County. As a Field Service Technician, I get to meet a lot of people on a tough Life Journey. Today, I was called to perform a maintenance check on a power wheelchair that was purchased used by the client. It didn't come with a power cord, so I sold him a power cord and agreed to service it in his residence when I delivered the power cord. It turned out to be a training session on how to use his first power chair. I went through the owners manual step-by-step and then I took it out to ensure it worked properly before handing it over to him. As he rode around in the parking  lot and tried all the things I suggested to him, he had THE HUGEST SMILE on his face. I was overwhelmed by experiencing such an awesome experience.

As he handed me payment, I thanked him and told him that my real reward was his HUGE SMILE as he rode his new chair.

Some people find freedom from all kinds of "afflictions" - helping people find their smiles keeps me going!!
