Move Over For Emergency Vehicles


A Message from AAA


Governor O'Malley has expanded the State of Maryland's
Move Over laws to now include Tow Truck Operators.

This law went into effect October 1, 2014 and
comes with a hefty fine of $500 if not adhered to.

The law states if you see a tow truck driver on the shoulder, 
you must move into an open lane away from the tow truck 
or slow down to a safe speed.

This is the same law protecting first responders; police, 
emergency vehicles and now tow trucks.

Let's keep it safe for 
Tow Truck Operators

Truth in Advertising

..........well I took a chance, that maybe just once there was some truth
in a commercial that I've been seeing lately from AARP Auto insurance program.

As in "we will lower your auto insurance payments by $400/month"..........

The real catch for me and what prompted me to go to their website and
spend 8 minutes completing the application was the renew- ability clause
they offered.  This is perhaps the only reason I've stayed with my current 
insurance company State Farm - they can never cancel my policy due to
an accident, not that I ever have accidents.

To make a long story short...... the AARP insurance would
cost me $720 more per year than what I currently pay State Farm and
for less coverage............
(well, I suppose if one person saves $400 then there is some truth in advertising)

So, now AARP has all my personal information and
I can already feel the onslaught of emails that will be
arriving in my in-box.  But hey, I truly believed that maybe
this one time there would be truth in advertising. NOT!

So while I was fiddling with my State Farm policy
I realized that I had towing coverage and I am
covered for a rental car too!  Well that takes the edge off!

I know that if I were stranded, my main priority would be
to get a tow truck to my location as soon as possible.  I
wouldn't necessarily be thinking about whether or not my insurance
covered this situation.  So maybe it's a good time to take
a look at your policy too!

We offer 24/7 emergency roadside assistance
in the Harford, Cecil and York County area.

Niagara Falls is Frozen

Niagara Falls is frozen........and so is every other body of water along
the east coast.  Lakes, ponds and even some rivers.  The Hudson River
has solid slabs of ice floating on its surface requiring a tug boat to go out
ahead of the Staten Island Ferry, parting the ice chunks so the ferry can make 
it across the river from Manhattan to Staten Island.

The death toll from this bitter winter stands at 20.

As the snow melts, what lies below is black ice making the roads 
even that much more perilous. 

Although we wish we could turn over and stay in-doors, daily
life seems to go on.  Commuters rushing to and from work,
getting children off to school and the usual daily
activities.

Winter's wrath has taken its toll..........and we're weary from it all.

Put the cell phones away and truly be alert on the roads for
your safety and the safety of those around you.  Be
hyper vigilant on the road, it's almost too easy to
find yourself in an ice skid.  Take the extra time to
drive a little slower than usual.

If you're in the Harford, Cecil or York County area
and find yourself having car trouble or skid off the road
we offer 24/7 emergency road service.

Daytona 500 Qualifying


 
For the first time ever Daytona 500 Qualifying,
which traditionally features single-car qualifying, has switched to the group
qualifying format to set the front row positions.

....and therein lies the problem, especially for
car #15, Clint Bowyer.  Within minutes of his
qualifying round, a bad multi car wreck
destroyed several cars including #15.

Our race recovery team was assigned #15. We're sharing some pictures
here from FOXNews.



From all reports Clint Bowyer is not a happy camper of the
new NASCAR qualifying rules,  he stated the intensive work that most 
drivers put into their cars up to six months before a race, only to be destroyed
during qualifying....."idiotic" were Clint's exact words!

Winter Driving Myths

Did you know?

1.  Under inflated tires give better traction - MYTH

2.  Let your car warm up - MYTH

3.  Hit a skid, throw your car into neutral - MYTH

4.  All wheel drive makes you invincible - MYTH

5.  If there's snow on the road, you should drive in the groove of others - MYTH

Amazing, an entire lifetime we're taught one way only to find out
that it's not true!

Vince Lombardi Super Bowl Tropy

The coveted trophy goes to............the Patriots!

Famous words of Vince Lombardi, coach of the Green Bay Packers back in the '70's,
"Winning isn't everything; it's the only thing."

These words were used to inspire his players to
gridiron glory.  Along with his winning record, Lombardi was known
for his passion for the sport and demand for excellence.

Initially called the World Professional Football Championship Trophy, 
in honor of Lombardi the trophy has since been called the
Vince Lombardi Super Bowl Trophy.

The handmade sterling silver trophy features a regulation
size football set on a three-sided stand.  It stands 22 inches tall,
weighs 7 pounds and is engraved with the NFL logo,
game date and location, team names and games final score.
A new trophy is created each year, so the champions can keep it for display.

This year the trophy goes to the 
New England Patriots
28-24

Just a little bit of football trivia
