In the US alone, over 37,000 people die in road crashes every year. And nearly 2 and a half million Americans are injured or disabled in car accidents annually.

no comments Over the past 10 years in the United States there’s been about 1300 deaths of young people or students from violations of school bus laws. Likewise in North Carolina over the past 12 months there have been 12 deaths and 47 serious injuries from drivers violating school bus passing laws. So it’s a serious topic and it’s something that we all need a reminder on.

no comments So, basically I think there’s three parts of bicycle safety. One is following the rules of the road. We uncover each of these three, but one is following the rules of the road. Second is being visible and third is being a good ambassador.

no comments If you go into an insurance agent and say, “I need insurance coverage and just give me full coverage and I’m fine,” full coverage is a complete misnomer. It means nothing. So you don’t know what you’re going to get when you say give me “full coverage.”

no comments The way workers’ compensation works is basically what happens is you get paid 2/3 your average weekly wage, up to the statutory maximum, for the time period that you’re out for what’s called total disability. And then you’re also entitled to compensation for any permanent disability that you have beyond that point in time.

no comments The first point that I like to emphasize to people is, Social Security Disability is an insurance policy. On your paycheck stub you have the FICA line. Part of that is an insurance premium that gets paid into the government for their disability system. This isn’t a give away. It’s not a handout.

no comments What the research shows is that if you develop poor eating habits when you’re young, that carries through for the rest of your life.

no comments Hydration is very important not just when you’re active in doing fitness type things, but it’s essential for our life. The basic guidelines and recommendations, if you look them up, are you take your weight, so for me I’m a little under 170 pounds, divide it in half, that’s 85. You should drink 85 ounces of water a day. That’s a basic rule of thumb.
