You can expect a spike in more than yawning following daylight saving time taking effect today.

If you’re planning on driving this holiday season, be extra careful.

Everyone knows that driving drunk is a horrible idea, but that message doesn’t seem to be hitting home when it comes to smoking pot and driving.

Despite smaller, lighter cars being safer than they used to be, bigger and heavier vehicles still offer more protection in crashes.

This winter season, are you worried about the driving habits of other drivers, or the weather affecting your car’s driving characteristics?

Apparently, almost two-thirds of drivers involved in this type of accident were female, and occurred more frequently with drivers over the age of 76 and under the age of 20. But guys, you aren’t off the hook – when looking at all types of crashes, 60 percent of drivers involved are male.
