driving

As a kid growing up in Missouri, I learned fast to understand the difference between my parents asking me to do something or them telling me to do something. That lesson is coming in handy as I can tell that Missouri wants me to stop unnecessarily idling my car engine - or else.

I understand the science, but I'm not sure many in Missouri are ready for this concept to become reality. Should a 4th traffic light color be added to the traditional scheme? I predict the reason why will anger many.

If you've ever wanted to see a bear close up, you should see video that was shared by a driver in Wright County, Missouri who realized that just outside their window, a curious bear was staring right at them.

If you're a truck driver, you know that you face the dangers of the road. But, you also know that when and where you stop can be vital to your health also. That's why a new list showing truck stops across America that drivers say are 'too dangerous' is a must-read and 3 of those stops are indeed in Illinois.

As the historic total solar eclipse in April draws closer, Illinois has issued urgent travel warnings for those who plan to witness the totality of the sun through the southern part of the state.

The fact that the state of Missouri is warning about this means it's happened before. That alone should scare you. Yes, there is officially something bizarre that people in Missouri will be fined for soon if they're caught wearing them while driving.

You're a good person and a good citizen if you see one of the many deer that appear near Missouri roadways and try to warn others, but is it legal to use your headlights as a means of communication? The answer is more complicated than you might think.

It's been awhile (fortunately) since I've driven through this Missouri city, but I can testify that something the internet has declared is likely very true. Missouri suddenly has one of the top 5 worst driving cities in America.

I have likely driven past this innocent-looking Missouri intersection not knowing that it's statistically one of the most dangerous in America.

There are rules of the road and there are also some unspoken understandings of things you do to help other drivers you encounter on a Missouri roadway. One controversial means of communicating is by use of headlights and there are good reasons why you want to slow down immediately when someone flashes their lights at you 3 times.
