Cars are a huge part of everyone’s daily life. Most people have their own vehicle which helps them run errands, get the kids to school, and get them to work. Without a vehicle, getting around can quickly become a challenge. Instead of a person being able to run errands on their own schedule, they may need to follow the schedule of public transportation.

Despite all of the advantages of owning a car, some people don’t treat their vehicles very well. They don’t take care of the car, and when it inevitably breaks down, they abandon the vehicle. Often times, the vehicle is left in a less than desirable spot. The abandoned vehicle can get in the way of other people and quickly become an eyesore. This cause many people to question what kind of laws there are surrounding the abandonment

With summer in full swing, people from all over the state of California, and the rest of the country, are busy enjoying their summer vacation. While this is fun for a lot of people, the trips can be a bit taxing. Nobody likes to be stuck in a car for extended periods of time. Doing that can make just about anyone cranky. If this affects the driver, it can easily lead to a bit of road rage.

Pretty much every driver out there assumes they are better than everyone else at driving. Their feelings often get “proven” when another driver makes a bad decision. This can lead to road rage, which if not kept in check, can quickly spiral out of control. One Alabama woman recently learned this fact the hard way.

In the modern world, the internet is constantly coming up with new trends. Some are harmless, some, like the ice bucket challenge, help promote a good cause, and then others are just dumb and dangerous. Some examples of these dumb internet challenges include:

• The Tide Pod Challenge, which involved eating a Tide laundry detergent packet.
• The Boiling Water Challenge. There were two versions of this, drink boiling water, or throw boiling water on an unsuspecting person.
• Sunburn Tattoos, which involves getting creative with how a person gets a sunburn.

These sunburn tattoos aren’t new to the world. For a long time, people have, either on purpose or as a prank, given or received a sunburn in a specific shape...

While people all over the country were celebrating the Fourth of July, Southern California got quite a shocking surprise. A magnitude 6.4 earthquake centered near Ridgecrest, California struck around 10:35 am. People from as far away as Orange County and Las Vegas felt the shaking from the quake. The area remained seismically active for the rest of the day, with another 5.4 quake striking the area around 4:07 am.

This quake was followed by a larger one, 7.1 magnitude, on July 5th.

This was all an important reminder for Californians that larger earthquakes can and will happen here. This drew the usual concern about how people should prepare for earthquakes. Some tips that we have gathered in the past on how to do this can be found here. This also drew some concern as people in Los Angele...

Sometimes, it can be fun to go out and explore new areas. A person never knows what they may stumble upon while exploring the unknown. However, a person needs to be careful. They don’t want to wander onto someone else’s property. That would be trespassing, and can get the person into some legal trouble if they are not careful.

Pretty much everyone has heard about the crime of trespassing, but some people may wonder what constitutes trespassing. Luckily, the state of California has a specific law that defines what counts as trespassing within the state. However, there are several different instances that can count as trespassing. Some of the instances are what people might expect, and others are oddly specific and weird.

Most people would agree that getting into a vehicle accident would be horrible. After all, car collisions can be catastrophic and even fatal. However, despite the fact that no one wants to get into an accident, there are some people out there who participate in risky behavior that increases the chances of an accident occurring.

One of the easiest instances to avoid, yet is still one of the most common, is drunk driving. Driving while intoxicated, or high on marijuana and other drugs, is a terrible idea. When a person is under the influence of drugs or alcohol, not only are they less in control of their bodies, their thinking is impaired as well. This can lead to risky behavior that can easily cause an accident. That is why driving under the influence is illegal everywhere in the countr...

June is quickly racing by, bringing us closer and closer to one of the biggest and most important holidays of the year for the nation. There is no denying that the fourth of july is a huge deal to everyone living in America. After all, the holiday celebrates the country’s founding. The Fourth of July is the United States of America’s birthday, and every citizen wants to celebrate it.

Celebrations vary depending on the location, but they all tend to revolve around a few select practices. For instance, most people through barbecues, small towns love to host parades, and people love to set off fireworks once the skies get dark enough. While all of these things are a part of the usual celebrations for the holiday, one of them can be very dangerous.

Fireworks are a big part of the Fourt...

Parenting is not an easy task, but at least school is there to take the kids away for a few hours each day. That helps. However, summer is now here and the kids are free from school for the season. It can be tough for parents to figure out how to keep their kids busy and entertained over the summer.

Nowadays, many kids are easily entertained with a video game of some sort. Luckily, there are plenty of games to choose from to keep the kiddies entertained. However, a parent needs to make sure that the game their kid is playing is appropriate for them. Some parents don’t realize that there is a way to determine what is in a game without having to play it.

As the weather warms up, people begin to venture outside more and more. At least until it becomes too hot, then people tend to hide out indoors. Everyone likes warm weather because it allows them to go outside. However, if things warms up too much, people would rather avoid the heat.

Still, some people don’t mind the heat, and will continue with their outdoor activities regardless of the temperatures. Some of these people will even take their dogs with them. After all, dogs love to go on adventures too, especially if their human is involved. However, taking a dog out for a walk, or even a game of fetch, in this heat can be dangerous for the furry creature.

How Do Dogs Cool Off?

It is obvious to see that dogs and humans are not the same. We are two very different creatures...

Summer has arrived here in California. For some, this means it’s time to go out and enjoy summer activities at a beach or pool. For others, it means it is time to avoid going outside as much as possible. Whichever group a person might be a part of, they are still going to find themselves driving from time to time. For some of those instances, they may decide to bring their dog with them.

While bringing a dog can make a boring trip to the grocery store more fun, bringing the pooch along in hot weather can be dangerous to their health. Every year, far too many dogs are injured or killed because their owner left them unattended in a vehicle on a hot, or even warm, day. If a person wants to avoid such a tragedy with their own dog, they need to be careful.
