That’s my philosophy

Not only that, but I believe it’s also stated in the handbook for commercial driver’s license

I would think it should be common sense for all drivers . . .

Car related OOH OOH, the dangers of dhmo, a component of antifreeze, washer fluid, vision issues while driving, loss of vehicle control, even a tablespoon can kill, here is the msds sds in the works I guess,

I got some new labels for ghs warnings, going to print them up tomorrow!

Good ones troubleshooter. Driving back today I was sure to keep the proper end of the coffee cup up, and checked all signs to see if they were under water.

Motorcycle helmets keep ME from paying taxes and increased hospital fees to support bodies that did not wear them “IRL.”

Put it in first gear. Release clutch. Engage starter. Drive on starter until clear of tracks.

With 100 bales of hay on the truck that starter might not be up to it Larry.
