Driving You Crazy

E381 - How to live your life after a crash

Experiencing a crash, either as a driver or a passenger can have longer lasting effects on the mind than the body. For some, driving becomes a chore that can be very difficult to deal with. I was contacted by someone who thought it would be good for me to chat with Janelle Lawrence. Janelle wrote a book comparing crash recovery to similar effects of PTSD that many soldiers deal with after returning from a tour of duty. The book is titled: Healing Behind the Wheel: Navigating Trauma-Informed Traffic Safety and in this episode I speak with Janelle about the book and how to overcome the challenges of life after a wreck. All that and more on the Driving You Crazy Podcast.

E380 - How to solve the problem of getting students to and from school when the bus isn't there

Getting kids to or from school can be a real challenge for some families especially if the bus service isn’t reliable. There is a service called HopSkipDrive that describes themselves as a leader in supplemental student transportation. I have a ton of questions about how it works for students, for drivers and for the school systems so I invited Campbell Millum, HopSkipDrive’s Senior Vice President of Communications and external affairs to explain it all.

E373 - Should you refuse to take the test if you're suspected of a DUI?

Let me start by saying I detest drunk driving. That said, the Colorado Department of Transportation sent out a press release saying more than half of all drivers who were contacted for suspected DUI refused to take a toxicology test. There are lawyers on social media who will persuade you to not take the test but is that the best strategy if you are pulled over? In this episode I speak with criminal defense and DUI attorney Kevin Churchill asking what you should do and what your legal rights are when it comes to intoxication. All that and more on the Driving You Crazy Podcast.
