Driving You Crazy

E336 - Why Americans stopped buying convertibles

Have you ever owned a convertible? They are an experience all to their own but have you seen any lately on the roads? I read an article on the website The Hustle titled, “Why Americans Stopped Buying Convertibles” written by journalist Mark Dent. Being a former owner of a convertible I invited Mark on the podcast to talk all about that as well as his experience riding in an autonomous semi truck that are operating right now on the interstates of Texas that he wrote about for Texas Monthly. All that and more on the Driving You Crazy Podcast.

E335 - How could the proposed changes to the Air Carrier Access Act help people with mobility issues

Have you ever thought about how difficult it would be to travel, especially on planes if you had a disability or were a plus sized person? The US Department of Transportation has proposed some rules that they want the airlines to follow that are centered around accessibility accommodations for disabled persons. Taylor Uster wrote an article explaining what these proposed rules are and how they would work. Taylor is the head of research and editor of the magazine called Access Spotlight that is found on the website Friendly Like Me. I also am joined by Elysia Everett who is Friendly Like Me’s co-founder and CEO to explain how significant a problem it is to travel as a plus sized person. All that and more on the Driving You Crazy Podcast.

E334 - The end of the low-level traffic stop

Denver Police are now following a new policy that states they will no longer pull drivers over for “low-level” traffic offenses. How will this work and will it make our roads more dangerous or safer? In this episode you will hear from Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas about the policy change in his own words. We also hear from Alayna Alvarez who wrote a story about this issue for Axios Denver. Alayna is the co-author of the daily Axios Denver newsletter and also covers local politics, business development and lifestyle. All that and more on the Driving You Crazy Podcast.

E330 - What is the best way for Bambi to cross the road?

We all know that driving in areas where wildlife might cross the road can lead to conflicts. Over the past few years states have been constructing tunnels and bridges for wildlife to use, eliminating the conflict between them and us as we drive down the highways. Are those the best ways to reduce these conflict areas to keep people and animals safe or are there other techniques? Dr. Nicki Frey, Associate Extension Professor in the field of Wildlife Biology; stationed at Cedar City in southern Utah specializing in the field of Human-Wildlife Conflicts joins me to talk about how to keep animals and people safe.

E328 - Is there anyone who can help me get compensation for my cancelled flight?

Air passengers in the United States have very few rights when it comes to flight delays or cancellations. If you are flying in Europe you have many more rights and could be paid for your inconvenience. There is a service that can help acquire that compensation and help you if you are stranded. This episode I speak with Eric Napoli, Vice President of Legal Strategy and Leader of the Tech & Innovation team at AirHelp.com to talk about your rights and how they can help.
