HAVE A LAUGH!
HOW TO SURVIVE THE 100 DEADLIEST DAYS 3 Safe Driving Tips You Should Live By Did you know that right now, your risk of dying in a car accident is higher than at any other time of year? During the “100 Deadliest Days” from Memorial Day to Labor Day, Kentuckians are at an increased risk on the road — largely because of teen drivers. During the summer, teenagers are out of school and more likely to be behind the wheel, either learning the ropes with brand-new driver’s licenses or speeding between sleepovers with nothing but a Red Bull to keep them awake. Either situation is perilous. As AAA explains, “For every mile driven, new teen drivers (ages 16-17 years old) are three times more likely to be involved in a deadly crash compared to adults,” and more teens on the road means “more time driving at night and potentially engaging in risky behaviors like speeding, texting, or simply sharing the vehicle with teen passengers.” There are other dangerous factors at play, too. Parents stressed out about balancing work, kids’ activities, and the back-to-school rush are more likely to speed or drive distracted. When you add in road work that forces us to take unfamiliar routes, it’s no wonder there are so many deadly wrecks!

DIRECTIONS
WE WANT YOU TO THINK OF US AS YOUR LAW FIRM. If you have a legal matter that needs attention, let us know. If we can’t handle the matter, we will refer you to a firm that can. Please feel free to refer us to your friends and family for their legal needs. We welcome the opportunity to help. 1. In a food processor or blender, mix bell peppers, garlic, vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Transfer sauce to a bowl; whisk in oil. 2. Into a large plastic zipper bag, pour 1 cup of sauce; add halibut fillets and seal bag; turn to coat fillets. Let marinate in refrigerator for 20 minutes. Reserve remaining sauce for serving. 3. Preheat a grill to medium-high (400–450 F). Remove halibut from marinade; scrape off excess. 4. On oiled grill grates, arrange fillets and grill, covered, until fish flakes easily, 4–5 minutes per side. 5. Transfer fillets to serving plates or a large platter. Drizzle with reserved sauce. Serve alongside preferred veggies and crusty bread.
The good news is that you can up your family’s odds of making it to Labor Day safely. Here are three tips to use before it’s too late.
1. If you have a teenager, create what AAA calls a Parent-Teen Driving Agreement to set limits on the hours your teen drives and how many friends they have in the car. 2. Practice and model smart driving behaviors. Resist the temptation to speed when you’re late or answer that text message behind the wheel. Driving safely protects you and shows your kids how to drive safely. 3. Consider letting your teen sleep in. Drowsy driving can be deadly, so reconsider trying to boot your teenager out of bed at 8 a.m. If they were up late, let them sleep — it could save their life! These tips should protect you, but if someone you know gets in a wreck this summer, remember to give them our phone number. We’ll help them recover financially!
