Stranded for Hours—All Because of a Wheelchair?

Imagine paying for roadside assistance, but when you actually need it, you’re left sitting on the highway for hours because your wheelchair can’t fit in the tow truck. That’s what happened to Frédéric McNamara, who felt like a “third-class citizen” after being stranded for three hours. Even though he pays for CAA, the system just wasn’t ready for someone with his needs. Shouldn’t services be more inclusive in 2024? #Transportation #AccessibilityMatters #RoadsideAssistance

Old mistakes might still be haunting your file 👻

If you're in California, it’s worth giving the DMV a call to check your driving record. Sometimes old tickets or accidents don’t automatically fall off when they should—and a simple call could get them removed. It’s definitely worth a few minutes to potentially save hundreds in insurance costs. Also, heads up: some insurance companies treat roadside assistance calls like claims. Yep, something as harmless as getting help for a flat tire could look like a crash on your record. It’s wild. Not every insurer reports it that way, but if you’ve ever used their roadside services instead of joining something like AAA, it could be sitting on your file right now. Definitely worth checking, especially if your premiums seem way too high for no obvious reason. Ever been surprised by something on your record?
