Hit or Avoid? The Tough Call for Drivers

What would you do if an animal jumps in front of your car? A driving instructor once shared this rule: If an object fits in a recycling bin, it’s okay to hit; if it’s bigger, avoid it. This advice has stuck with me. But is it really the best approach? Imagine you’re driving, and suddenly, an animal appears. If it’s small, hitting it might be the safer option for you and your passengers. But what if it’s a large deer or elk? Swerving to avoid it could put you and others in danger, especially in bad weather or at night. The reality is, these decisions must be made in split seconds. It’s a tough call, and there’s no perfect answer. What’s your take? Would you prioritize avoiding the animal or protecting yourself and your passengers? #DrivingTips #SafetyFirst #WildlifeEncounters #DrivingDilemmas

Hit or Avoid? The Tough Call for Drivers

Is Irvine Really Safe Anymore?

Yesterday, my husband and I went to the bank near our house to grab some cash. We only had a five-minute drive back, but as soon as I got inside, a man grabbed my husband from behind while he was putting the trash can away and snatched the envelope full of cash straight from his pocket. A car was idling on the street, ready to make a quick getaway. We called 911, and four police cars showed up in five minutes. Our neighbors were awesome, helping us check the security footage. Turns out, the guy probably followed us from the bank, and we were unlucky enough not to get inside fast enough. I’ve always thought our neighborhood was safe, but now I’m more cautious. For anyone in Irvine, keep an eye out for suspicious cars, and make sure your home has solid security cameras! #SafetyFirst #IrvineCrime #StayAlert
