Fall Driving Interview

Judy Rife, of the Times Herald-Record of Middletown NY, wrote an article published on October 10, 2011, about the dangers of sun glare while driving in the fall. The article, "A sure sign of autumn: sun glare when driving", is based in part on an interview Judy did with me recently.  It contains some driving tips to keep in mind at this time of year.  You can read the article re-printed on our web site here, or you can read the original.
