The rules have changed against drunk driving and drug use in New York, as Governor Cuomo has put forth.  You can permanently lose your license if you rack up three or more DWI or drug related problems. This is existence if you have these convictions over a 25 year period or if you have five booze or drug related issues in your lifetime.

There have been too much drunk driving issues going on that it has been enough and it is time to put a stop to it.  Governor Cuomo spoke about how “driving is not a right but a privilege.”  By keeping these kinds of drivers off the roads it is keeping everyone else safe.   A serious driving offense, can be a numerous of things; accumulating 20 or more points, two or more driving convictions each worth five points or higher or a fatal crash.

This is not an issue anyone should be upset about or have issues with because it has to come to a stop. Every day there are drunk driving accidents where people are killed and it has to be put to a stop.  If people do not learn the lesson of drunk driving, they will have serious actions against them.

It's happening again.  The potential of another cancelled NHL season looms over the sports world as the National Hockey League announced Wednesday the cancellation of the 2012 preseason games through Sept. 30.  The announcement was due to the inability of the NHL Player's Association and NHL to agree on a Collective Bargaining Agreement.  

We last heard of an NHL Lockout during the 2004-2005 season, when negotiations fell apart resulting in the cancellation of the 2004-2005 NHL season.

The New York Rangers are set to lose three preseason contests, which include two against the New Jersey Devils and another against the Philadelphia Flyers.  Nassau County local Islanders will cancel two games against the Edmonton Oilers and New Jersey Devils. 

According to sources, several Blue shirts have already signed deals to play overseas, including Carl Haglin and offseason signing Rick Nash.

 Heads Up:  The NHL preseason match up slated for Oct. 2 between the New York Islanders and New Jersey Devils at the freshly opened Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY is still questionable!

Why Is Wearing your Seat Belt So Important?

One of the most important things to do when you first get into the car is to always put your seat belt on.  If you forget to buckle up, a series of incidents can happen from that one tiny mistake. 

New York State has a law enforced for seat belts to help prevent injuries in a  traffic crash and to keep you and your passengers safe at all times. It is State Law to always be buckled up, and if you’re caught driving without wearing it -or any of your passengers are not wearing it- you will be fined a traffic ticket.

It is the driver’s responsibility to make sure each passenger under the age of 16 obeys the law and are all buckled up. If someone under the age of 16 is unbuckled, then the driver can be fined $25 to $100 and will receive three points on their license for each violation.

A seat belt captivates the force of impact in a traffic crash and reduces your risk of being killed or injured. It holds you in tight in your vehicle and stops the risk of you being tossed around. To wear your seat belt properly it should be tight around the belly and comfortably across your chest. You should always wear your seat belt and wear it the right by, it helps protect your life and the passengers in your car and avoids getting a traffic ticket.

Should you find yourself with a Seat Belt Ticket, or any traffic ticket in Nassau County, contact Traffic Ticket Nassau County immediately! For more information visit TrafficTicketNassauCounty.com.

Last week, The New York City Board of Health placed a ban on the sale of super-sized sugary drinks in NYC. Since then, the ban has created much controversy.

The Board of Health placed this ban in effort to help curb the obesity epidemic in our country.  Supermarkets and convenient stores are exempt from the ban because only places that receive letter grades from the Health Department are included. The ban will allow these sugary drinks to be sold in containers no larger than 16 ounces. 

Do you think the sugar ban will ever become effective in Nassau County? Do you think the ban will help stop the obesity epidemic in our country? Let us know your thoughts on our Facebook page, linked HERE!

The vicious attacks of September 11, 2001 are one of the most tragic days to occur in world history. The sadness and devastation that many people felt that day, it still felt today, 11 years later.

On that beautiful Tuesday morning, so many innocent lives were lost, and our nation was forever changed. Today, many people have gathered at the site where the Twin Towers once stood, to honor all of those whose lives were lost.

Although this day brings a tremendous amount of sorrow to many, it’s turned into a day to show pride and appreciation of being Americans.

9/11/01 is a day that will forever be documented and never forgotten by the citizens of the United States and those around the world.
