Today wraps up my eight-week-long campaign against distracted driving with fellow auto blogger Carlos Beltran of Beltran About Cars. I must first thank him for reaching out to me to work together on this important initiative.

We recently participated in the BMW Ultimate Driving Experience (UDE) at FedEx Field just outside of Washington, DC, where the German brand’s emphasis on driving its vehicles outshone its desire to get attendees to purchase one of their machines (well, initially).

Hello to all the distraction-free drivers reading this post.

Remember how stressful, yet exciting, it was to prepare to get your driver’s license?

Distracted driving and teenagers make for a deadly combination — one that parents, car manufacturers, and legislators are well aware of. Lecturing your teenager on the merits of safe driving can fall on deaf ears.

If you’re like me and you’ve spent the majority of your adult life in a place that doesn’t have “real winters,” you probably panic at the thought of driving in snow or on ice.
