“Red Phone, I noticed the gas station on the southwest corner of Monterey Road and Dunne Avenue has reopened. It sure is nice.”
Red Phone: Dear Glad It’s Open, you’re not the only one. Others have commented to Red Phone about the new station – which just opened last week – and how it has spruced up that corner. The closed station and boarded up building was a blight for the past year or so, but now with the newly widened W. Dunne Avenue and the refurbished station/market now open for business, the corner looks a lot better.
Hope that helps., good caller.
Follow up on distracted drivers
Red Phone: Earlier this month, Red Phone received a call wondering just what exactly constitutes a distracted driver. Red Phone mentioned police are primarily looking for people texting or using cellphones while driving, but people could also be cited for having headphones on both ears.
There is also another aspect that people need to be aware of, said Jaime L. Rios, CHP public information officer.
If the device you are using is interfering in such a way that you’re weaving or operating the vehicle in an unsafe manner an officer can cite you for the Basic Speed Law (22350 VC), he said.
The law states: “No person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property.”
So keep your eyes on the road to make sure you and the people around you are safe.
