Promoting Safety

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of NMEDA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Safety is always an important issue, but sometimes it can be overlooked. There are many messages daily about being safe in the common, every day events in our lives. One such non-profit trade association is NMEDA. NMEDA educates consumers on what products to buy from NMEDA qualified dealers. The organization itself does not sell anything, but helps consumers be more aware of safe driving equipment, particularly equipment for disabled drivers. Dealers that sell this equipment are held to strict safety standards created by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Qualified NMEDA dealers sell equipment such as modifications and handicap vans for those that need daily transportation.

NMEDA strives to bring awareness to consumers that just like disabilities themselves, no two disability equipment companies are the same. If you really want to get the best adaptive equipment for your transportation needs, make sure that the company you work with can provide to with personalized services so that you know exactly what you are buying before you buy it.

There are NMEDA qualified dealers across the United States. To find your local dealer, check out nmeda.org and click on the dealers locator link.

No one can make me feel bad about my lack of a driver's license. Today, I watched a rerun of Ellen from November, I think. DJ Jonny was featured in a little clip that showed him taking his driving test and receiving his driving permit. At the time, he was 28 years old.

Now my situation doesn't seem so bad. I'm 23 and when I was seventeen, I got my permit. It's of course expired now, and i have no desire to renew it. Even John Lennon didn't get his license until he was 24. And he hardly drove before or after that. So why pick on me?

No one believes me that I'm doing this for the environment. I mean, just one less car on the road is helping. And I have a bike. I can get around most days.

I don't know why I feel so compelled to write about this today, but I'm tired of not having a car or not knowing how to drive just as much as I'm tired of people trying to push me to get it done and over with. Chill out, people. It's on my list of the 100 things I want to do in my life. I'll get to it.
