Does Cooling Fan Placement Affect Cooling?

Your vehicle's engine is an efficient heat-producer. While many motors run at less than 300-degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature in your cylinders stays much hotter. If these temperatures aren't tamed by your heating system, they can actually melt and seize-up various engine parts.

Help Save First Responders Lives by Obeying Move Over Laws

Move over laws are on the books for the benefit of everyone on the road. They give motorists an incentive to do everything in their power to pull over, stop, or switch lanes to give emergency responders the right of way.

The laws also leave their interpretation open so that motorists can use their best judgment in an emergency situation.
