Posted by Guest Blogger+ as Articles, Lifestyle Features
Driving under the influence is among the top offenses on the road in the U.S. Every year, an estimated 10,000 people get killed due to alcohol-related crashes. Since 30 years ago, statistics showed that alcohol-related accidents have claimed the lives of more than 440,000 people.
And just recently, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) recommended that all the 50 U.S. states follow a cut-off of 0.05 for the blood alcohol content instead of the current 0.08 standard. The board also urged all courts to act on drunk driving cases.
The NTSB believes that lowering the blood-alcohol content standard could save some 800 lives each year. Apart from the U.S., there are also over 100 countries worldwide that have set their BAC limits to 0.05 or lower.
Authorities in the country continue to find ways to reduce, if not totally eliminate, cases of driving under the influence. They are also utilizing technology in an effort to easily track offenders even before they can cause harm to people and properties.
What Does It Take to Avail of a Title Loan?

Title loans are those that require collateral and they come in different types. It all depends on the title or document you have available.
This type of loan is popular among consumers owing to the fact that it does not consider an applicant’s credit rating and loan approval is done quickly. Loan amounts granted by a title pawn company can vary from as low as $100 to thousands of dollars while the maximum amount a person can avail of normally depends on the type of collateral submitted.
It should be understood that availing of this kind of loan does not necessarily involve possession of an applicant’s property such as a vehicle or any other physical object. These days, many lenders only get hold of the title or document that provides proof of ownership of a valuable property or asset. The only important requirement is the submission of a clear title with no financing obligations or liens on the vehicle.

Employees don't realize that there are ways to get more money without even asking for a raise. Not sure how to do it?
Here are some tips you can follow moving onwards.
The Bonus
While your employer may not be open to the idea of giving you a raise, you can actually ask for the so-called spot bonus. This you can do if you feel you're a worthy and productive employee all this time.
Are you looking for an adventure sport that takes you from the laundry room to the world’s tallest peaks, the deepest oceans and everywhere in between? Then you need to try extreme ironing.
Yes, you heard right. Extreme ironing. The sport started in 1997 when a British knitwear factory worker decided to combine work with his favorite hobby, rock climbing. Phil Shaw passionately traveled the world in 1999 to promote the sport. While traveling through New Zealand, he met German tourists. That meeting led to the first Extreme Ironing International group. Today, you’ll find extreme ironing events, competitions and opportunities all around the world.
