Rude drivers have taken their behavior to another level in the 21st century.

Those in the Bay Area, specifically Burlingame, are taking steps to ensure that another fatal train track accident is not in the town's future.

Driving a car is a big responsibility.

When it comes to vehicle safety, no system is more important than the brakes. They're often the only thing between you and an accident.

Erica Peterson recently learned a life-saving lesson when a safety check of her SUV revealed that the seat belt securing her infant son's carrier was too loose. As a result, her child could have suffered serious

injuries or death if the seat slid during an accident.

"You see this seat belt? There is too much slack, and so it doesn't secure the baby's seat tight enough," said Detective Barbara Matthews of the Cocoa Beach, Fla., Police Department. "You have to pull the
vehicle's seat belt until it locks, then correctly use it to install the infant safety seat into place."
