Quotes by Gail Weinholzer

“Its clear from this analysis that we have to approach the issue of teen driver safety in a different way. We need to focus on the effects teen driver crashes have on others in addition to the teen drivers themselves.”

“Regardless of what Minnesota law says, parents should not allow their teen to ride with other teen drivers, nor should they be allowed to transport other teens in the first year of driving. Its tempting to be lured by the convenience of having other options for getting kids to and from school and practices, but the risks are just too great.”

“The drop in oil prices appears to be to be due to continued growth in domestic oil inventories.

“After a car seat is six years old or if the history of the seat is not known, it should be destroyed to decrease the number of safety seats being used beyond the manufacturers recommendation.

“The primary seat belt bill has something for everyone. If you are a humanitarian, you can feel good about saving upwards of 40 lives and preventing more than 400 injuries on an annual basis. If you are a fiscal conservative, you can feel good knowing this bill does not spend one single dime out of the states general fund. If you are libertarian in nature, you can feel good about the fact that fewer deaths and injuries means less infringement on the health care system supported by tax payers.”
