On a Thursday evening, I had the pleasure of being in a DUI/DL Checkpoint hosted by the San Mateo…read morePolice Dept. In all my years as a driver, I think I've only been in 6-7 DUI Checkpoints. This was a pretty well run DUI checkpoint. But I don't recall seeing the huge orange sign warning people that there's a DUI Check ahead. But as I got closer, I was pretty sure it wasn't a free carwash with all the police cars all lined up. The officer asked to see my driver's license and that's all. I was quickly waved thru, and it was done. Pretty straight forward, no looking inside your vehicle with flashlights.

They were called and arrived shortly after...ahhh quick. Two paramedics first and then a cavalry of firefighters all with intent to help. They get me to the ambulance and hook me up, asking a bunch of questions all the while making me as relaxed and calm as I could be...perfect. Their professionalism was showing all the while. The driver had a good time with the lights and sirens, not needed but why not. Arrived at the hospital and they made sure I was placed in good hands with a seamless transition. Much appreciated. After my release from the hospital I was walking back to my car and unexpectedly walked by their firehouse. I stopped to wait for them to back up their fire engine and one of the fireman recognized me from the morning. He came out and asked me how I was doing. He didn't have to do that but he did! That's straight kindness. Last words...God bless you all at Station 3.

This was the nearest office for me at the time. I have learned my lesson to call the police at the time of the accident and to take many pictures and video of my interaction with the other party driving. A rear dash cam would have been helpful as well. In the panic of the accident, I also forgot to demand to see her drivers license even though I offered mine. She said she didn't have her auto insurance card. People are often not honest, cooperative, or responsible. Fortunately, I took a few identifying pics of her and her car and had her cell number. This Redwood City CHP office forwarded my report to the Oakland CHP office. Redwood City said to wait 7 or 8 business days before following up with Oakland.

I thought the class was going to be 3 hours of boredom but Joe was a great instructor. He kept us awake with funny stories and jokes. Even though it was his third class of the day and he was too tired to stand, he was still energetic and funny enough to keep us awake and attentive. You can really tell that they are providing this class to HELP the community, not for a profit. It's about half the cost of what I've found elsewhere. Also, if you take the class and ever want a 10 minute refresher, Joe offers free touch-ups. He told us that most heart attacks happen in the home, so $40 to save the life of a family member seems like a great deal to me.

The surgeon was so great that I've been up and around ever since. Meaning, I ignored all instructions to be conservative with movement. I paid the price for my ignorance. Today, I took my garbage can out to the curb. Tonight, I went out to retrieve it. Unfortunately, I tripped on my garage entrance, and fell on my knees. Thank the stars for cell phones. I called 911, and they quickly sent a crew of three men to my home. They got me up on my feet quickly, and helped me into my house. Very helpful, concerned, and professional. We've all seen the "I've fallen, and I can't get up ad." Dammit, now I'm in that bucket. These guys deserve 10 stars.

Followed the instructions to a tee and still felt like it was not properly installed. I am so glad we followed our gut and reached out to CHP for a safety seat inspection. We spent a little over an hour with volunteer Frank Yee who not only inspected our installation and corrected it (it was done wrong!) but also taught us how to adjust the seat for baby's growth over time, how to safely place them in the buckled seat and how to install the seat without a base when we are traveling in other cars that are not ours. We tried to pay, donate and tip but Frank refused - it was the peace of mind we as new parents really needed and we couldn't be more grateful! Thank you Frank Yee and CHP!
