When your car is literally an open container

When it comes to driving with open containers, there’s one man who always gets a pass.  George Randall, St. Louis resident, and owner of retail liquor stores, rides around the streets of his city in a vehicle that is literally an open container!  A.J. Baime of The Wall Street Journal writes, that the car was built in the 1990s by a distributor of Old Milwaukee as a promotional vehicle for Old Milwaukee Light.  It’s built on a 1967 Volkswagen Beetle frame with a Beetle engine.  The car has beer-tap handles for side-view mirrors, beer-tap handles for turn signals, and its nose holds a pony keg with ice.

Randall purchased the car from eBay for $2000 about 6 years ago.  He admits he gets some flak for driving the Milwaukee car while living in a suburb of St. Louis, the home of Anheuser-Busch.  Some say he should be driving a Budweiser car instead.  Interestingly enough, Randall isn’t much of a beer drinker, but he loves his beer can car.  Click here to view the article.

National Work Zone Awareness Week

Did you know? Each year over 100 road construction workers are killed in construction zones. Nearly half are killed as a result of being struck by a motor vehicle.  Today kicks off National Work Zone Awareness Week, and we encourage drivers to use extra caution in construction areas.  This year’s campaign theme, “Don’t Be That Driver!” reinforces the message that motorists should be constantly alert and prepared for dynamic changes in and around work zones.
