Alex Davis, 33, of Oregon, has been arrested by the Ogle County police on charges of child endangerment and driving under the influence of drugs. The Ogle County Sheriff’s Office reported that deputies were called to the 6800 block of East Weld Park Road for a welfare check at 8 p.m. last Thursday. Following a brief investigation, Davis was taken into custody at the scene. In addition to the initial charges, he was also charged with possession of cannabis (more than 30g and less than 100g). Davis has been released from the Ogle County Jail with a notice to appear in court at a later date.

This is such an awful situation that no child nor adult should have to go through. If you are on drugs driving should not even be an option. Please learn from mistakes like these, because this could have ended out terribly. The outcome of DUI’s is not always the same, they can lead in no injuries to death. If you have anymore questions or comments contact us through A-1 Driving Schools.

Remember these steps when changing lanes or merging:

1. Match the speed of traffic in the lane you want to merge into.

2. Ensure you have enough space (3-5 seconds is recommended).

3. Check your blind spot before merging to ensure the lane is empty.

4. Only change lanes where it’s legal to do so (indicated by a dashed white line between lanes).

5. Use your turn signal several seconds in advance of your lane change to alert other drivers.

6. Be especially attentive and eliminate driving distractions when merging or changing lanes.

If you have any more questions contact us through A-1 Driving Schools.

When you encounter a flashing red signal at an intersection, you must come to a complete stop, just like you would at a stop sign. After stopping, you should proceed when it’s safe, yielding to any other vehicles as required by traffic rules. You don’t need to wait for the light to turn green once you’ve stopped and checked that it’s safe to go through the intersection. Flashing red lights are used when traffic signals are not working properly or during quieter times, such as late at night.

45-year-old Mandeep Singh hit Doris Post with his car and then ran over her while she was riding her bike across a pedestrian crossing. He stopped for six seconds after hitting her and then proceeded to drive over her. Singh was found to be over the alcohol limit when he crashed into Doris Post. The 45-year-old was jailed for eight years and disqualified from driving for eight years and three months.

Our hearts go out to Doris’s family as they cope with their loss. The tragic consequences of drunk driving serve as a reminder of the importance of responsible behavior behind the wheel. If you have any driving needs, don’t be afraid to contact us at A-1 Driving Schools.
