Can you legally warn oncoming traffic of a police nabbing speeders up ahead? I was flashed at the other night driving home and I actually appreciated it. It's definitely not a bad thing. What's the worst that can happen, you slow down? I mean, that's the point...

You can no longer buy incandescent light bulbs in Massachusetts. The new federal law took effect on Aug 1. A new rule by then President Bush in 2007 called for the ban, Obama added to it, Trump rolled it back, and now President Biden reinstated it. ...

There are two types of people in the world. There's the folks who really have trouble parting with things and there's the folks who love to throw things away. I'm absolutely the latter. I really enjoy minimalism, although I'm not a purist. 😁 I had some old carpet that was cut up into pieces that I needed to dispose of for my mother, and I was wondering about that. In bul...

If a Massachusetts resident is over 55 and becomes seriously ill and needs to apply for Medicaid (MassHealth), let's say because of a need to get into a long term or permanent facility (nursing home), MassHealth will collect any unpaid debt...

I will admit that I'm way too cavalier when it comes to leaving my keys in the car. I sometimes do it by accident, but mostly I guess I just prefer to get in the car and go. I certainly don't leave them in the car all of time, but you get the idea...

Massachusetts has some pretty strict gun and ammunition laws. Here's an anecdote for you. I found a bullet (9mm live round) on the ground in the parking lot at work on Monday. I called the police just to be on the safe side. To be honest, I didn't know what to do...

I'm going to list five reasons you can get stopped by law enforcement in Massachusetts because of your license plate. Being pulled over twice in the last six months, I'm looking for any reason not to get stopped again. I worked very hard to clear my subpar driving record when I was in my twenties and I'd like to keep it that way...

Listeners of "Slater & Marjo In The Morning" may often hear us talk about being lazy at the gas pump. I don't mind the heat, but I certainly don't love it and I wanna stay cool whenever I can, you know, like when I'm pumping gas! So, I broke the ultimate gas station rule the other day and filled my tank while the engine was running and I felt pretty guilty about it. I...

I specifically remember learning the actual definition of a yellow light when I was in driving school. I was originally wrong about it. You actually gotta stop if it is safe to do so. Is it the same for "yield signs"? We'll explore. I'm sure my father was trying to be a nice guy, but he always used to "let people go" who were trying to turn left (that would be his right, not as

I get it, some people love their muscle cars and trucks. They're super fun to drive and if you like loud, you've got the whole thing! At first I thought it was the shadow of powerlines making those black marks all over some Pittsfield streets...
