Lifesavers Convention

My weekend was pretty brutal.

Weekends with 3 kids, 2 who are still really young and being without any family are.

But that's another topic.

This morning I casually glanced at Twitter and was so excited to see influential moms tweeting about car crashes!

Turns out they were invited by Toyota to the Lifesavers Convention which hails itself as:

"The largest gathering of highway safety professionals in the U.S."

I mean, Fix The Toaster would have gone for sure. So next year!

Anyways, I was thrilled that women such as Allison Rhodes, Leila and Fadra Nally were tweeting  about the issue.

I hope this is the beginning of a trend! 

Introducing Scott Marshall

Since I have become determined to try and make some difference in the amount of people dying in cars I've come across very few sites that have garnered a big following. Of course there is MADD, which has done amazing things. But what I was aiming for was a bit broader, as my mom would say "weirder." Just a general thought process that this is truly crazy that so many people die in car accidents and that we seem to have accepted this as, acceptable.

I have found one person whom I have really enjoyed reading. I recently emailed him and asked him if he'd be interested in becoming a contributor to Fix The Toaster and he has said yes.

So, Fix The Toaster is happy to introduce Scott Marshall.

He is a father to 4! He is a Canadian and his site Safe Driving offers up a lot of observation coming from a very good place. He is passionate about making the roads safer just as I am. He'll be posting in a couple of weeks.

Fix The Toaster is looking for more contributors, if you know someone who is passionate or knowledgeable about this subject please pass on our info to them.
