Rainy days are still ahead California, whether you are in Northern California where rainfall is more abundant, or you are in Southern California where it happens less often. Driving habits need to be changed when it is raining versus when it is a dry day to ensure road safety. Here are some i that will help protect you and others from harm’s way.

• The road is most slippery on the first day of rain.
• Drive slower and leave more space than usual between your car and the car ahead.
• Brake earlier than normal so the car behind you has extra time to brake as well.
• Make sure all car lights are working: headlights, taillights, signal lights, brake lights, and high beams.
• Make sure your horn is working.
• Check your tire treads; if they need changing, change the tires. Also make sure the air is to level in your tires.
• Turn your headlights on when using your windshield wipers, even if it is raining on a sunny day. This is the law.
• If you feel your car hydroplaning, remove your foot from the gas but do not step on the brake. Just keep a steady grip of your steering wheel and you will feel your car gain traction again.
• Do not try and operate your phone while driving. Not only is it unsafe, it is illegal. Pull over, turn your car off, and then use your phone.
• Keep a phone charger in your car at all times, it can come in handy in an emergency.

All sorts of driving nightmares can occur when the weather is not on our side, but the more precautions drivers take, the better it is for everyone on the road.

Bail bonds are used to release defendants from jail who are accused of all sorts of crimes, such as theft, conspiracy, or domestic violence. You know, typical things that are obviously crimes. However, did you know that in California, a person can still technically be arrested for one of these outlandishly wacky laws?

• Women may not drive in a housecoat.
• No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 mph.
• No bicycle riding in a swimming pool – Baldwin Park.
• No one may wear cowboy boots unless they own 2 cows – Blythe.
• Ice cream may not be eaten while the person is standing on a sidewalk – Carmel.
• A herd of cattle may not be driven down the street – Chico.
• Drinking intoxicated cement is illegal – Indian Wells.
• Toads may not be licked – Los Angeles.

This list goes on and on and on. California has more than its share of weird, wacky laws that have not been taken out of the law books yet. Many are not actually enforced and others seem like no one would actually want to commit them. Nonetheless, they are actual laws in California.

Believe it or not, the defendant in jail is not the only person who benefits from posting bail with a bail bond.

• Immediate family – They get to have their loved one back home. No more jail visits and empty seats at the dinner table.
• Employers – The defendant can return to work and earning an income again.
• Friends – The whole gang can reunite without worrying that the defendant is going to miss out on barbecues, or other fun outings.
• Co-signers – Relationships between these people and the defendant can strengthen. The defendant knows these people are really banking on them to turn their life around and take this matter seriously. The defendant does not want to let them down, especially knowing they are spending money and pledging collateral in their name.
