Teen Traffic Safety Tactics

Anyone who’s been through it knows it’s a time of transition for both parents and kids. While a driver’s license offers a new freedom to teens, it can also be a source of concern for parents.

March 18, 2019. John Galvin
There are a multitude of ways to explore the world, but I’m still fond the good old-fashioned road trip.

You Have a Friend in AAA
December 14, 2018. John Galvin
As I think about the new year, one word keeps coming to mind: community. We talk a lot about community here at AAA Northeast, as we believe it means more than people living together in a common area. To us, community is being there for you when you need us most. It’s helping and serving in the neighborhoods where…

Satisfy Your Wanderlust With AAA
October 19, 2018. John Galvin
For many of us, the idea of getting away is often put on hold for other things.

August 15, 2018. John Galvin
As a parent of three grown children, I still remember when each of them got a driver’s license. I was happy for them and knew how excited they were about this new level of independence. I also felt the fear of letting them behind the wheel on their own.
Research is Key to Autonomous Car Safety
July 17, 2018. John Galvin
I bought my first car, a 1982 Ford Escort, after graduating from college. It had a four-speed manual transmission, AM radio and manual steering and brakes. It got me where I needed to go, but it didn’t drive itself. In 1982, the closest thing to an autonomous vehicle was KITT on the television show “Knight…
Put the Brakes on Distracted Driving
June 21, 2018. John Galvin
Summer is finally here in the Northeast, and many of us will be jumping in the car and taking road trips near and far. During this time, you’re bound to experience more drivers on the road than any other time of year. If you’re like me, you’re also noticing the increasing number of drivers who…
