arrow bullet Vehicle & Traffic Law: Unattended motor vehicle-section 1210:
Many people are not aware that leaving a vehicle, unattended, while it is running, is a violation of the V & T Law.  The most common example of this is stopping at a convenience store, leaving the car running and going inside the store.  There have been cases of vehicles being stolen when they are left running without anyone in them. An even more dangerous situation occurs when adults leave children in the car while it is running.  Cars have been stolen with children still in the car.  In other cases, children have put the car in gear and caused an accident because it was left running without the driver present.
     Please turn off you car, take the keys and lock it before walking away.  You may avoid having it stolen, wrecked or you as the driver receiving a traffic ticket.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse has tracked the use of illegal drugs among 8th, 10th and 12th grade students. The good news is that since 1975 overall use has declined. One area, however, has seen an increase.  Students in the 8th grade survey reported more use of inhalants. more
