Who is this gentleman? Why is he important in the automotive world? This is Dr. C Hunter Shelden. He was a neurologist that was born in Minneapolis, MN in 1907. Dr. Shelden, as well as other neurologists, began to study trauma from head injuries. This piqued his interest in creating a safer experience while driving a car. In 1955 he introduced a retractable seatbelt that would help prevent injuries from automobile accidents. By 1968 the three-point retractable seatbelt was required and installed in automobiles across the U.S. Thank you, Dr. Shelden, for inventing the seatbelt! This outstanding neurologist went on to develop other safety features for cars.

As I entered my garage this morning, I happened to glance at my headlights. Wow! Were they full of road spray from the recent storm! So, I went inside and got a wet rag to wipe them off. I then went and did the same for my 3 rear brake lights. For safety reasons, I wanted to make sure that other drivers could see my vehicle lights. With these frigid temperatures, I knew that my car wouldn't be getting a car wash in the near future. I figured this is the best I can do for now. If your vehicle is in the same situation, take some time to get your front and rear lights clean again. Stay safe out there on the roads
