Remember when you were a teenager and learning how to drive?  Do you remember receiving your driver’s license from the local Department of Motor Vehicles?  How about that first drive with nobody else in the vehicle?

If the light is RED, this is serious.  You should immediately look for a safe place to pull the car over and turn the vehicle off as to avoid any further damage to the vehicle or to avoid any potentially unsafe conditions.  Generally, a red ... read more
