Easy Method Driving School

05/24/2026

We would like to ask people to remember to observe the speed limit in front of the farm. Last evening, a silver Dodge pick up with an American flag on the tailgate was going at a high rate of speed much faster than 45 miles an hour and hit one of the geese. They continued on without stopping . She’s still alive, although probably will only be able to see out of one side. Geese are some of the toughest animals I’ve ever seen .  It’s 45 miles an hour past the farm for a reason, whether it be kids cows or heavy machinery there is a lot of action around the place . Thank you in advance for being considerate and obeying the speed limit 🙂

We have a bear-y cute photo to share with you 🐻

Today, New York State Police Sergeant Station Commander Richard Kosakowski, assigned to Troop D, was contacted by a passerby while driving on West Ava Road in Oneida County about something unusual in the roadway.

Turns out, it wasn’t your average roadside hazard… it was a tiny, furry cub causing a brief bear-ier to traffic.

Sergeant Kosakowski contacted the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, who responded to safely take over and help reunite the cub with its mom.

A good reminder to slow down and stay alert… you never know who might be crossing!

🚨 A Message from the Guilderland Police Department Traffic Safety Unit 🚨

As the weather warms up, we are seeing an increase in the use of e-bikes, e-scooters, motorcycles, and electric dirt bikes on our roadways and in our neighborhoods. While these can be fun and convenient, it is important to remember they must be operated safely and in accordance with New York State Vehicle and Traffic Laws.

Know the Rules of the Road:
• Obey all traffic signs and signals
• Ride in the proper lanes and direction of travel
• Wear appropriate safety gear, including helmets where required
• Ensure your vehicle is legal for roadway use (many electric dirt bikes are NOT street legal)
• Do not operate on sidewalks unless permitted
• Follow all age restrictions and licensing requirements

Parents & Guardians:

We need your help. Please make sure your children understand and follow these rules. Many of these devices are not toys and can pose serious risks when used improperly. Some are legally considered motor vehicles, and operators may not be old enough to ride them on public roadways. Allowing unsafe or illegal operation puts your child and others in danger.

⚠️ENFORCEMENT NOTICE⚠️
Failure to follow the law may result in enforcement action, including fines and possible confiscation of the vehicle. Unsafe operation will not be tolerated.

Drivers:

Please remain mindful that these riders are sharing the road. Stay alert and watch for e-bikes, scooters, and motorcycles, especially in residential areas.

Our goal is simple: keep everyone safe. Please do your part to help keep our roads and neighborhoods safe for all.

Please see the below flow chart for additional guidance on the laws related to e-bikes, e-scooters, and motorcycles.

**UPDATE ON PILE-UP NEAR SYRACUSE**

Where- I-81 in LaFayette near Exit 73

Why- Poor visibility and slippery roads

How Bad- 37 vehicles, including 3 tractor trailers

Injured- 8 transported to the hospital, 2 in serious condition.

No fatalities are expected.

Road is fully back open.

State Police say sudden 'snow squalls' blinded drivers and you can see the result.

For those who've never drove through Central New York in the winter, these squalls are common and dangerous.

I got caught on one on the Thruway many years ago near Syracuse and I was completely stuck... meaning, I couldn't see what was in front of me, but if I pulled over or tried to and stopped, I risked getting creamed by a car or truck that didn't see me stopped on the shoulder.

You end up going 20 miles per hour blind and hoping nothing hits you.

They are very dangerous.

We don't get mudslides, wildfires, hurricanes or many tornados... but... scary winter weather we do get upstate.

🚌 DRIVING back from skiing I got stuck behind a school bus. For miles and miles he’d stop and little kids came off.

I took today off from work to ski, so I wasn’t in any hurry, but even if I was, I would not have minded waiting on this bus and the dozen or so stops he made in front of me.

The children on this bus, for the most part, were very young, like kindergarten or first grade… judging from their size.

It was an unexpected gift watching them come down off the stairs of the bus, because I got to see their reaction when they saw their mom or dad standing on the curb in the snow waiting.

That moment, the excitement in these children to see the one person in the whole world, they know adores them waiting the moment those bus doors opened.

It really was something to see.

Almost every single one of them ran and hugged their parent.

One little boy, literally jumped up at his mom‘s arms.

The mom looked young, late 20s I’d guess… and as excited as she was to get her hands on her baby, I knew something that she doesn’t know yet.

It all goes so fast.

The window of time where you are the absolute hero of your child and their entire world is only a few short years.

Too soon they’re in middle school, then high school and building lives and friendships of their own and the relationship changes… as it should.

For our children to grow up and be able to make their own way in the world, they have to break away from us eventually… but this age, what I saw today at 6, 7 year-old age… it really is special.

So, the bus made me about 10 minutes late getting home, but I didn’t mind.

I had a front row seat to a lot of love.

Love wrapped up in puffy jackets, hat, and scarves little rubber boots… leaping into the arms of their entire world

🚦UH OH!!!!🚦

A massive power outage in San Francisco left a fleet a self-driving cars stuck at intersections.

Why?

Because the ‘Waymo’ vehicles came to traffic lights there were OUT & dark.

When the cars couldn’t read the lights- Green or Red- they just shut down, stranding their passengers.

I know cars with no drivers is the future, but… this is further proof that computers and AI can’t do everything 📱 💻 🚙
