Confused how the state government works? Think that you can't affect the laws that are passed that you have to live under? If you think you can't make a difference - you can't! You can go to the Official Tennessee Government Website if you want to learn how a bill becomes law, who your representative is or what the upcoming legislative session will include. BTW, it's where we got all the information for the section above.

A lot of questions have been asked concerning Modulating headlights. Are they legal? YES. Click here to find out.

HIPAA

Did you know that if you are hurt on your motorcycle your insurance company doesn't have to cover you? That's right. You are being discriminated against and probably didn't even know it. Find out more here.
