Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:47:25 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (WTEN) -- You may want to keep an eye on your car insurance costs if you’re renewing your plan. As of August 1, state law will automatically enroll New Yorkers in additional coverage that they may not need. "Everybody is now going to be automatically enrolled with the supplemental spousal liability coverage whether they’re married or not so it is causing some confusion and some concern with a lot of the insured," explained David Kirst, senior insurance specialist with AAA. Kirst told Capitol Correspondent, Amal Tlaige, right now, if someone were to get in an accident with their spouse at fault they’d only have access to the personal injury protection. "Which will cover medical payments up to $50,000 if they just have the basic personal injury protection, but they are not gonna have access to any of the bodily injury liability limits." Did the pandemic make us worse drivers? This includes access to pain and suffering which allows the injured person to sue their spouse...

Converting a Real ID license to an ID card with Real ID should be easy

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:47:25 GMT

Q. Dear Honk: A few years ago, my wife and I jumped through the hoops and got the Real ID golden bear on our driver’s licenses. When I renewed my license this spring, my new license came with the Real ID golden bear, which makes sense because I’m still the same guy. Like some other seniors, my wife realized after the COVID hiatus that it was time for her to stop driving. I applaud her. Her Real ID driver’s license will expire late this fall and she wants to convert it to a Real ID California identification card (complete with golden bear). I called the Department of Motor Vehicles and was told that can’t be done, requiring her to jump through the same hoops she did to get the golden bear on her driver’s license. I see no rational rationale for the DMV to ask for information it already has. Your faithful ancient reader.– Tony Provost, OrangeA. Dear Faithful Ancient Reader:Honk applauds your better half, too, Tony, and hopes when his pate has even less hair, and perhaps a few more wri...

3 respiratory viruses could make you sick this season – but for the first time, there are vaccines against all of them

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:47:25 GMT

By Brenda Goodman | CNNLast year’s respiratory virus season in the US was a bad one.After two years of extraordinarily light flu seasons, which infectious disease experts attributed to Covid-19 pandemic precautions like social distancing and masking, influenza came roaring back, hitting early and hard.Then respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, which had been showing up at odd times during the year, surged to new heights over the winter months. It was one of the worst RSV seasons many doctors said they could remember.On top of all that, there was an increase in Covid-19 cases, which almost seemed old hat after three years of wave after wave. The bivalent Covid-19 booster arrived just in time to defend against the BA.5 subvariant, but only 17% of Americans wound up getting the updated vaccine, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.There were packed hospitals. Packed urgent cares. Drug shortages for common cold and fever meds. Endless sick days for kids, then mo...

Los Gatos police put in significant overtime amid staffing shortages

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:47:25 GMT

The Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Department was down more than 25% of its budgeted, sworn officers between January and June of this year and cashed in on significant overtime.During that six-month period, the department billed for more than double the overtime than was budgeted for the fiscal year, costing a total of $509,983, Police Chief Jamie Field said in a mid-year review presented to the town council this week. The department recorded 1,090 additional hours of overtime compared to the same period last year.The police department has mirrored a national trend of understaffing. A 2019 survey by the International Association of Chiefs of Police found “multiple social, political and economic forces,” were to blame, including generational differences, negative perceptions of police and a lengthy hiring process, CNN reported.The Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Department is budgeted for 39 officers and currently has 28 active, available and sworn staff. That number is down slightly fr...

ATLANTA — Take a look at the leaderboard of how often all 30 MLB teams record balls in play at 110 mph or harder. Now scroll, and scroll, and scroll. Past the Mets and the Padres and the Dodgers. Keep going, beyond the Royals, the Rockies and the A’s.In 29th place: the San Francisco Giants.Heliot Ramos’ home run last Saturday was their 21st such event of the year, fewer than any team but the Washington Nationals.Simply put, the Giants don’t hit the ball very hard.As for how much that matters, and its correlation to MLB’s worst offense for going on two months, it depends who you ask.“Always,” manager Gabe Kapler said.But, hitting coach Justin Viele said, “we’re not chasing it.”Six games in the next 10 days against the Atlanta Braves will provide somewhat of a test case.Eleven players around the league have hit more balls at 110-plus mph than the Giants have as a team, and two of them — Ronald Acuña Jr. and Matt Olson — populate Atlanta&...
