S2E12: Tamika Thomas – Car Malfunction, LA Road Rage, and Hitting a Wall

Did you ever think your car’s computer could malfunction to the point your brakes worked like the gas pedal? Neither did our guest today. In fact, she didn’t even know cars had computers. Tamika Thomas, host of the Tuesday with Tamika podcast, author, speaker, and life coach, shares the story about how her car’s computer malfunctioned causing her brakes to accelerate the car, having to find something to hit, and ending with smoke coming out of her car. She also shares about the experience of teaching her kids how to drive and how her first time driving was in a multi-passenger van at the age of 14. Living in California, she has seen her fair share of crazy drivers from the speed drivers of Southern California to the grandma drivers of Northern California. And don’t forget the California rolling stop. You would think she was a racecar driver in her past life with the way she loves to speed while being safe, of course. But be careful texting and driving around her because she is not afraid to get out and give you a piece of her mind (or at least she almost did to the impatient driver behind her, but now she just calls them all friends). And she thinks that if everyone could just drive like her, the world would be a better place.
