I enjoyed your DMV story but I’m afraid Surly U. and Bad Attitude Tech. do not graduate enough people to fill the slots. Here’s a true story. After spending mucho bucks on cataract surgery and being told I have 20/25 vision, I went to the Conroe office, took the eye test and passed with no glasses. The temporary form they give you at the time said Restrictions: “NONE.” Later my new license arrived and there, as big as life, was Restriction Code “S”, which said “outside rearview mirror OR a hearing aid.” I called DMV and asked what the heck that was all about. They gave me a name and phone number to call. I called and the lady assured me I would not have to wait in line this time. You should thank the DMV workers. They have a real job, and if they are under staffed, whose fault is that? Maybe if so much money wasn’t wasted on people who don’t contribute, the DMV could hire more staff continue
The Redondo Beach Police Department will set up a DUI and driver’s license checkpoint somewhere within city limits between 7 p.m. Friday at 2 a.m. Saturday, according to a news release from the department. At the checkpoint, officers will check drivers for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment, as well as proper licensing, police said. Motorists caught driving under the influence face jail, license suspencion, insurance increases, fines, fees, DUI classes and other expenses that can exceed $10,000. According to traffic Investigator Jeff Mendence, 78 people driving under the influence have injured 117 people in Redondo Beach over the past three years. Motorists can avoid being arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence by following a few tips from the Automobile Club of Southern California. Additionally, party hosts should offer a variety of nonalcoholic drinks available, as well as provide gifts for designated drivers, and people should confiscate car keys from friends and relatives who may have had too much to drink continue
Diabetics are needlessly losing their driving licences because of a change to an official form, claims an Oakworth physiotherapist. Mags Dearden said diabetics such as herself were no longer given space to explain the reasons why they have suffered a hypoglycaemic attack – caused by low blood sugar level. She said this has led to the Driver And Vehicle Licensing Agency banning people from driving even when they posed no danger to road users. She is now campaigning for changes to the form so it only penalises diabetes sufferers who really would not be safe on the roads. Mrs Dearden lost her licence last year after suffering two night-time “hypos” caused by her insulin pump malfunctioning while she was on holiday. She fell foul of an EC directive that means people can have their licence revoked if they report two hypos in 12 months continue
