CHANGES TO THE DRIVER GUIDE, REV 9/21 The information below replaces the information found in the current guide. REAL ID UPDATE By May 3, 2023, standard driver licenses will no longer be an acceptable form of identification for boarding domestic flights and entering some secure federal facilities, like military bases and nuclear power plants. Go to Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) website (www.tsa.gov) for a complete list of federally approved forms of identification. Even though the effective date for REAL ID is May 3, 2023 it only affects people who want to travel by plane or access certain secure federal facilities. A standard driver license will work for the U.S. travel like driving in Washington, across state lines, or riding a train. Washington’s enhanced driver licenses (EDLs) are REAL ID compliant and valid for air travel within the United States.

Since January I, 1970, a standard form has been used by all law enforcement agencies within the State, including state, county and municipal agencies responsible for investigating and reporting traffic collisions.

Facts regarding traffic collisions are used for legal and insurance purposes as well as for identifying traffic safety hazards, developing appropriate countermeasures, and implementing such measures to eliminate the hazards. Familiarity with this manual will save you time and effort at the collision scene and will aid you in submitting the reports as accurately and completely as possible, thereby, making them of the greates value for collision prevention purposes. Each TR-31 0 consists of an Original Collision Report and three Financial Responsibility forms. The Original Electronic report is submitted through the South Carolina Collision and Ticket Tracking System (SCCATTS) to the Office of Highway Safety (OHS). The existing collision reports (paper) are submitted to the Office of Financial Responsibility. The Financial Responsibility forms (FR-IO) are issued to the driver(s) involved at the time of the collision.

    The Road To Life Anton Makerenko A CONVERSATION WITH THE CHIEF OF THE GUBERNIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC EDUCATION 1 September of the year 1920 I was summoned by the Chief of the Gubernia Department of Public Education. "Look here, my friend," he said. "I'm told you're raising hell about this here...er...this...gubsovnarkhoz" [Gubernia Economic Council.--Tr.] place you've been allotted for your school!" "It's enough to make anyone raise hell," I replied. "Raise hell? I could sit down and cry! Is that a Craft School? A reeking, filthy hole like that? Is that your idea of a school?" "Oh, yes! I know what you'd like! Us to erect a new building, put in new desks, and you just move in and do your stuff! But it's not the building that matters, my friend--what matters is the creation of the new man, and you educational chaps do nothing but carp. 'The building won't do, and the tables aren't right!' You haven't got the ... er ...spirit, the revolutionary spirit, you know. You're one of those White-collar workers, that's what you are!" "Well, I don't wear a white collar, anyhow!" "All right-- you don't! But you're all a pack of lousy intellectuals. Here am I, looking everywhere for a man --and there's such a great work to be done! These homeless kids have increased and multiplied till you can hardly move for them in the streets, and they even break into the houses. And all I get for an answer is: 'It's your job, "it's the responsibility of the Department of Public Education'..
