  • Vehicle Theft Prevention Quick Reference Guide for the LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMUNITY FOREWORD
    •2011• Vehicle Theft Prevention Quick Reference Guide FOR THE LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMUNITY FOREWORD The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is responsible for establishing and enforcing vehicle antitheft regulations. Motor vehicle theft is a growing problem that results in billions of dollars in losses every year. NHTSA has developed this annual guide to provide the law enforcement community with a concise reference tool to help identify passenger motor vehicles that have been exempted from the parts-marking requirements through model year 2011 and also to assist law enforcement in their prosecution and motor vehicle theft prevention efforts. This new guide provides a quick-reference, comprehensive summary of the vehicles that have been installed with antitheft devices as standard equipment, identifying which vehicles are exempted from the parts-marking requirements, the type of exemption granted (partial or full), and the production year(s) for which the exemption applies. This and future versions of the Vehicle Theft Prevention Quick Reference Guide for the Law Enforcement Community will provide comprehensive information for vehicle lines. The parts-marking requirements have been extended to include: • all passenger cars, • all multipurpose passenger vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of 6,000 pounds or less, • all light-duty trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating of 6,000 pounds or less determined to be high-theft, and • all low-theft, light-duty trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating of 6,000 pounds or less having a majority of their major parts interchangeable with those of a passenger motor vehicle line subject to the theft prevention standard.

    The Best Car Company In The World. 英語寫作類 學生 淡江高中 雙語二 李學軍 指導老師 Brad Hilbrich 1 PDF created with pdfFactory trial version www.pdffactory.com The Best Car Company In The World. 1. Introduction There are so many types of car and car companies in the world, but how can you be the most famous one ? Did you choose car by wether is looking good or you choose it by how it designed? For me I choose by car’s function . Aston Martin is famous for the DB range that have enabled James Bond to drive around in style, but how was this famous company established and how did it become the renowned car manufacturer that it is today? 2. Findings and Discussion It all started in 1913 from Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford. They were both handy mechanics and Lionel was an accomplished driver. In 1914 they decided to start to build their own vehicles and in 1920 the Aston Martin was born. The name “Martin” was named from Lionel Martin, and the combination of "Aston" was from the hill climb races. In 1922 Robert Bamford decided to quit and sell all of his equity to Lionel Martin. In 1947 the company was having financial crisis so they post on the newspaper to sell the company for 20000 Pound. The buyer David Brown bought it that’s where the “DB” series come from. As the same with other small production car company, in 1972 Aston Martin has financial crisis again, so David Brown decided to sell the company. As the result of Oil Crisis in 1974 the company have to close for 1 year, until 1975 Peter Sprague and George Minden rebuild the company.
