California Department of Motor Vehicles THIS PAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK • • fj fj Dear fellow Californian, We have more licensed drivers and registered vehicles than any other state. That means California’s roads pose unique challenges for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. But when we follow the rules of the road and drive with safety in mind at all times, everyone benefits. That is why this California Driver Handbook is so important. Within these pages – and online at DM V.ca.gov – you will find information and advice to safely travel the roads of our great state. Whether you are a young driver going over this material for the first time or refreshing your knowledge after years of on-the-road experience, I hope you find the contents informative, helpful, and practical. Yes, California’s traveling environment poses unique challenges – from the coasts to the mountains and everywhere in between. While we may encounter varying conditions as we move throughout the state, the laws on how to reach our destination safely do not. Please be safe when you’re behind the wheel and remember to put away your smartphone while driving. Si ncerely, >j/ju-if DAV I D S .

Abstract In Texas, approximately eight flood-related fatalities occur each year—the majority of these (78.6 percent) involve motorists that are trapped in their vehicles or washed away. In many cases, victims, not wanting to take a lengthy detour, ignored barricades and tried to drive across a flooded street or low-water crossing— literally driving themselves into harm’s way. It takes as little as 2 ft of water to float most cars.

  • The Image of Police Officer As Emerging from Road Movies and Road Lingo
    ZESZYTY NAUKOWE UNIWERSYTETU RZESZOWSKIEGO SERIA FILOLOGICZNA ZESZYT 51/2008 STUDIA ANGLICA RESOVIENSIA 5 Grzegorz A. KLEPARSKI, Magorzata MARTYNUSKA THE IMAGE OF POLICE OFFICER AS EMERGING FROM ROAD MOVIES AND ROAD LINGO Road movies: The roots of the genre American society holds many things to be dear – indeed one might say that, becoming to such a heterogenous notion these notions are equally varied. However, one might define a number of values which are commonly held to be of great importance to America as a whole, such as mobility, independence, fairness, individualism, freedom, determination and courage. These values are best encapsulated in the film genre known as ‘road movies’, through which Hollywood has sought to celebrate the very nature of Americanness. The purpose set to the pages that follow is to outline the concept of freedom as the guiding force of the characters in the road movies and – in particular – the role and the concept of POLICE OFFICER who either turns out to be a constraint on freedom or – on rare occasions – its facilitator. The second part of the paper concerns the trucker language, and – more specifically – the picture of the POLICE OFFICER in the language of CB radio. In particular, we shall analyse the linguistic mechanisms involved in shaping the concept discussed; that is the working of the devices of zoosemy and metonymy. From the very outset, it can be observed that right from the very origins of settlement in the New World, the first Americans were always connected – in some way – with the road and the concept of travelling.1 The early settlers were pioneers wandering westwards; crossing wide stretches of land, constantly on the move in search of a place to live.

  • Warriors As the Feminised Other
    Warriors as the Feminised Other The study of male heroes in Chinese action cinema from 2000 to 2009 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chinese Studies at the University of Canterbury by Yunxiang Chen University of Canterbury 2011 i Abstract ―Flowery boys‖ (花样少年) – when this phrase is applied to attractive young men it is now often considered as a compliment. This research sets out to study the feminisation phenomena in the representation of warriors in Chinese language films from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China made in the first decade of the new millennium (2000-2009), as these three regions are now often packaged together as a pan-unity of the Chinese cultural realm. The foci of this study are on the investigations of the warriors as the feminised Other from two aspects: their bodies as spectacles and the manifestation of feminine characteristics in the male warriors. This study aims to detect what lies underneath the beautiful masquerade of the warriors as the Other through comprehensive analyses of the representations of feminised warriors and comparison with their female counterparts. It aims to test the hypothesis that gender identities are inventory categories transformed by and with changing historical context. Simultaneously, it is a project to study how Chinese traditional values and postmodern metrosexual culture interacted to formulate Chinese contemporary masculinity. It is also a project to search for a cultural nationalism presented in these films with the examination of gender politics hidden in these feminisation phenomena. With Laura Mulvey‘s theory of the gaze as a starting point, this research reconsiders the power relationship between the viewing subject and the spectacle to study the possibility of multiple gaze as well as the power of spectacle.

  • Anti-Texting Law Facts
    Anti-Texting Law Facts Pennsylvania’s anti-texting law, effective March 8, 2012, encourages motorists to put their full focus on driving. What the Law Does The law prohibits as a primary offense any driver from using an Interactive Wireless Communication Device (IWCD) to send, read or write a text-based communication while his or her vehicle is in motion. Defines an IWCD as a wireless phone, personal digital assistant, smart phone, portable or mobile computer or similar devices that can be used for texting, instant messaging, emailing or browsing the Internet. Defines a text-based communication as a text message, instant message, email or other written communication composed or received on an IWCD. Institutes a $50 fine for convictions under this section. Makes clear that this law supersedes and preempts any local ordinances restricting the use of interactive wireless devices by drivers. The penalty is a summary offense with a $50 fine, plus court costs and other fees. The violation carries no points as a penalty and will not be recorded on the driver record for non- commercial drivers. It will be recorded on commercial drivers’ records as a non-sanction violation. The texting ban does NOT include the use of a GPS device, a system or device that is physically or electronically integrated into the vehicle, or a communications device that is affixed to a mass transit vehicle, bus or school bus. The law does not authorize the seizure of an IWCD. Background, Nationwide Perspective In 2010, there were 13,846 crashes in Pennsylvania where distracted driving played a role.
