Alifornia HANDBOOK English 2017 ® DRIVERCalifornia HANDBOOK Edmund G. Brown Jr., Governor State of California Brian P. Kelly, Secretary California State Transportation Agency This handbook is available at Jean Shiomoto, Director www.dmv.ca.gov. California Department of Motor Vehicles THIS PAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK Dear Fellow Californian, Our roads and highways allow us to traverse this golden state to conduct business, visit family and friends, and discover the scenic wonders that make California such a desirable place to call home. But before we get behind the wheel, we must remember to put safety first by obeying the rules of the road, avoiding distracted driving, and refraining from drinking and driving. Since we share the road with approximately 26 million licensed drivers in Califor- nia, we cannot forget that the issuance of a driver license is a privilege that comes with great responsibility. To fully understand all that is required of each of us, it is important to carefully study this California Driver Handbook. It is also available online at www.dmv.ca.gov and in a convenient downloadable “app” that offers sample quizzes, instructional videos, and interactive tutorials. While our cars and trucks are constantly being equipped with new automotive tech- nologies designed to make driving safer, it still remains our job to keep our eyes on the road, hands on the wheel, and mind focused on driving. And remember to stay alert for bicyclists and pedestrians. Wishing you safe journeys, BRIAN P.

    Readers’ Advisory Committee AUGUST 2020 Staff Picks Digital and Print Edition Go to www.lib.de.us to find out how! FICTION SEVEN LIES BY ELIZABETH KAY (PICKED BY SP) Growing up, Jane and Marnie shared everything. They knew the other’s deepest secrets. But when Marnie falls in love, things begin to change. Because Jane has a secret: she loathes Marnie’s wealthy, priggish husband. So when Marnie asks if she likes him, Jane tells her first lie. After all, even best friends keep some things to themselves. If she had been honest, then perhaps her best friend’s husband might still be alive today… For, of course, it’s not the last lie. In fact, it’s only the beginning… Seven Lies is Jane’s confession of the truth—her truth. Compelling, sophisticated, chilling, it’s a seductive, hypnotic page-turner about the tangled, toxic friendships between women, the dark underbelly of obsession and what we stand to lose in the name of love. (352 pgs) THE SILENCE BY SUSAN ALLOTT (PICKED BY SLS) It is 1997, and Isla Green is awakened by a call in the middle of the night: her father phoning from Sydney. Thirty years ago, in the summer of 1967, the Green's next-door neighbor Mandy disappeared. At the time, it was thought she fled a broken marriage and gone to start a new life; but now Mandy's family is trying to reconnect, and there is no trace of her. Isla's father Joe was allegedly the last person to see her alive, and now he's under suspicion of murder.

  • Theroad for Safer Senior Drivers
    PAVING the ROAD for Safer Senior Drivers Letter From the Governor Fellow Delawarean, We want you safely driving as long as possible. That’s why our Senior Driving Task Force, a great group of partners of state and private agencies, worked together and designed this guide. As the number of older drivers across the United States increases, Delaware boasts the fastest growing older population in the country. Studies tell us that experienced older drivers are less likely to speed or drink-and-drive and more likely to wear safety belts, but also are more likely to be hurt in a crash. This guide provides helpful information and some steps you can take to ensure you are comfortable and in control behind the wheel. We want to keep you safe and mobile for as long as possible on Delaware’s roads – and all roads. Delaware does more for senior drivers and this is one part of our effort to pave the road for you. Safe journeys, Jack A. Markell Governor of Delaware TABLE OF CONTENTS Delaware Does More for Senior Drivers __________________________ 1 Introduction ______________________________________________________ 2 Driving in Delaware ______________________________________________ 3 Driver License Information ___________________________________ 3 Titling/Registering Your Vehicle _______________________________ 5 Handicap Plates/Placards _____________________________________ 7 Next of Kin Registry __________________________________________ 8 Motor Vehicle Fees ___________________________________________ 8 Reading the Road ________________________________________________

  • Improving Safety for Motorcycle, Scooter and Moped Riders Motorcycle, for Scootermoped and Improving Safety Improving Safety for Motorcycle, Scooter and Moped Riders
    Improving SafetyImproving and forScooter Moped Motorcycle, Riders Improving Safety for Motorcycle, Scooter and Moped Riders The global fleet of powered two-wheelers (PTWs) is constantly increasing. In many countries, motorcycles, scooters and mopeds play a significant role in mobility, particularly in many of the world’s large cities. As such, PTWs are becoming an important component of the transport system. However, they represent an important challenge for road safety. PTW riders are at far more risk than car drivers per kilometre ridden in terms of fatalities and severe injuries entailing long-term disability. Moreover, they have not benefited from safety improvements at the same pace as car occupants over recent decades. Addressing the issue of PTW safety is thus an essential contribution to the success of the United Nations’ Decade of Action for Road Safety, which aims at halving the expected number of road deaths worldwide by 2020. This report reviews recent trends in powered two-wheeler crashes, the factors contributing to these crashes and their severity. It describes a set of countermeasures targeting user behaviours, the use of protective equipment, the vehicles and the infrastructure. Finally, it discusses motorcycle safety strategies in the context of a safe system.

  • Motorcycle Crash Causation Study: Volume 2—Coding Manual
    Motorcycle Crash Causation Study: Volume 2—Coding Manual PUBLICATION NO. FHWA-HRT-18-039 FEBRUARY 2019 Research, Development, and Technology Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center 6300 Georgetown Pike McLean, VA 22101-2296 FOREWORD The Motorcycle Crash Causation Study, conducted through the Federal Highway Administration Office of Safety Research and Development, produced a wealth of information on the causal factors for motorcycle crashes, and its corresponding Volumes provide perspectives on what crash-countermeasure opportunities can be developed. This study used a crash- and control-case approach developed from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development protocols, which as discussed in this report, has provided insights into more than 1,900 data elements that may be associated with motorcycle-crash causation. The research team produced a final report along with a 14-volume series of supplemental reports that provide an overview of the study and a summary of its observations, the data-collection forms and coding definitions, a tabulation of each data element collected from each form, and selected comparisons with previous studies. It is anticipated that readers will select those Volumes and data elements that provide information of specific interest. This document, Volume 2—Coding Manual, provides the coding conventions used in this study. It provides data that enable the proper interpretation and understanding of the codes assigned to variables of interest during the study. This report will be of interest to individuals involved in traffic safety, safety training, crash and injury reduction, and roadway design and policy making, as well as to motorcycle- and safety-equipment designers, crash investigators and researchers, motorcycle and automotive manufacturers and consumers, roadway users, and human-factors specialists.
