Immigrant activists eye NM driver’s license march
January 25th, 2012But Martinez is pressing state lawmakers to repeal New Mexico’s law, contending it’s subject to fraud and the state has become a magnet for immigrants seeking a driver’s license that can be used as identification elsewhere. During her State of the State speech last week, she urged lawmakers to vote on the repeal, citing polls that showed a majority of state residents supporting scrapping the law.

Timing is Everything: Getting Your Driver’s License or Social Security Number
3. Make sure your record in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) is up-to-date and in Active status. SEVIS is the database that contains information for all F, M and J nonimmigrants in the United States. A DSO manages an F or M nonimmigrant’s SEVIS record. An RO/ARO manages an exchange visitor’s SEVIS record. The DSO or RO/ARO (whichever applies to you) must place your record in Active status when you report to the school or program. Talk with your DSO or RO/ARO before you apply for a license or SSN to make sure your record is Active in SEVIS. If your record is not Active when you apply, your application will be rejected.

A Driver’s License Has Little To Do With Driving
If it were not, “driver’s licenses” would not be linked to one’s Social Security number – the government-issued ear tag every calf (oops, citizen) is issued at birth. The SS number, in turn, is the number the government uses to make sure you pay your taxes, to keep track of where you work (and how much you earn), where you live, whom you marry, whether you have children (each of them to be issued their own ear tag in turn) and so on – all of which, again, have nothing to do with your competence as a driver.

The American Spectator : The Case Against Driver's Licenses
I didn’t get a driving license until I was 25 — and only then because I was living in California and it was impossible to move without one (note that I didn’t learn how to DRIVE when I was 25; I never really learned how to drive, although I operated various vehicles from small motorcycles to Ryder Trucks at some point). In the early 1970s people assumed one was an enemy alien if one did not have at the very least a Sheriff’s Card (the non-driver’s DMV-issued ID). Today because I have limited sight, I have no driving license; however, I have a Passport and a Health Card and a PR (Permanent Resident) Card, all of which tie me into the Grid. Recently a Canadian entered the USA by displaying his passport that he had stored on his iPad. In the not too distant future, the Official Document will be read from your Binkie every time you pass a Checkpoint. And you will welcome this because it will mean you will NEVER HAVE TO SHUT UP…every minute of every day without your having to open your mouth, you will be broadcasting yourself to the world.

Latte @ Anytime, Anywhere: HAVE AUTO WILL DRIVE …
Automatic transmission driving licences are long overdueSHIFTING GEAR: Will it be tougher to pass the test now? BACK when I was covering the transport beat in the late 1980s and 1990s, I told the then Transport Minister Datuk Seri (now Tun) Dr Ling Liong Sik that I didn’t own a driving licence. In fact, I did not even know how to drive. He asked me to sign up for driving lessons and said that he would personally be the “tester” when the time came for the practical driving test. I remember telling him back then that I would only do it if I were taught using an automatic transmission car and tested in one too. He had laughed at the suggestion. A decade or so later, I am reading that the Transport Ministry is to implement the automatic transmission driving licence this May. A new driving curriculum would enable learner drivers to learn to drive and take a test in an automatic transmission car. Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Abdul Rahim Bakri said the ministry also needs to give the driving school operators time to replace the manual transmission cars with the automatic ones. It has taken the government far too long to implement this, when automatic transmission cars have become very popular here since the 1990s. The first vehicle to have this technology was a custom-made limousine designed by Michael Felix Picone for General Douglas MacArthur as a gift. The limousine was fabricated from three Cadillac sedans. Picone had actually invented automatic transmission during World War II for a tank so that the operator could use his left foot to fire 50mm shells while looking through the cross hairs of his tank periscope. North America introduced cars with automatic transmission as far back as the 1950s. My U.S. graduate brother returned home from his studies in the late 1980s with an automatic transmission licence. He eventually succeeded in teaching himself to drive a manual transmission car but it cost my late father the gearbox of his manual transmission Mitsubishi Gallant. Some countries have long introduced separate licences for automatic cars. A manual licence will allow the driver to drive both manual and automatic vehicles but an automatic transmission licence holder can only drive automatic transmission cars. In Singapore for example, a Class 3 licence holder can drive both manual and automatic transmission cars while a Class 3A licence holder allows you to drive automatic transmission cars only. There are already concerns here that the introduction of the automatic transmission licence would see the increase in the number of cars on the already congested roads of most cities and towns in the countries. I personally think it is the ease of buying cars, with some institutions offering 100 per cent financing, that contributes to the increase. I foresee an increase in the number of licenced drivers. Rahim himself anticipates that more people, especially older learners and women, would prefer to drive a car with automatic transmission as it is a lot easier. Men, too, prefer to drive automatic transmission cars these days. My brother, who can drive both manual and automatic transmission cars now, prefers his own ride to be automatic. When we have to hire an MPV for long distance travels, he would insist on automatic transmission too. I wonder, however, if the authorities would make it tougher now to get the driving licence, now that it is easier to drive. I would rather that the authorities look at the current syllabus to also include defensive driving. Some international reports showed that those who attended defensive driving courses can reduce accident rates by as much as 80 per cent. Whatever it may be, the move is better late than ever. I may just get my wish to be taught how to drive in an automatic transmission car and be tested in one too but unfortunately, Dr Ling will not be the one who would be the tester. * First appeared in NST Comment pages on January 20, 2012

Malloy, getting new driver’s license, inadvertently shrugs aside REAL
During a news conference this morning in the Capitol about voter rights, Gov. Dannel Malloy revealed that he did not opt for the advanced-security provisions of the 2005 federal REAL-ID law when he recently obtained a new driver’s license. But it’s not because he agrees with civil libertarians that the REAL-ID Act is an invasion of civil rights by offering higher levels of ID to native-born US citizens, with its little designation on the new license. He simply forgot to bring the necessary documents (passport, original birth certificate, original Social Security card) when renewed the licence with the now year-old Prospect Avenue home address. The Blogster asked him about it during the news conference, which had focused on voter-rights legislation planned for next month’s legislative session.

Wheel Repair Including Heavy Weight Trucks
Some major transport companies have installed GPS in the trucks to avoid these major accidents. In this way, the driver is obligated to drive only for 8 hours, he can’t break the speed limit, and he will have to adhere to the rules of the road. While the initial costs are higher, it will pay off in the long term. One thing is that the price of being in an accident is going to be avoided. Also, people will see your company as noble in making the effort to ensure safety and reliability. the expense with insurances will be lowered, as an insurance company would have to take fewer risks if your trucks have GPS installed. In reality, a lot of insurance companies will propose a unique package deal with special advanced services for all your trucks.

Pass the Written CDL Test
Drivers of buses, trucks and other commercial vehicles need to obtain a commercial driver’s license (CDL). In addition to a driving test, the requirements for obtaining a CDL include a written test. The test has material that does not appear on the licensing test for noncommercial vehicles. Accordingly, preparing for and passing the written CDL test requires additional study and time. Test takers should use as many available resources as possible to pass the written CDL test. They can then pass the first hurdle to a rewarding career as a commercial driver.

What do Divorce and a Driver’s License Have in Common?
Before the final decree is granted, most states require a co-parenting class, which can be taken online (without the other spouse even being there), and runs anywhere from 4 – 8 hours and tells you not to speak about your ex in a negative way, there is a mandatory waiting period from filing the paperwork, after hiring an attorney, unless you live in New Hampshire, and you will probably have to meet the judge at least once. It might take years or months, but with or without a trial, you will get divorced and there will be no jail time involved, unless you are a complete moron.
