While major streets in larger cities and major inter-city roads are in fair to good condition, most other roads are in poor repair, badly lit, narrow, and often do not have marked lanes. Many roads, particularly in rural areas, are also used by pedestrians, animals, people on bicycles, and horse drawn carts that are extremely difficult to see, especially at night. Road travel can be particularly dangerous when roads are wet or covered with snow or ice. This is especially the case concerning mountain roads.

    Extractions: Home Getting Around Germany Driving www.texhwyman.com/regeln.htm Below is a rather complete overview of the German traffic code based on my interpretation. This information is from a variety of sources including the 1987 Fahren Lernen driver's education manual and the 1993 official Straßenverkehrs-Ordnung (Road Traffic Ordinances) distributed by the Federal Transport Ministry as well as numerous contributions by readers. Special thanks to Tino Haderlein and Wolfgang Meyenberg for their review of these pages. CONTENTS The most important section here for foreigners is the right-of-way discussion. LICENSING If you are visiting Germany and will not be establishing residency, then your current driver's license is valid in Germany indefinitely. If you will be residing in Germany, your driver's license is valid for six months from the date when permanent residency is established. After that, you will have to obtain a German driver's license. (If your residency will be for longer than six months but less than one year [you will need proof of this], you can obtain a six month extension to use your existing license.) If you're using a foreign license to drive in Germany, you're supposed to carry an official translation of your license in addition to the license itself, but if you speak the language well enough, I've found that you should be OK. If you should get into a situation where you need to have a translation, you can get one from the ADAC automobile club for about €40. If you want to have a bit of "insurance", you can take care of this before arriving by getting an International Driver's License (IDL) in your home country. In the US, these are available from AAA for about US$20. (My recommendation: get an IDL before you go better safe than sorry.) Keep in mind that an IDL does not replace your official driver's license it is just a translation of it in an internationally recognized format. You must carry your official license with your IDL.

    Extractions: How State Laws Prevent Young-Driver Tragedies by Al Karr The pattern is all too familiar. An auto packed with teenage joyriders spins out of control one night on the highway. The aftermath is much more devastating than mangled metal and broken glass. People are dead. You read about it in your local newspaper. The combination of youth, inexperience, alcohol, darkness and heightened excitement can be deadly. But increasingly, and with great speed, states are doing something about it. So-called graduated driver licensing, or GDL, laws phase-in teenage driving privileges during the course of two or more years. The laws promise to take control of the early driving experience and to reduce significantly the death toll from crashes that involve young drivers. States in this country began to enact GDL laws in 1996 based on similar laws enacted since 1994 in Canada and New Zealand. At recent count, 31 states and the District of Columbia had passed full-scale graduated licensing laws, 21 of them effective since the start of 1999, including Washington, West Virginia, Idaho, Tennessee, and Washington, D.C. About a dozen others have enacted piecemeal GDL laws. "It has been remarkable that so many states have acted so rapidly," said Steve Blackstone, director of state and local relations for the National Transportation Safety Board, which investigates transportation crashes.

    Extractions: w-harms@uchicago.edu Results from a national survey indicate strong public support including substantial majorities among gun owners for legislation to regulate firearms, make guns safer, and reduce the accessibility of firearms to criminals and children. Key findings include: *Three-fourths of gun owners support mandatory registration of handguns, as does 85 percent of the general public. *Government regulation of gun design to improve safety gets support from 63 percent of gun owners and 75 percent of the general public. *Two thirds of gun owners and 80 percent of the general public favor mandatory background checks in private handgun sales, such as gun shows. The survey was conducted by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago in collaboration with the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research with funding from the Joyce Foundation. The findings and analysis of the survey are being distributed to legislators and policymakers throughout the country. "Recent tragic events have reminded us all of the enormous problem of gun violence in America and that people strongly support measures to promote gun safety and to regulate firearms," said Tom Smith, director of the General Social Survey at NORC and author of the report

    http://www.turnto10.com/news/1958445/detail.html
    
    Extractions: Attorney General Patrick Lynch on Wednesday announced legislation that would toughen Rhode Island's drunken driving laws. The proposed changes would bring state law into line with the federal standard of .08 blood-alcohol content. Currently, drunken drivers in Rhode Island face only civil penalties for a first offense, unless they cause a crash resulting in a death or serious injury. "Civil infractions are not enough. We need to raise our standards and demand more responsibility, not less," Lynch said. If the state does not make driving with a .08 blood-alcohol content a criminal infraction, it will lose more than $17 million in federal transportation funds. Lynch said the legislation would also lead to consistency in sentencing. "By doing this, we will give our judges the tools they need to sentence cases fairly and in a way that reflects the will of law-abiding citizens," he said.

    Extractions: Most states require car owners to buy a minimum amount of bodily injury and property damage liability insurance before they can legally drive their cars. All states have financial responsibility laws. This means that people involved in an automobile accident will be required to furnish proof of financial responsibility up to certain minimum dollar limits. To comply with financial responsibility laws, most drivers purchase automobile liability insurance. limits (1) Alabama Kentucky North Dakota Alaska Louisiana Ohio Arizona Maine Oklahoma Arkansas Maryland Oregon California (2) Massachusetts Pennsylvania Colorado Michigan Rhode Island Connecticut Minnesota South Carolina Delaware Mississippi South Dakota D.C.
