Yeah the Cali legal definition of "driving" didn't specify what physical control meant, they probably consider keys in ignition as control. As for the DUI thing the police don't need to see someone commit a crime to accuse them of it, your acquaintance was parked on the side of the road in his car with the keys, no one else could've drove the car there and if he was still drunk when they found him then they can prove he was drunk when he parked it there, if the keys had been in his pocket they still would've charged him
1. Never spend more than $1000 (hope for $500) 2. Make sure it's not warm when you look it over and then test drive thoroughly 3. look for a car that has a good set of tires 4. purchase
Driving beaters is quite risky but if you choose a good vehicle, pay attention to it, and take care of it it could last you years and if you're lucky (and it still runs) you could sell it for the same amount you bought it
the law contradicts itself, it says you cant use a wireless telephone while driving unless its hands free, but the CA dmv says the law doesn't prohibit dialing a number so it would seem the law only prohibits using the device as a telophone not using the device at all (which is why there is a separate texting law)
Also the California definition of driving is "being in physical control" of the vehicle. Unless your engine is off or the car is in park(and you're not touching the pedals or wheel) you are still driving even if you don't move
I can see a very good reason why there can't be a cross walk there, blind spots. A car coming around those turns wouldn't have enough time to stop if there were a person in the way, people can stop and check for vehicles but vehicles cant stop and check for people
I do watch BBC, well BBC America, though the only thing I watch is Top Gear
