DMV ET-AL

DMV, DDL, & their gluttonous, slothful, demanding, intrusive, inflexible, overlording ways & means are going to be replaced with streamlined, efficient, justifiable, minimal-involvement Organizations & Personnel; some of those being in Competitive Commerce. 

​

Commercial operating concerns for Homeland Security, highway safety, Driver approval, Transportation Businesses, & etc are going to receive first & utmost attention.  I spent twenty years as a Commercial Driver, Commercial Driver Instructor, Commercial Driver Training School Owner & Director, & Expert Witness or Consultant in & for Truck-Tractors, Trucks, Combination Units, Coaches, & Cars.  I know first-hand, after training 370 Candidates to inspect, adjust, service, drive, record, report, & etc – that passing a basic DMV test is next to worthless in quality.  There's the DMV way of doing things, & there's the reality way of doing things.  Regulators, have never been required to have any experience in Commercial Transportation, & they cannot even begin to understand the differences between bureaucratic 'thinking' & the ways of thinking like the rest of us.  Very few of Kalifornia DME Examiners in Class-A & Class-B testing, have a Class-A or Class-B CDL.  "The Vehicle Code is VERY CLEAR", as they like to say, & that Code has no requirement-exceptions for DMV Personnel.  The Examiner you see in A or B testing, probably drives a Prius or a Subaru.   That's going to be ended & rebuilt as-if competitive. 

​

I've also ridden motorcycles & driven automobiles for about 50 years; maybe longer than some Candidates have been alive, & maybe longer than some of them have even been considered an adult.  Bureaucracies stick with "their-own".  Traffic Studies are done by public-trough bureaucrats.  Rules are made by public-trough bureaucrats.  Fees, charges, assessments, fines, taxes, property-seizures, imminent-domain land-grabs are effected & enforced by public-trough bureaucrats.   

​

For example, why do you get stuck in Construction-Zone traffic retardations that are allowed to be committed during daytimes & commuting hours?  Because bureaucrats don't care if you're fired for tardiness.  Bureaucrats don't care if the stop & wait, stop & go, stop & slow, slow & go travelling requirements cause your machine to break-down from overheating, undercharging, or etc.  They don't care about us. 

​

I'll keep the road-construction delaying actions off-limits from peak travelling times at all times even remotely possible, & the Crews will often work nights while traffic is minimal.  They'll close fewer lanes.  We've all seen three lanes closed because one needs attention, but there'll be no more of that.  No more of that! 

. 

Private travelling, ownership of automobiles & related, & so-forth has been a GOLDMINE for parasitic revenue generation, violations of the Bill Of Rights, & so-forth.  That's going to change for the better, by far.  Not better for the way they like things to favor them; better for We, the People & the way we like things to be done.  We're the Master; they're the servant.  We allow them the PRIVILEGE of serving us in public-service employment, elected & appointed Offices, contracting, & etc.  Servants don't grant Masters privileges.  Private travel is going to become a RECOGNIZED RIGHT & that won't affect highway safety one little bit, the way I'll do it.  Commercial uses & operating on the highways, though, will not be a Right.  Business absolutely needs commercial transportation in order to survive, but it won't be free or ungoverned for them.  That said, it'll be preferable to the way things have been done in the past. 

​

Commercial Drivers will still be expiry-licensed & required to undergo periodic refresher-courses & physical examinations.  Their private travels will be fully protected in the same ways that non-Commercial Drivers will enjoy.  Private operators will be CERTIFICATED, not 'licensed'.  The training, testing, & etc will be much the same, but there will be no expiry of a 'Certificate'. 

 

Restrictions, as fitting, may be applied to the Certificate, for punitive or preventive-safety reasons, but freedom to travel may NOT be prohibited by suspension, revocation, or etc.  Limits such as during fair visibility, only; during daylight, only; no Interstate Freeways, or etc, may be a few examples of responsible management & accountability, while many other reasons may also exist.  Those will be determined at a future time. 

​

When a Certificate Holder receives restrictions, they will NOT be held to them until the eleventh non-holiday weekday following their being NOTIFIED of such.  No restrictions will be effective or enforceable until then.  Being 'notified' will require the burden of proof on the State entity; no means of 'notifying' will be "considered" (as they like to say) notice. The Tulare County Courts & civilian peace officers get the credit for this improvement.  They let people drive to Court, & if they're prohibited from driving by the Court, the civilian peace officers are laying-in-wait to arrest them afterward when they return to their machines.  They then arrest & jail them.  That heavy-handedness & other examples of such, are GOING to be ENDED.  The effective-date will be the eleventh non-holiday weekday after the Court decision, & no sooner.  Families have to adjust many things to accommodate the temporary arrangements, & life is about people, not about LAWS.  Necessary travel, will not be prohibited.  Convenience travel, recreational travel, or etc, might be restricted.
