How to Get Your New York Driving Record

Every licensed New York driver has a driving record that is used by the state to keep track of how many violations and accidents you have had. The information on your driving record is used to assess future renewals of your license, as well as any suspensions or surcharges. Yet despite the importance of this document, most New York drivers have very little knowledge of what's actually on their records.

What's On My New York Driving Record?

In short, your driving record is an account of all your personal information, along with your driving history. It has a lot of the same information as your New York State driver's license, and also a brief account of your driving history. This can include:

Contact Information: Your name, date of birth, and mailing address.Class: What kinds of vehicles you are authorized to drive, as well as any endorsements or restrictions you may have (wearing glasses, for example).Status: Whether your license has expired or not, or if there are any suspensions or revocations applied to you.Violations: A summary of any moving violation convictions you may be carrying on your license. If you have taken a defensive driving course to erase points from your record, the change will be reflected here.

Where Can I Get My Driving Record?

It's easy to see why it's a good idea to keep an updated copy of your driving history, or at least know what information is found on there. Fortunately, there are several ways you can obtain your driver record from the New York Department of Motor Vehicles.

Via Telephone: You can call your local DMV branch to request a copy. You will be asked to provide information from your driver license to prove your identity, and you must have a credit card to pay the fees. The search fee is $10, and the processing fee is $5. Your record should arrive within 2 weeks.

Via Mail: So long as you have a Driver's Privacy Protection Act (DPPA)-permissible use for the abstract, you can mail in a request by filling out an MV-15 form. You must include both a photocopy of your proof of identity, and a check or money order. The fee is $10.

Via the New York DMV: So long as you bring proof of identity, a completed MV-15C form, and the $10 search fee, you can walk down to the local DMV office and get a copy the same day.

Via the Internet: The easiest and least expensive way is to get your driving record online, and there are a number of places you can get it. If you are already enrolling in a defensive driving online course, you can get a copy of your record during signup. You can also visit the DMV website, sign up for the MyDMV Get My Driving Record application and pay the $7 fee, you can immediately download, print, and save a certified copy.

Tricks to Getting Better Gas Mileage

The fuel prices today are simply depressing. Does it really cost almost four dollars for one tank of gas? For people who are on a tight budget, keeping a fuel tank full can be troubling. Worry not, because there are a few solutions to getting better gas mileage on a daily basis. Not only can this help you save money and gas, it can also benefit the environment at the same time! Continue reading to learn these tips and tricks to getting better gas mileage, no matter what type of vehicle you drive.

Routine Car Maintenance

Having your car in optimal condition drastically improves the amount of miles it gets per gallon of gas. This includes oil changes, tire rotations, brake services, engine cleanings, tune-ups, and much more. Keeping your car in a condition that it can perform at its best reduces the amount of work the engine has to do to operate the vehicle. Factory scheduled maintenance is crucial for any vehicle you own. It has a huge influence on how long your vehicle will survive and how fast it uses its fuel.

Tire Pressure

Surprisingly, the amount of pressure you have in your tires can influence the amount of gasoline consumption. This is because low tire pressure forces a car to exert more energy and work harder to get from one place to the next. This uses a lot of fuel. Be sure to check your tires on a monthly basis, and do not let radial tires trick you. They can sometimes look completely inflated, but actually be low on pressure.

Car Air Conditioning Usage

It is hard to not always blast your vehicle's AC on a scorching hot summer's day. Unfortunately, the frequent use of a car's air conditioner uses a lot of fuel. Try to roll down windows and keep a cool drink in your cup holder. These are ways you can avoid using too much AC and wasting all your fuel. Also, try parking in shady areas to keep the car cool when not in use.

Avoid Aggressive Driving

Quick stops and sudden starts is often referred to as jackrabbit driving. Aggressive and abrupt driving habits can not only use up a lot of fuel, it can potentially damage your vehicle. If this describes your driving, try to slow down in the future. Relaxed driving keeps your car at a comfortable status and reduces the amount times you have to fill up.

Game day with the Catawba Military Gaming Society

So, there is a wargaming club in the Charlotte NC area that am proud to have been a part of, some ten years back now, when my Wife and I lived in Rock Hill (in the outskirts of the greater Charlotte Area).

 We were visiting family in the area this weekend, and I got to spend the day, gaming with the Catawba Military Gaming Society (CMGS).  The game was a WW2 miniatures game set during the Kursk campaign on the eastern front.  It use, of course, the rules called Battlegroup Kursk from Iron Fist Publishing.  This was a really satisfying game. I got to play as a commander on the Russian side, in a sort of modified meeting engagement battle.  On our side, we had a company of T-34/76 tanks, and a company of truck mounted infantry.  Three of the T-34s were carrying squads of SMG armed tank riders.  Along with this, we had a T-70 tank, in a scouting mode, and also a sniper team, and assorted infantry support units (a small howitzer, a heavy machine gun, several light machine guns, etc).

Facing us was a German force, with a platoon of PzIVh tanks, and a platoon of StuG-IIIs.  Supporting this was some German infantry, again they were truck mounted, and a few support elements which included a half track towing a Pak38 5cm gun. It was a good scenario, and big thanks to Jerry Frazee for running it.

The game has an interesting feature in that each side has a total of points, derived from the units they have, called something like Battle Points (BP).  Every time a loss is sustained (either losing a terrain objective, or losing an AFV or infantry unit), the losing side draws a chit from a cup, representing a loss of points (kept secret) from the total of BP that the side started with.  Once one side hits 0 (zero) then they lose the game.  Elegant.  And it encouraged the capture of terrain objectives, which is always a good thing.

The game is a basic I-Go, You-Go type turn sequence, with basic movement rates for infantry and vehicles, depending on their movement mode (cross country or road), and each turn, when an element is activated it has a few choices.  It can go for a close assault move, or it can choose a sequence combining movement and shooting, getting two options to combine (resulting in either move-move, move-shoot, shoot-move, or shoot-shoot).  Or, you can put your unit in a watch mode - either Ambush Fire (works like overwatch does in many games) or on Reactive Move (the move version of overwatch).  Both of those, we learned in our game, are very important, and can contribute greatly to the tactical flexibility of your army.

The number of elements that you can activate each turn is determined by a dice toss.  Roll 2d6 and add to that a number representing the strength of your command structure, the result is the number of activations you can do in the turn.  A decent sized game will have you with more elements than you have command points each turn, so there will always be something you want to activate that you did not quite have time to do this turn.  This type of command structure has always appealed to me, as it leaves the player with tough choices each turn.  Certain types of command elements have special orders that they can issue, and the different nationalities have different special commands open up to them.  For instance, on the Russian side, we had an infantry commander, who could for the price of one activation point, activate all infantry units within 5" of his model, if they were going to do a forward facing full move (basically, a move-move sequence).  This was done several times by the brave heroes of the Revolution, in our game.

Shooting is done by measuring range, rolling to observe (if it is direct fire), then rolling for effect (getting hits).  The defender may or may not get a saving throw depending on the type of unit, and if it is in cover or not.  Elements that don't save are killed.  A unit that takes hits must then pass morale or become "pinned". A Pinned unit may do nothing until it is unpinned.

There are several observer units on each side of the battlefield, as well as an enumerated list of off board artillery assets.  Each side may activate an observer unit (many Germany command and recon elements can also serve as Observers, on the Russian side of the battlefield, not so many) and use it to call in off board artillery.  The method is very similar to other modern games - roll to make the request (typically a 3+ on a single d6), roll to be on target (the worse you roll at this point, the more the barrage drifts), roll for distance and direction of drift, have the barrage land.  Once it lands, it is not so very deadly, as it is irritating.  The falling barrage tends to put target units under it's template (a limited number, not all of them, typically) into a pinned status.

As mentioned, everytime a loss is suffered, a chit is pulled that deducts from your BP total.  At the end of a turn, a commander can also decide to pull a chit, in exchange for being able to unpin 1d6 units.  Very touchy decision - after all, your dice roll could always be a 1, or it could be a 6.  Do you take this "unpin" option when only one of your units is pinned (even if it is a unit that is crucial to your assault plans?) or do you wait until you have 3, 4, or 5 units pinned, so hopefully you will get your "money's" worth, by taking a BP chit, in exchange for the chance to unpin friendlies.

All in all, a very nice set of rules.  I liked it a lot.  There is just enough "Chrome" here to make it feel like WW2 (and not Space Marines, Russian Civil War, pirate skirmish, or any number of other game experiences, that a more generic ruleset could feel like).  Yes, the rules are simple.  Yes, it is all based on D6 (close assaults, for instance, involve rolling - admittedly small - buckets of dice).  But it is still, in my opinion, a good game.  And a much better, and more flexible system, than say Flames of War.

The game was played at the excellent games/comics store Parker, Banner, Kent & Wayne.  This is an excellent FLGS in the old school.  Tons of gaming stuff on hand, loads of game tables, lots of smiling staff, and regulars, hanging around ready to talk about games or gaming.  I immediately fell in love with the store.  If I still lived in the Charlotte area, I could easily see myself becoming a regular here.

I don't know the history of the ruleset, but from what I have heard through the rumor mill, this was going to be the WW2 ruleset that the Warhammer Historical rules publishing house was going to release.  Before the knuckleheads responsible decided to ashcan the whole Warhammer Historicals project.  I am glad that Battlegroup Kursk got published.  I understand there is already a book out covering the army lists and scenarios for the invasion of Fortress Europa, called something like Battlegroup Normandy.  Well, good for Iron Fist.  I hope this one goes far, it deserves to.

PS - there is a line of supporting hard plastic miniatures, from the Plastic Soldier Company, that go along with the rules (or any other 15mm WW2 game, for that matter).  These models look great, seem to be pretty easy to assemble (I am thinking of ordering some Panzer IIIs for my North Africa collection), and are priced very nice.  There are also a wide number of models in 15mm available from Zvezda, that look great (in my opinion) and are priced very nice.  I think this is a great thing, but I do hope that future rules publishers will get away from having to have the complete package (rules, miniatures, support tools, etc).  One of the things that is so nice about historical miniatures is that your set of nicely painted miniatures can be used to play many, many different games, with many, many different rules.  Having the complete package gives new players who come from the Games Workshop experience, the idea that "to play game XXX I have to buy XXX miniatures".  That is always a good attitude to squash, in my opinion!

How to Drive Safely?

Drinking and driving is incredibly dangerous. You endanger your life and others' lives on the road. Drunken driving contributes too many fatal accidents. If you know you will be drinking, you should pick a designated driver or plan on taking a taxi.

If your car is well maintained, it is automatically safer. You will avoid most accidents caused by car issues. In the case of a collision, your car is more likely to protect you if it is well maintained.

Don't be distracted, tired, or upset. You need to be fully focused on the road. Avoid taking any medications that may cause drowsiness. Focus on the road and you will be much safer.

Observation skills are very important

You need to constantly observe the road. A car may try to cut you off. If you can anticipate being cut off, you can avoid the vehicle. Observation skills can help you anticipate and avoid accidents.

When it is dark out, you should use your lights. Headlights improve your visibility and ensure that other drivers can see you.

Street signs are out to warn you and make the road safer. You should look for street signs and obey them. It is also important to use your own judgment. If something seems wrong, proceed with caution.

If you run a red light, you are dramatically increasing your risk of collision. A car and even a pedestrian could be in the intersection. If you a run a red light accident by accident, remember to look for any other cars or other obstacles.

Turn on your indicator before changing lanes. This warns other drivers that you plan on changing lanes. Signal first, and then look to see if there is room for you to merge into the other lane. Give other drivers enough time to respond.

Check your mirrors constantly while you drive. This can also help you spot any reckless drivers or possible collisions. It is a good habit that makes you a much safer driver.

Trucks are big. This makes it difficult for truck drivers to see other vehicles on the road. You should give them more room than you would give a regular motorist. Don't try to cut off a truck driver. It takes trucks longer to come to a full stop. You may think that you can safely merge in front of a truck, but you could be incredibly wrong.

Only use your horn when necessary

Horns are loud and can be quite upsetting. Honking a horn unnecessarily can contribute to road rage.

Don't expect other drivers on the road to be nice or polite. Expect the worst, and you can better anticipate bad driving.

Car accidents can be quite dangerous and often fatal. These safe driving tips should help you become a safer and better driver. If you are ever in a car accident, contact a Huntington Beach car accident lawyer .

Some Rules You Have to Respect When You Drive

Being a good driver doesn't just mean knowing the basics and the more advanced techniques of maneuvering a Luxury SUV or any other car. It also means having the ability to follow rules and road signs and the ability to keep everyone within your radius safe. No matter how good you are at driving, if you don't know how to follow traffic rules, chances are you may become more prone to accidents, endangering not only yourself but the people around you as well.

To avoid road accidents as much as possible, here are some rules you have to respect when you drive:

Always Follow Road Traffic Signs

Following road traffic signs is very important. It spells the difference between life and death and danger and safety. These signs are put in place to keep everyone on the road safe and to avoid or at least minimize accidents that may occur. They also serve to provide drivers like you a warning on the potential dangers that you may encounter along the road.

Always Wear Safety Belts

It is always wise to wear safety belts while driving regardless of what type of car you have. Whether you are maneuvering a Luxury car or performance car, it always pays to be cautious and to never forget to wear your seatbelt when on the road. Seatbelts hold you in place in times of collisions. They prevent you from being thrown away from the car during abrupt stops or accidental crashes.

Never Fail to Make Signals When Making a Turn or When Changing Lanes

Not signaling when you intend to make a turn or want to change lanes is extremely dangerous. It can result to collisions, which could be fatal to both you and the other motorists. Remember, the pedestrians and other motorists are not psychics; they cannot anticipate and guess your every move on the road. You have to let them know what you are about to do by turning on your signal lights.

Avoid Tailgating

Keep your distance from the car ahead of you. Do not tailgate. If you crowd the car ahead of you, chances are you might smash right into it once the driver of that car suddenly brakes. While the latest Performance cars or any other modern car for that matter is equipped with traction control and anti-lock brake systems, they still cannot keep you from smashing into other cars if you are not careful.

Anticipate the Moves of the Other Drivers

Through your mirrors, watch the actions of the other drivers around you. Be very observant of the actions of pedestrians as well. Anticipate their every move and be ready to make a lane change or to step on your brakes when necessary. Be aware of the movements around you all the time and know where the other cars are in relation to yours. Know what's coming up ahead of you, what's happening behind you, and what's happening on either side of you. This way, you don't have to make sudden changes on your steering and you can avoid other problems that may arise from not being able to anticipate what's going to happen around you.

Respecting the rules of driving will not only benefit the people around you. It will benefit you as well. Always keep the rules in mind and make sure to follow them to make yourself safe while on the road.
