The Ubiquitous Department of Motor Vehicles

In the USA a life without a car is simply impossible. In the majority of cities the public transport is absent, therefore if you live in the USA, the assistant number one — the drivers license. The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is engaged in delivery of the driving license.

These are police divisions, the DMV offices are available in each State of the USA (Arizona DMV, Florida DMV, Texas DMV, California DMV, Utah DMV, Colorado DMV, Idaho DMV, Kansas DMV etc).

It's Necessary, For a True License:

To receive a driving license, it's necessary to pass test. At first you carry out written examination in the local DMV. For this purpose it's necessary to learn traffic regulations of a State, whose driving license you need. Here it's necessary to know that traffic regulations, requirements, laws, penalties and cost of examinations in the different US States is the different.

For access to the road test it's necessary to have ID (passport) and SSN. If you have no SSN (for example, you are in the USA under the tourist or educational visa) it's necessary to take the inquiry in the Social Security Office, for what reason you have no SSN. In some States instead of SNN it's possible to give the Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).

The Theory, Without a Practice — Nonsense!

Further solve absolutely simple driving test. After the rules theory you are obliged to carry out the vision test, and in some days to you «Learner’s permit» by mail come. For successful understanding of road rules I recommend the free DMV practice permit test.

Fiat 500 Twin Air

With consumers becoming increasingly strapped for cash and conscious of their impact on the environment, smaller engines and lower emissions are at the top of many a car buyer’s list. It was with this in mind that Fiat developed a 2-cylinder version of their popular 500 model. Perhaps surprisingly, the 2-cylinder engine produces 15% lower emissions and 24% more power than its 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder predecessor.

Not only does this make it cheaper, and a bit more fun, to drive, but it also makes it one of few petrol driven cars that is exempt from the congestion charge in London. Italian cars are becoming an increasingly popular buying choice both in Europe and the USA; and many people are using Fiat finance deals to purchase a new or used vehicle.

From a driver’s perspective, the 85 break horsepower generated by its super-light (85kg) engine gives the car a surprisingly nippy feel. In fact, it does 0-60 in under 11 seconds, which certainly isn’t bad for a car its size, especially when keeping its fuel-efficiency in mind, and will reach a top speed of 108mph. Starting from just over £10,500 and in combination with it’s low running costs, the 2-cylinder Twin Air is a perfect alternative for cash and environment conscious city drivers.

Never mind the small engine. Fiat Twin Air still is fun to drive and 92g/km CO2 emissions make it a road-tax exempt in many countries.
