Homeland Security and the FBI have issued an alert for small planes that may be used in attacks on 9/11/11. It is the ten year anniversary of the Twin Tower attack and everyone is on high alert. There are no special issues or positive threats, but everyone should be on alert. Small planes are the most accessible at the moment and can be flown from private airports under radar.

If the planes are loaded with explosives or chemicals for an attack, they can do major damage in a large city or community celebrations. Explosives are the biggest concern at the moment. Any small planes that refuses to identify themselves on 9/11 this year could be in serious trouble. All avenues are being watched in order to protect everyone in this country.

In case of chemical attack, it could cause major damage to cities with large populations and spread quickly across the country. If there is an attack, stay inside and wait for further instruction if you are not in the area. If you are in the area of the attack, leave. Remove yourself and family from the area quickly, but calmly.

Everyone in large cities and small towns need to be aware of unusual activity or requests on the days before and during 9/11. If you feel uncomfortable about a situation, contact your local law enforcement right away. Not only should you be aware of small aircraft, but if you see vehicles, vans or trucks in your area that are not normally there, report them to the authorities and let them investigate the situation.

If there is an attack, power could be out in the area for several days. Be sure to plan for water and food, emergency supplies and lighting. Have a family plan if you must leave and stay together during 9/11 celebration commemorations.

Be prepared to help with evacuation in an emergency or help with an emergency shelter. Providing food, clothing, bedding and stuffed toys for frightened children arriving from outside the area will help to comfort and calm nerves. Be kind and stay alert.

Point A multiple choice theory test online
The theory test is a computer-based test centers in several trials around the country.
This section is designed to test your understanding of the theory behind driving.  Before the test starting line will be given instructions on how the driving test.  You can also choose to go through a practice session for the multiple choice questions to get used to the design of the event online.  At the end of practice the real test will begin.  You have 57 minutes to complete the test.  It is a workout in 15 minutes, you can work through before starting the tests.  The questions in each multiple choice test driving theory test varies by class of vehicle you’re hoping to get a license, ie a motorcycle driving test includes specific questions that are not included in ‘Another issue that test.  A question and several answer options will appear onscreen and you must choose the correct answer to the question of touching the screen.  Some questions may require more than one answer.  You can navigate between questions and issues “flag” to return to later in the test.  After the multiple choice can select a three minute break before the risk perception begins.  For cars and motorcycles will be asked 50 random multiple choice questions in 57 minutes and must obtain at least 43 people to pass.  For trucks and buses will be asked 60 questions in 70 minutes and the pass mark is 51 by 60  The cost of testing the theory is £ 28.50

Hazard perception test B.

After the outbreak of the test online, then showed a short video tutorial on how a part works risk perception.  This forms a second part of the line and the theory test must be passed at the same time.  This section is designed to test their knowledge of potential hazards while driving.  Part of the perception of risk also comes at a computer, but responds to a mouse click.  Will be presented with a series of 14 video clips of approximately one minute each, all the scenes of road per day.  In each clip there will be at least one of the dangers of development, but one of the clips will feature two developing hazards.  Videos are different types of risks such as road conditions, vehicles and pedestrians.  The earlier you spot a hazard developing that may require the driver to take certain measures, the higher the score.  There are 15 scores comfortable hazards tests and candidates can score a maximum of 5 points on each hazard.  Unlike multiple-choice questions to test the perception of risk is no different versions for different vehicles, such as cycling, cars, etc. trucks each vehicle category takes the same test, however, the minimum for leave pass different for different  categories of evidence.  You will not be able to review answers to the test of the perception of danger, and on the road, the only one able to respond to development risk.  The minimum components required for the theory test hazard perception of the car and motorcycle is 44-75.  For trucks and buses passing mark is 50 by 75

1. Don’t quickly accelerate out of a stop light or stop sign
2. On the highway try not to brake, because when you do the engine has to adjust to speed
3. Use cruise control when you can.  It keeps an engine running at an efficient revolutions per minute
4. Keep your tires inflated to the designated amount of pounds (air)
5. Keep your regular maintenance up with oil changes, fuel injector cleaning and correct compression
6. Use only the petroleum grade that your vehicle NEEDS, such as 87 octane for most.  Most of the time people put higher octane level fuel into their vehicle because they feel it will run better. 

As I was driving south on one of the major residential boulevards here in the west end of Toronto I was impressed at how empty the streets were at 4 am. Just a few buses on the regularly scheduled routes, and me. Normally even these residential streets are rather busy.

Approaching the west-bound intersection where I would need to turn I was fast approaching a car standing in the middle of the southbound lane, with the four-way flashers on and driver-side door open. Someone clearly had just stopped their car and got out as if to make a delivery.

What’s It Doing?

There was no traffic lights or stop sign here, just a straight away. Why was this car just stopped there with the 4-way flashers on?

My first thought was that there was a collision. Vehicle/pedestrian incident. Something or someone had been struck.

In the twilight of the streetlamps I could see someone taking strides towards the open door of the car and getting in. I was approaching at the speed limit, but not actually decelerating yet. I guess I wanted to get a point across that they were parked or ’standing’ in an unsafe spot, illegally.

As I got closer to the car I could see the reflective letters emblazoned across the trunk of the car “PARKING ENFORCEMENT.” It was none other than lovely Rita, Meter Maid citing illegally parked cars on both sides of the street. A Traffic Cop, citing illegally-parked cars while itself, standing in the middle of the lane.

She pulled her police cruiser over to the side of the road thus allowing me to pass safely.

Opps!

I was rather nervously watching my rear-view mirror to see if I might be pursued, for at 4 am a car that rolls up as fast (but within the speed limit) and decelerates at the last few seconds is usually …an impaired driver. I was not followed.

Can you imagine the difference to the environment if everyone in the world made an effort to drive smart? Just think of the tonnes of pollution emitted by idling vehicles every year.

Vehicles are a major source of pollution world wide. They are also expensive. Expensive to buy, expensive to insure, expensive to drive.

Drive smart – save green, is a catch phrase we all need to remember every time we get in the vehicle. The following is a list of some of the ways you can change your driving habits for the better.

1. Stop driving. Alright, not very practical I agree but it is the most obvious way to drive smart and save green. Another alternative would be to leave the car parked and walk, ride a bike, car pool or take public transport.
2. Slow down. The optimum driving speed for most vehicles is between 50 and 60 mph. This is the speed that most vehicles run the best and has the best fuel mileage.
3. Tires. Almost 20% of the fuel used by your vehicle is used to overcome tire roll resistance. That’s huge! Help your vehicle by using quality tires, keep them properly inflated and replace them when they wear out. The extra paid for good tires will be recovered in fuel savings.
4. Lighten the load. The heavier the vehicle, the more fuel it will take to keep it moving. Get rid of the extra stuff in the trunk that you don’t need. Keep this in mind when you are purchasing a vehicle as well. A long box, 1T, dually will cost more to operate than a short box, half ton.
5. Shut it off. Don’t leave your vehicle idling. It burns fuel and pumps unnecessary pollution into the environment, not to mention the fact that it is nasty for the people exposed to your exhaust. Have you ever come out of a store to find an idling vehicle parked beside you? Or had to park behind an idling vehicle while you wait to pick someone up? You vehicle fills up with exhaust from that idling vehicle and you can’t breath. Nasty!
6. Drive smoothly. Erratic driving, sudden acceleration or braking uses lots of gas – not to mention the wear and tear on your vehicle. Keep things smooth and you will have better fuel consumption and less chance of breaking something.
7. Maintenance. Keep your vehicle in optimum running condition. Regular oil changes and general maintenance will pay off in the long run, both for your pocket book and the environment.

Most of these tips are simply common sense but sometimes we need to be reminded of the benefits. Driving a vehicle is a luxury. You can probably survive without a car.

In any event, if you really want to drive smart and save green you will find a way to leave your vehicle parked a bit more and change your driving habits for optimum performance.

Tank Driving Instructions

First, learn the basic makeup of a tank because most main battle tanks have a Periscope, Gun mantlet, coaxial gun, bore evacuator, main gun, driver’s optics, driver’s hatch, glacis plate, continuous track, machine gun ammunition, commander’s machine gun, hatch or cupola, gun turret, turret ring, hull, engine air intake, engine compartment, armored skirt, drive sprocket, link, and road wheel system.  When you have learned the tank’s basic makeup, survey your area before entering your tank. Assess your immediate surroundings before entering your tank because your field of vision becomes limited when you are inside. Understand that you will be part of a three or four person tank crew, where you are the driver. Remember to avoid obstacles, unstable ground, steep slopes, and banks until you are more experienced with the tank because these objects may cause your tracked vehicle to turn over.

Second, enter your tank by using the step on the left front of your tank to climb onto the front of your tank. Find your driver’s escape hatch, which should be below the Tank turret. Raise and swing the hatch to the side before locking it in the open position. Climb inside your tank before closing and locking the hatch behind you. Remember how to unlock the hatch quickly because if your tank is penetrated by a projectile or missile weapon system, you need to leave quickly if you survive the hit.

Third, take a seat comfortably. The driver’s seat should be located in the center of the interior tank space and it is tilted backwards as a dentist’s chair because of the driving area’s low ceiling. Change the height and the angle of your seat until you become comfortable where you can see through the periscopes in front of your seat and you can reach the controls easily.

Fourth, recognize your tank’s measurements and instruments. Your driver’s master control panel sits to your right and instrument panel to your left. The instrument panel features your fuel level indicator and other measurements while the control panel holds the switches and knobs necessary to turn on the tank’s engines, fans, and other systems. The control system and measurements are usually marked. Your gearshift should be located atop the steering handle in front of you.

Fifth, examine your fuel gauge system. Inspect your fuel gauge on the instrument panel to your left to determine if you have enough fuel to drive the tank and reach your destination. Tank fuel consumption is measured in gallons per mile. You will need 10 gallons just to start the engine and about two gallons per mile when you get going. You can travel about 300 miles on a full tank of fuel.

Sixth, start your tank engine. Flick the silver ignition switch at the bottom left-center of your control panel up to the on position. The engine will warm up for about four to five minutes. You can speed up the warming process by revving the engine, twisting back the throttle on the right steering grip like a motorcycle grip.

Seventh, test your periscopes. The driver’s visual system consists of three periscopes that look like windshields. The two on either side of you allow you to view in front of the tank and to its left and right for about a 120-degree visual field. In between those two periscopes, you will find a central image-intensifying periscope, which looks straight ahead, for use in driving at night or in smoky or dusty situations.

Eighth, release your parking brake. The parking brake control is to the right of your steering handle. Pull on its black, T-shaped handle, twist and ease it downward to release it. Also, put the tank into gear. Pull the silver transmission selector knob above the steering handle and ease it into the D-drive section, second from the right. Begin driving your tank slowly because some tanks can accelerate from zero to 40 kilometers per hour in less than 10 seconds. Gently ease your throttle backwards to move ahead, slowly at first, twisting back further as you feel more comfortable when handling the tank at higher speeds. Also, steer your tank carefully. Guide your tank as you would a bicycle, snow-mobile, or motorcycle by rotating the steering handlebar to the left and right.

Ninth, listen for tread buildup because the tank’s treads can become disabled with debris. When the tank cease responding quickly to your steering and instrumental commands, you may have mud, sand, or some other substance built up on your tracks, which may cause the treads to come off the wheels, leaving the tank powerless, which is dangerous during combat operations. This buildup is usually revealed by a cracking or a popping sound. You should drive your tank forward over level ground until the cracking and popping sound ends, indicating that the tracks have cleared themselves. Additionally, put your brakes on when you have arrived at your destination. You come to a stop by easing your foot down on the service brake located on the floor beneath your steering handle. Before exiting the tank, reapply the parking brake by pulling the black T-shaped handle to your right.

Finally, be aware of potential problems. Put on protective head and body gear before entering your tank. Tank interiors are designed with levers, knobs, and other protruding objects that can seriously injure tank operating personnel. Don’t attempt to board a tank or get inside a tank while it is moving, no matter how slowly it is in motion. Wear noise-canceling headphones to protect your hearing because tank engines are very loud. Run the exhaust fan for five to six minutes for every hour you are on board because you may need to replenish the tank’s oxygen supply. Tank interiors are often nauseating and claustrophobic for many tank drivers because they are usually fill with the awful orders emanating from their gigantic engines.  Additionally, some of the best main battle tank vehicles to drive are the American M1 Abrams tank, Soviet T-72 tank, Soviet T-80 tank, Russian T-90 tank, Chinese Type-59 tank, Chinese Type 62 tank,  and Chinese Type 79 tank.

Warning to All Readers

The instructions in this article are not designed to replace professional military training. Do not ever attempt to drive any tank unless you have been given permission by qualified and legal military government authorities. Tank driving should only be executed by professionally trained military personnel who have been given permission by their respective governments.

I’m talking about a multiple function vehicle used by and made for SWAT teams. A SWAT team specialty vehicle is a multiple function vehicle that can serve as a nerve center, or command center in the field and equipped for emergency situations of all types. From weather related emergencies to civil incidents. The design of this custom transport vehicle needs to have technically able work areas for strategy. It needs to transport a team, equipment included for quick action where speed of implementation could be, literally, life and death. The description I’ve just provided is a custom transport vehicle designed for a SWAT team.

There are more examples of custom transport vehicles that are specially made for specific purposes. In this article I will discuss several examples of specialty custom transport vehicles and their benefits and features.

How about transporting prisoners? Safety and security are the most important aspects of this specialty vehicle – for obvious reasons. Some features include security walls with a sliding door as well as an electronic door locking system. In a specialty vehicle for prisoner transport, heavy duty walls, doors, lights and windows are needed so they’re all made of a heavy duty 9 gauges. The floors drain, and there is waterless urinals. There is an officer station in the rear of the vehicle as well as security camera systems throughout. Also included is emergency vehicle lighting. When it comes to prisoner transport, it’s not something to be taken lightly.

Somewhat related to the SWAT team transport vehicle is the mobile command vehicle. These specialty vehicles are for planning and protection of the community. The purpose is for speed and maneuverability. This allows for Special Forces and other law enforcement teams to be on the scene fast. Essentially, it’s a high tech office on wheels. Usually there are different floor plans to choose from based upon your specific needs, but here is a rundown of all the main things that are included. They are 911 capacities. Like the SWAT team transport vehicle, work stations and strategy rooms are made available. There are multiple radio locations and ample phone lines. There is even a private area for hostage negotiation, and hidden cameras and other equipment. There is plenty of storage for stuff like maps, diving suits, records and other equipment. Of course there are all the essentials like a diesel generator, furnace and hydraulic leveling jacks. Again, there are several floor plans to choose from. Seldom are mobile command unit special vehicles the same. You can design the right fit for your units’ needs.

Prior to the incident, the Parking Guards have earlier received instruction from the HRD disallowing any car of the Maybelle Hotel’s guests to park at the street facing the ramp of the Jeffrey Stark Inn because it really narrows down the turning space of the Jeffrey Stark driveway. Remembering the HRD instruction and likewise to avoid being screwed up by the management, the Parking Guard immediately approached the driver and politely requested him to move his car out of the Jeffrey Stark driveway. The guard courteously explained that it would really be too crowded for any vehicle to maneuver from the ramp because of his car being parked on the opposite side. He even cited the city ordinance against rampant use of this space and the appropriate action taken against violators. Ironically, the driver did not heed to the guard’s request and instead went on to park even closer to the opposite side facing the driveway. To avoid misunderstanding, the guard finally decided to stop appealing and quietly walked away – only to learn later that the said driver called up the Jeffrey Stark Inn’s HRD Department and broached out his complaint against him.

The next day, the poor guard received Memo from his agency ordering him to report to their office within 24 hours upon receipt of this memo. He found out later that he was requested by the Inn to be relieved and be replaced with a new guard on account of that incident.

During the investigator’s ocular inspection, it was noted that the topic of argument was the parking space located in front of the Maybelle Hotel facing and across the ramp of the Jeffery Stark Inn. In simple analysis, the width of the Doe Street is just good enough for the incoming and outgoing vehicles to turn to and from the Jeffrey Stark driveway. Nonetheless, it would be too constricted for the turning cars, especially big cars, if the opposite side of the street would be occupied by another parked vehicle. Forasmuch as it was a two-way road, any vehicle parked across the road facing the ramp would be an added difficulty for the vehicle to maneuver.

On the other hand, the parking guard was tasked to enforce the policy issued by their HRD. However, such kind of parking guidelines may always be susceptible to resistance from stubborn driver or car owners, rather  he would be subjected to complaint if he would insist to follow this order . The guards’ situation must therefore be well thought-out by the client and the agency – for the guard can never use force to oblige the driver to move his car out of the opposite side for smooth flow of traffic in and out of the driveway. What he can only do is to politely ask for understanding.

The agency on the other hand, whether it likes it or not, must recall back his guard to unit (RTU), to satisfy the client’s request. There is no more reasoning as far as the agency-clients relationship is concerned. It is purely business. But there is one lingering problem; the guard who was previously replaced has been in floating status (meaning “no-work-no-pay”) since then – for simple reason that the agency could not find a new client/post for his reassignment. And while patiently waiting for an assignment… for several months now, his family consequently goes through some rigid tightening of belt…and suffers.
