WA - driving is a PRIVILEGE they GRANT to you

[Big Al]

I too misread the information, my issue is Traffic. However I have a fellow worker that is having a Family Law issue and I passed on the link to him. Thank you for that help scooter dog. My question is the same as planetmark's.

But, in response, and not to derail this thread [i.e. please no more comments on this subject in this thread], I appreciate your encouragement and assistance in the family law matter. And I recognize your impatience to see me end my troubles, as you seem certain this can happen in quick order. I'm working on it. I feel the pressure of time every second of every day. This stupid court system counts weeks like we count days or even hours. What I think should take a day, the court takes a week, sometimes two, to take care of. I'm reading the material you gave me. I got Dennis' number and website. Thank you.

Now back to our regularly schedule thread topic.

planetmark,

What specific code do you refer to out of the RCW when talk about a "regular drivers license?"

PlanetMark,

Sweed may have a point.

RCW 46.25.005
Purpose — Construction.

(1) The purpose of this chapter is to implement the federal Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 (CMVSA), Title XII, P.L. 99-570, and reduce or prevent commercial motor vehicle accidents, fatalities, and injuries by:

(a) Permitting commercial drivers to hold only one license;

(b) Disqualifying commercial drivers who have committed certain serious traffic violations, or other specified offenses;

(c) Strengthening licensing and testing standards.

(2) This chapter is a remedial law and shall be liberally construed to promote the public health, safety, and welfare. To the extent that this chapter conflicts with general driver licensing provisions, this chapter prevails. Where this chapter is silent, the general driver licensing provisions apply.

[1989 c 178 § 2.]

something you have never been taught"what our founding fathers believed about government. you have never heard that
Jefferson, Madison, Adams, and the majority of the founding fathers passionately distrusted government, believing that it is
a necessary evil"that government is necessary for the protection and well being of citizens, but that inevitably, it will
betray them. For this reason, the fathers insisted, citizens must be educated, informed, and highly vigilant. Therefore,
mistrust of government is not unpatriotic, but rather, the essence of what our founding fathers believed as they constructed
our Constitution, and that very mistrust dictated the kind of Constitution they created.

into the world with a right to his own person, which includes the
liberty of moving and using it at his own will. This is what is
called personal liberty, and is given him by the Author of nature,
because necessary for his own sustenance." --Thomas Jefferson:
Legal Argument, 1770.

Government is not reason. It is not eloquence. It is a force, like fire: a dangerous servant and a terrible master".
-George Washington



Government, in my humble opinion, should be formed to secure and to enlarge the exercise of the natural rights of its
members; and every government, which has not this in view, as its principal object, is not a government of the legitimate kind.
James Wilson, Lectures on Law, 1791



If the public are bound to yield obedience to laws to which they cannot give their approbation, they are slaves to those

who make such laws and enforce them.
