- When you pick up the telephone to call someone, whether it is a friend, family member or a business acquaintance, it is wise to know what you are going to say. This is particularly true when you pick up the telephone to call your local emergency services: your local or state police, county sheriff, highway patrol, fire department, paramedics or rescue squad. This is an effort to help you know what to say.

Dave's Miscellaneous Driving Information:
- HONK TO PASS became FLASH TO PASS in California on Jan. 1, 1997. In the following Vehicle Code section, the bold type shows the new text:
- Section 21753. "Except when passing on the right is permitted, the driver of an overtaken vehicle shall give way to the right in favor of the overtaking vehicle on audible signal or the momentary flash of headlights by the overtaking vehicle, and shall not increase the speed of his vehicle until completely passed by the overtaking vehicle."
- If the traffic signals at an intersection are "dark" because of a power outage, California law requires that you treat the intersection as if it had "STOP" signs all the way around. You aren't supposed to barrel through the intersection, even if it's a major street.
- Section 21800 (d)(1). "The driver of any vehicle approaching an intersection which has official traffic control signals that are inoperative shall stop at the intersection, and may proceed with caution when it is safe to do so."
- California State Hwy 17 runs from Santa Cruz to Interstate 280. In the Los Gatos-Campbell-San Jose area, Highway 17 has interchanges at Los Gatos-Saratoga Road, Lark Avenue, Highway 85, Camden Avenue-San Tomas Expressway and Hamilton Avenue. Highway 17 changes to Interstate 880 at Interstate 280. Therefore, there is no such location as I-880 and Hamilton Avenue. There is no such location as I-880 and Camden Avenue. Please keep this in mind when reporting things to the Highway Patrol or when writing to Mr. Roadshow.

Dave's vehicles:
- I have owned the following vehicles over the years: white 1964? Chevrolet El Camino, black/yellow 1974 Plymouth Satellite Sebring, brown 1975 Honda CB550, red 1976 Honda CB750, brown 1978 Chevrolet pickup, yellow 1979 Ford Fairmont, silver & blue 1982 Honda CB750, two-tone green 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, 1985 Mallard motor home (1/2), white 1992 Ford Explorer XLT, red 1992 Honda CB750 Nighthawk, white 1994 Lincoln Town Car Signature Series.
- On January 8, 2000 I purchased a superbly-maintained and well-documented States Blue Pearl 1996 Harley-Davidson FLHR-I Electra Glide Road King motorcycle with Sequential Port (fuel) Injection, from T.L. Mitchell. Will owning a Harley-Davidson ("made in America since 1903") cause life-style changes (smoking, drinking, tattoos)? We'll see. And no, I don't plan to get a sidecar for Barney (although they do make them).
No, as a matter of fact, I have not been to Hawai'i . . . yet. Do you have any suggestions?
August 18, 2003: I have been to: AR AZ CA CO CT FL IA ID IL IN KS KY LA MA MD ME MI MN MO MS MT NE NH NJ NM NV NY OH OK OR PA SD TN TX UT VA VT WA WI WV WY (41 states).
I have also been to Europe: Austria, England, France, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, The Netherlands and Switzerland. But I won't brag because it was so long ago that I can't remember very much of it.
On October 20, 2003 I removed "Family E-mail," "Friends E-mail," and "Friends from Work E-mail" when I received a junk spam message containing numerous e-mail addresses that I recognized, and that had apparently been harvested from my site.
