		<description><![CDATA[London/ Revealed by UMA (Universal Medical Associations) in a survey that people who use computers more, they get more eye damage than others.
And this is a fact today; we can not remove the computer from our own lives.
But yes we can try to avoid more losses to our eyes.
To avoid more damage, try to splatter cold water into your eyes 3 to 4 times a day to keep your eyes relax.
When you are working on the computer for several hours, try to give a look to anything placed on a distance after every 5 minutes, it will help you to preserve your eyesight.
So now NO Computer Rays will destroy your Eyes any more.

A well-respected surgeon was relaxing on his sofa one evening just after arriving home from work. As he was tuning into the evening news, the phone rang. The doctor calmly answered it and heard the familiar voice of a colleague on the other end of the line. &#8220;We need a fourth for poker,&#8221; said the friend.
&#8220;I&#8217;ll be right over,&#8221; whispered the doctor.
As he was putting on his coat, his wife asked, &#8220;Is it serious?&#8221;
&#8220;Oh yes, quite serious,&#8221; said the doctor gravely. &#8220;In fact, three doctors are there already!&#8221;

Introduction
This Highway Code applies to England, Scotland and Wales. The Highway Code is essential reading for everyone.

The most vulnerable road users are pedestrians, particularly children, older or disabled people, cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders. It is important that all road users are aware of the Code and are considerate towards each other. This applies to pedestrians as much as to drivers and riders.

Many of the rules in the Code are legal requirements, and if you disobey these rules you are committing a criminal offence. You may be fined, given penalty points on your licence or be disqualified from driving. In the most serious cases you may be sent to prison. Such rules are identified by the use of the words ‘MUST/MUST NOT’. In addition, the rule includes an abbreviated reference to the legislation which creates the offence. An explanation of the abbreviations can be found in &#8216;The road user and ...]]></description>

<h2><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Introduction</span></h2>
<p>This Highway Code applies to England, Scotland and Wales. The Highway Code is essential reading for everyone.</p>
<div>
<p>The most vulnerable road users are pedestrians, particularly children, older or disabled people, cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders. It is important that all road users are aware of the Code and are considerate towards each other. This applies to pedestrians as much as to drivers and riders.</p>
</div>
<p>Many of the rules in the Code are legal requirements, and if you disobey these rules you are committing a criminal offence. You may be fined, given penalty points on your licence or be disqualified from driving. In the most serious cases you may be sent to prison. Such rules are identified by the use of the words <strong>‘MUST/MUST NOT’</strong>. In addition, the rule includes an abbreviated reference to the legislation which creates the offence. An explanation of the abbreviations can be found in &#8216;The road user and the law&#8217;.</p>
<p>Although failure to comply with the other rules of the Code will not, in itself, cause a person to be prosecuted, The Highway Code may be used in evidence in any court proceedings under the Traffic Acts (see &#8216;The road user and the law&#8217;) to establish liability. This includes rules which use advisory wording such as ‘should/should not’ or ‘do/do not’.</p>
<p>Knowing and applying the rules contained in The Highway Code could significantly reduce road casualties. Cutting the number of deaths and injuries that occur on our roads every day is a responsibility we all share. The Highway Code can help us discharge that responsibility. Further information on driving/riding techniques can be found in ‘The Official DSA Guide to Driving &#8211; the essential skills’ and ‘The Official DSA Guide to Riding &#8211; the essential skills’.</p>

Each state has different driving laws
If you drive in the USA, remember that each of the 50 states has its own set of traffic laws and regulations. Fortunately, most of the laws are the same, but some states have slightly different rules. When you rent a car, you should ask the agent if there are any special driving rules in that state. When driving in multiple states, check a tour book for any special driving rules in each state.
Maximum speed limits in all states
The speed limit in most states is now 65 miles per hour (about 110 km/hr) except where signs indicate slower speeds. Many drivers travel about 5 mph above the legal limit and the police do not seem to mind. Speed limits are strictly enforced by radar in many states (especially the eastern highly populated areas). Speeding in any road construction area is strictly enforced with very heavy ...]]></description>

Many drivers travel about 5 mph above the legal limit and the police do not seem to mind. Speed limits are strictly enforced by radar in many states (especially the eastern highly populated areas). Speeding in any road construction area is strictly enforced with very heavy penalties in most states.</h5>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Minimum driving age</span></h3>
<div>
<h5>The minimum age for driving is 16 in most states but some states will not allow unrestricted driving until 18. Some car rental agencies refuse to rent a car to any person under 25 years of age. Other agencies will rent to young drivers but require an added surcharge. Some rental agencies in the US will not rent to drivers over 71 years of age.</h5>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Seat belts are required</span></h3>
</div>
<div>
<h5>Nearly all states have laws requiring the driver and front passengers to wear seat belts. Many states require children to wear seat belts even in the back seats. Nearly every state requires special child restraint seats for all young children. Most states require motorcyclists to wear helmets.</h5>
</div>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Radar Detectors illegal in some states</span></h3>
<h5>Some states permit you to use radar detectors, while other states prohibit them. Many people seem to ignore this prohibition. Some states require you to use daytime running lights during rain.</h5>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">trict enforcement of certain driving laws</span></h3>
<div>
<h5>The speed limit in front of every school is 15 mph when the warning lights are flashing. You are required to stop in both directions for any school bus with flashing lights. These rules are strictly enforced in every state and have severe penalties for disobedience. Drinking alcohol and driving is also forbidden and strictly enforced in all states.</h5>
</div>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">American Automobile Association Benefits</span></h3>
<h5>The American Automobile Association (AAA), commonly called the &#8220;triple A&#8221;, provides some wonderful services to drivers. They have offices in every city and most of the larger towns in the US. If you are a member of a national motor club in your home country, you can receive many of their benefits free of charge by simply showing your membership card. The AAA provides free maps and tourist guides for any city or state in the US. Many hotels offer discounted rates to AAA members.</h5>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The US highway system</span></h3>
<h5>The USA has an extensive system of interstate highways and state maintained roads. Some of the major highways are toll roads often called turnpikes, but most are free. All major interstate highways running north to south have odd numbers and are ordered from I-5 on the Pacific coast to I-95 along the Atlantic coast. All interstates running east to west are evenly numbered beginning with I-8 and I-10 near the Mexican border to I-94 near Canada.</h5>

<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">DUI Basics</span></h3>
<p>In every state, it is a crime for a driver to operate a vehicle while impaired by the effects of alcohol or drugs. Below you will helpful introductory information on the crime of driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI).</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Drunk Driving FAQ</span></h3>
<h3><strong>How drunk or high does someone have to be before he can be convicted of driving under the influence?</strong></h3>
<p>It&#8217;s illegal to drive a car while &#8220;impaired&#8221; by the effects of alcohol or drugs (including prescription drugs). This means that there must be enough alcohol or drugs in the driver&#8217;s body to prevent him from thinking clearly or driving safely. Many people reach this level well before they&#8217;d be considered &#8220;drunk&#8221; or &#8220;stoned.&#8221; In all states, an adult who has a blood alcohol content (BAC) level of .08% or above is guilty of a DUI (driving under the influence) or DWI (driving while intoxicated).</p>
<p>However, almost all states consider drivers under the age of 21 to be driving under the influence of alcohol if their BAC is at or greater than .01% or .02%, depending on the state.</p>
<div>
<h3><strong><a name="6F6C8866-DCA9-4BE0-9FB96D0D888B417B"></a>How can the police find out whether a driver is under the influence?</strong></h3>
<p>Police typically use three methods of determining whether a driver has had too much to be driving:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Observation.</strong> A police officer will pull you over if he notices that you are driving erratically &#8212; swerving, speeding, failing to stop, or even driving too slowly. Of course, you may have a good explanation for your driving (tiredness, for example), but an officer is unlikely to buy your story if he smells alcohol on your breath, or notices slurred words or unsteady movements.</li>
<li><strong>Sobriety tests.</strong> If an officer suspects that you are under the influence, he will probably ask you to get out of the car and perform a series of balance and speech tests, such as standing on one leg, walking a straight line heel-to-toe, or reciting a line of letters or numbers. The officer will look closely at your eyes, checking for pupil enlargement or constriction, which can be evidence of intoxication. If you fail these tests, the officer may arrest you or ask you to take a chemical test.</li>
<li><strong>Blood-alcohol level.</strong> The amount of alcohol in your body is understood by measuring the amount of alcohol in your blood. This measurement can be taken directly by drawing a sample of your blood, or it can be calculated by applying a mathematical formula to the amount of alcohol in your breath or urine. Some states give you a choice of whether to take a breath, blood, or urine test &#8212; others do not. If you test at or above .08 % blood-alcohol concentration, you are presumed to be driving under the influence unless you can convince a judge or jury that your judgment was not impaired and you were not driving dangerously. Defense attorneys often question the validity of the conversion formula when driver&#8217;s alcohol levels are based on breath or urine tests.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<h3><strong><a name="91F61405-C8AC-4708-B83FF3E229CAD3B3"></a>Do I have to take a blood, breath, or urine test if asked to do so by the police?</strong></h3>
<p>You may refuse to take a chemical test (blood, breath, or urine), but almost every state has a so-called &#8220;implied consent&#8221; law, and, under such laws, a refusal can result in suspension of your driver&#8217;s license from anywhere between three to 12 months. (This is true even if you&#8217;re eventually found not guilty of the current drunk driving charge.) Further, if your drunk driving case goes to trial, the prosecutor can tell the jury that you wouldn&#8217;t take the test, which may lead the jury members to conclude that you refused because you were, in fact, drunk or stoned.</p>
</div>
<div>
<h3><strong><a name="A3627A01-9636-4B31-B3BFABA6E78D4934"></a>If I&#8217;m stopping for driving under the influence, am I entitled to talk to an attorney before I decide which chemical test to take?</strong></h3>
<p>The answer depends on where you live. In California, for example, you don&#8217;t have the right to speak with an attorney first. But some states, including Arizona, allow you to talk to your lawyer before you take a chemical test.</p>
