Bay Area father suggests surprising place for quiet driving lessons: Roadshow

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 04:22:24 GMT

Q: I taught my daughter to drive by going to a nearby cemetery. There are almost no other active cars there, and it is a good place to practice stops and starts, parking, backing up, tight turns, etc. Besides, it is highly unlikely you’re going to injure anyone, and no one complains about the noise.Norman Smith, Daly CityA: It certainly would have been a quiet place to learn to drive.Q: My husband, who is 90, has vision and balance problems. He recently renewed his driver’s license. He passed the written test, but when he was taking the visual part, he was struggling a bit, and the employee simply said it was OK and moved him along. When it came to the driving test, he also was excused from taking it.I was counting on the DMV to screen older people more closely, not less so.

Why the independent Oakland Police Commission may be coming apart at the seams

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 04:22:24 GMT

With the chair’s ouster, and her lawsuit, new questions surround the commission at a crucial moment when it is leading the search for final candidates to replace former Chief LeRonne Armstrong, who was fired in February.The commission’s chair, Tyfahra Milele, likely will soon be out of her job after receiving zero votes late last week from a nine-member city panel that selects commissioners and decides whether to reappoint existing one...
