who plan to help, need to go on-line with the State Highway
Department, and just review the "rules of the road" so to speak.
We used to have to watch a video, but that is no longer
required. Now, you just need to read through the rules and
instructions, and we can deal with the rest ourselves. Just go
to:
http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/pages/rules/oars_700/oar_734/734_029.html

scroll down to the "Specific Requirements". The
