What are DOT Violations?

DOT violations, or Department of Transportation violations, refer to any violation of the regulations set forth by the DOT. These violations can occur in various areas, such as driver qualifications, vehicle maintenance, hours of service, and hazardous materials transportation. It is essential for commercial vehicle operators to understand and comply with these regulations to ensure safety on the roads.

Steps to Handle DOT Violations

First, it is important to address the violation promptly. This may involve paying fines, attending hearings, or providing documentation to dispute the violation.

Fictober Prompt 6: "Didn't we already have this conversation?"

Fandom: Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries (my first entry!)

Rating: G

Time:  Sometime after “Blood at the Wheel”

As Phryne exited out the front door of Wardlow, she heard voices from the street.

“Dottie....”

Phryne smiled, her still wet-red lipstick shifting slightly.  No matter; it would dry soon enough.  She felt the breeze coming off the St. Kilda foreshore. 

Dot patiently gazed upward at her favorite constable from her seat on the driver’s side of Phryne’s beloved car.  “Hugh, Miss Fisher wants me to know how to drive the Hispano in case of an emergency. Given our line of business --”

Hugh balked.  “‘Our’ line?”  He leaned on the passenger side door, arms spread apart so he could bend toward her. 

Dot gave him such a look that made Phyrne downright proud.  “Hugh.  Didn’t we already have this conversation?”

“Yes, but --”

“It’s part of my job, and you said you were fine with me working after we were married,” she primly reminded him, settling in behind the steering wheel.  “It’s part of the deal.”

Hugh hung his head for a moment, adequately chagrined.  Phryne slowed her approach, not wanting to intrude, not wanting to deprive the two of them the chance to talk through this.  Phryne didn’t believe in marriage for herself, but she would never wish ill-will on those who pursued the institution, least of all dear Dot.  

“...I was hoping I could teach you,” he said quietly, and Phryne could just imagine the puppy-dog eyes he was giving Dot.  “You know, how to operate it within the speed limits.  I doubt Miss Fisher’s tuition covers that.  I’ve seen her driving record.”

Dot smiled, her gaze tipping downward.  “Oh, Hugh.” 

Conflict resolved.  Phryne made her presence known.  “Worry not, Hugh, I’ve employed a greater authority on autos than myself.”  She turned her wrist toward the sun, checking her watch. 

Almost on cue, Phryne heard a horrific screech of brakes, then the rev of an engine.  A motorcycle rounded the corner and roared down the Esplanade at breakneck speed.  

Phryne almost laughed at the look of horror Hugh gave her.  Dot’s eyes were as big as dinner plates as she peered over the seatback at the racket.

With ease, the motorcyle weaved around the parked cars and nearly pulled in front of the Hispano.  The rider hopped to the sidewalk and hastily tugged off her helmet.

“Millie!” Dot exclaimed. 

Phryne couldn’t help but feel her heart twist slightly at how very similar Millie looked to Gertie, now that she too sported a slick of red lipstick and had taken to managing her wild hair with short crop.  At the same time, the proud stance and the confidence were all Aisla’s. 

Phryne’s train of thought was derailed and any attempt by Millie to answer Dot was drowned out by the roar of a black car.  It shot down the Esplanade and then pulled in front of the motorcycle.

The driver angrily got out of the car, fist clenched, mouth open to yell at the young reckless driver  --

“Oh, hello, Jack!  Millie’s just arrived to give Dot driving lessons!”  Phryne greeted him gaily. 

Hugh’s face faltered completely at that point, and Jack, clutching his standard-issue citation pad in hand, visibly suffered a brain stall at the fact that, somehow, he’d once again ended up on Miss Fisher’s doorstep.

Ayo that melody book might just be thing I’ve been looking for, a big fuck off encyclopaedia of rocks. Your settings won’t let me pm you directly but I wanted to ask what the ratio between between spirituality and geology stuff is since I’m very much interested in the latter. Wanna get my grubby little hands on some rock knowledge and be the coolest kid on the block.

Ah, yep, sorry, I don't do pm/chat.

Each entry has between 4 - 10+ paragraphs, and generally only the first paragraph has geology stuff. In that first paragraph are all the more objective facts -- chemical composition, hardness, colors the mineral can be found in. Some entries have the name of the person that discovered it, etymology behind the mineral's name, and other neat goodies like that.

Almost every entry has at least one full-color photo, even the ones that look like any other rock you'd find on the sidewalk or in the woods. For all the very questionable fluff that follows, it's obvious that Melody was a mineral nerd, and that's pretty awesome.

For the remaining sections, it's all completely unsourced spirituality of how the piece can enhance your life and heal your ills. The book is heavily skewed toward spirituality; the ultra New Age-y, chakra-balancing, aura-cleansing, Akashic-records-accessing spirituality that your eccentric great aunt that always smells like patchouli tends to drift towards. In rare entries, there may be a bit of folklore and history tidbits of "this mineral was used by X ancient people for Y purpose", but like everything else, [CITATION NEEDED].

As for getting your hands on it, that's. Probably going to be difficult for everyone.

The author's website is loveisintheearth dot org, and one of the pages states that Melody has since passed away. Clicking on the purchase link on the site takes you to an ebay page for "All God's Creatures Horse Sanctuary"; that's where I purchased my copy years back. Should any remaining copies be sold by the family/organization, that's likely where they'll be. The hardcover price was $99. There are a few resellers on Amazon offering it for $450+. The abridged brick was bought on Amazon for ~$30, and is now being resold for $100+. (The abridged brick has no photos and is not worth it)

If it helps you or anyone else find a copy, the ISBN is 978-0-9628190-6-3

As of today, I haven't found a pirated copy anywhere. Since it's extremely unlikely this book will get a third printing and is in danger of being lost, if I had both time and a scanner, I'd do it myself. Since I'm not getting one any time soon, requests from the Giant Purple Brick are always open
