A Guide to Search Results for "Department of Motor Vehicles CA"
The search term "Department of Motor Vehicles ca" is a more or less unequivocal reference to the State of California's Department of Motor Vehicles, which is the state agency responsible for the licensing of drivers and vehicles in California, for the enforcement of administrative regulations related to those responsibilities, and for conducting hearings related to suspension of driving privileges arising from those administrative regulations, particularly hearings arising from arrests for drunk driving. Notwithstanding the more or less unequivocal nature of the search query Department of Motor Vehicles CA, there is a great deal of noise found in search results for this query because certain Web sites have a great deal of relevance to the keyword California but make only passing references to the keyword DMV.
