Along with the development of the rapidly modernized society, the impact of automobiles on American people has become immense. Hardly any American families live without a car, and most teenagers know how to drive at the age of 16 as soon as they got legal permission. Cars, vans, light trucks, SUVs and motorcycles since early time have played such an important role in the US that it is hard to imagine the American life without them. I. Reasons of automobile dependence Generally speaking, there are four main reasons for this situation.
Also For example, fords motors can with stand higher performance modifications, and high rpms. Due to the high quality of parts used by ford motor company in the assembly processes. Another point that makes ford better then Chevy is there frames wither there unibody or frame rails with sub frames can with stand high torque, and more power. I have a souped up for truck, and it has close to 600 horsepower with a blower. I took it to the drag strip not too long ago, and there was no movement in the stock frame.
Unit 1 Paradigm Shift GS1140 Problem Solving Theory Unit 1 Research Paper 1: Paradigm Shift How will new Automobile Technology will affect us ITT Tech Student Abstract Over ten years ago the only fancy gadget cars had was the AM/FM CD player radio. Nowadays having all sorts of gadgets to achieve worldwide online connectivity seems to be the nowadays selling point. Technology was not the selling point back then because the drive train, engine and transmission were more important. Safety was not a main concern, just having good enough brakes was sufficient for most drivers. Car safety devices and sensors are now all interconnected in a network within the car, multiple air bags system, better restraining seat belts systems, rear view camera, wireless communications and proximity sensors, just to name a few of the integrated standard technologies that most cars will include.
People age differently. There are a lot of people out there who are older then 60, or even 70 that have not lost any vision or hearing and can adapt to today’s driving. It would be unfair to say that every senior citizen is bad at driving, or will be the cause of a car accident, but statistics show that seniors are responsible for much more accidents then their younger counterpart, drivers 75 and older have a 37% higher crash rate then younger drivers (Rosenfield, par 4). This doesn’t mean that every senior will be involved in an accident, but it does show
The current P-plate laws are extremely affective in reducing accidents on the road.This is because they deal with many of the dangers p-plate drivers face while driving, including distractions, driving speed, peer pressure and driver safety. To begin with, the current p-plate laws are affective in reducing accidents while driving because they deal with the important issue of distractions. An example of a distraction that is dealt with by the current p-plate laws is mobile phones. Mobile phones cannot be used by p-plate drivers when driving or while the car is moving or stopped but not parked. This helps to stop accidents because it removes distractions from a p-plate driver so they can focus solely on driving.
It asks if a total ban is the answer. Just recently the National Transportation Safety Board is now calling for a complete ban of use of cellular devices by all drivers including hands-free devices. The National Transportation Safety Board is the federal agency promotes traffic safety and investigates accidents. They say that drivers face a serious risk while talking and driving even if you do not need to remove your hands from the stirring wheel. In fact, the likelihood that the driver will get into an automobile accident is just the same as someone who has a blood alcohol level of .08 percent, which is when a person is legally intoxicated.
“Shall endow chariots with incredible speed, without the aid of any animal,” David Goewey was talking about SUV’s in a sense, but this relates to the Ford Mustang too. In the early 60’s muscle cars were huge with younger people (Goewey 147). Chevy and Dodge already had their muscle cars and theirs were big with this generation even the Pontiac Firebird was accepted to the muscle cars standards. But Ford was the only one without any type of muscle cars, this was when John Najjar pitched his idea of a car different than any other made, it was wild, free, fast, wicked. Ford’s Mustang first model was in 1964; it was revolutionary to the car world.
When he was younger he planned on creating something for the rich as well for common man that would involve engines. He created the Ford Model T, which was affordable for the poor, and continued to create Model A and other modeled cars (Joans 2010). By the end of World War I half of Americans owned the model T car. The affordable cars like those Ford produced transformed America (Roak et al., 2011). Ford created the automobile industry, which employed thousands of workers and inspired new industries as well (Heritage, 2010).The new industries included but were not limited to: gas stations, mechanics, fast food restaurants drive-ins (pig stands) and motels (A&E, 2006).
The problem became serious one when a huge number of Californians decided to purchase those vehicles and began carelessly driving around the state without the worry how they will affect the environment or the demand for oil. Their actions were not only wasting a lot of fuel; they were also polluting the environment as well as pushing the gasoline prices
Persuasive Essay Janelle Logemann College Writing Period 7 1-23-12 The United States Department of Transportation estimates that two thirds of fatalities are at least partially caused by aggressive driving. The speed limits should not be changed on the highways and interstates because the faster people are allowed to drive, the more reckless they may become. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety reviewed insurance claims, police reports, and newspapers from 16 cities revealing 10,037 incidents of aggressive driving between 1990 and 1996, resulting in 218 deaths and more than 12,610 injures. In Illinois approximately 32 percent of all fatal crashes are speed-related. As the number of vehicles operating at higher speeds on 65 mph interstates is increased it results in a chance of collisions due to increased speed variance and greater risk of fatality resulting from higher crash impact speeds.
