Nicholas Lavoie 10/26/13 Criminology NYC Bikers vs. Range Rover (Group 2) On September 29, 2013, on New York City's Henry Hudson Parkway, a sport utility vehicle (SUV) driven by motorist Alexian Lien was involved in a vehicular accident with motorcyclist Christopher Cruz. A fifty-block (two-and-a-half-mile) chase by Cruz's companions ensued. Motorcyclist Christopher Cruz was "brake-checking" Lien, which means intentionally braking and slowing to taunt Lien. After Cruz and the others brought Lien to a stop in the middle of the West Side Highway, Lien's Range Rover was surrounded by a group of 20 to 30 motorcycles.
For example, the number of people in five seated car, the amount of alcohol consumed, party that students attended before the accident, and the students actions in the car. When asked who’s to blame the parents points fingers at everyone, but do we know who to blame? When the question came whom to blame? The parents of the victims blamed on Tyson Baxter, a driver of vehicle at the time of incident. Behind the wheel of his Chevrolet Blazer, he was over the legal limit of alcohol consumption.
Especially around where we live, people have high self-esteem and they think they know everything because they got money and drive nice cars, which they never worked for it so they wouldn’t understand the value of the car. Most traffic accidents are caused by dangerous driving habits attained and carried out by drivers such as speed, using cellphone. Thousands of people are killed in car accidents every year. The main reason that most people are killed in car accidents each year is because most people have very bad driving habits, and speeding is one of the most dangerous drivers habit, it causes many accidents that take a love one’s life and destroy families’ every day. In the United States of America approximately 32,000 people die each year from speeding in an automobile.
Terry also reaches to eject the CD, which Jane, in the back seat has asked for, so she can take it with her. Shaun yells “ Watch out!” Terry looks up and sees that a student walking their bike is emerging from in front of the car with the turn signal heading toward campus. Terry slams on the brakes and swerves right to avoid the student. After the Suzuki hits and runs up the curb, the vehicle rolls over. The car misses the student but slides and crashes into the pole for the traffic signal.
One morning I explained to Travis that drivers always have to stop for school buses when the stop sign is out, regardless of which direction they are heading. At that moment another car drove right by, and did not stop for the school bus that had its stop sign out. Another time, Travis had to come to a stop at an intersection when he noticed a car coming from the opposite direction not slowing down for the red light. That car ran the red light, and almost caused an accident. Luckily, the other driver was paying attention to the speeding motorist running the red light, and was able to avoid hitting the car.
“Holy crap I am so getting a ticket.” “Is there a reason why you were driving so fast?” He then asked me. “Well”, I replied, “To be honest I was trying to get here to help the guys load all our gear and quads, so they didn’t have to do it by themselves. Also, I am so used to driving the truck with the speedometer being off that I didn’t think much of it driving the car. That’s my fault though for not paying attention, I apologize.” He gave me a foolish look like what a stupid blonde, then he looked at Dallas. “She’s telling the truth, the truck is off.” Dallas piped up.
I believe having cars in high school is very pointless. For the most part students would only need to drive to school, and then back home, and that’s why schools provide bus transportation. So what’s the need for students to drive to school? “300,000 motor vehicle crashes result in injuries for the age group 15-18 per year”. The amount of lives that can be saved by raising the driving age to 18 would be very large.
USE OF FORCE Laura Milligan August 25, 2007 Victor Harris, ignoring the blue lights and siren of the officer trying to stop him for speeding, led officers on six-minute chase speeds exceeding 85 miles per hour on two-lane roads. When Harris turned into a shopping center, officers positioned their cars in an attempt to block him. He collided with Deputy Scott’s vehicle before escaping. Followed by, Deputy Scott, now the lead car in the pursuit, requested and received permission to use a precision intervention technique (PIT) maneuver to stop Harris. However, because the speed was so great, Deputy Scott instead decided to hit Harris’s car with his front “push” bumper.
Have you ever had to learn the hard way? I’ve learned the hard way many times, but the hot summer of 2012 I really did learn the hard way! My parents finally gained trust in me driving and decided it was time to get me a car. I got my car at the end of my freshman year but couldn’t drive it until my sophomore year. My parents got me the car I have always wanted; a maroon mustang with black rims and blacked out lights.
The average Joe is sitting in his Honda on Interstate 65 when his cell phone goes off. Of course, hearing the recognizable text message vibration or ringtone creates curiosity, so Joe thinks, “Maybe it is my friend telling me about a change of plans for tonight, or parents, or something is wrong?” Although traffic looks like it is going to be moving soon and knowing that it would only take a few seconds to respond, Joe does. Before he knows it, the Blazer in front of him stops too fast, causing the grill of Joe’s Honda to hit the back end of the Blazer. Texting behind the wheel is dangerous because it takes the driver’s eyes off the road and lowers the driver’s mental focus. Five seconds is the average time your eyes are off the road while texting.
