These p-plate laws are affective in reducing accidents on the road, because they reduce p-plate drivers to a low speed as well as slow cars. Peer pressure is another important factor which can cause accidents on the road. The current laws help to reduce peer pressure, by not allowing p-plate drivers under the age of 25 no more than one passenger at a time under the age of 21 between the hours of 11pm and 5am. This p-plate law helps in reducing peer pressure related accidents, because it stops overcrowded cars and distractions from friends, which allows the driver to focus only on the road. Lastly, Drivers safety is an important issue within the current p-plate
The majority of accidents are caused by driver error and what if that could be diminished if the cars that we drive, drive themselves? With the modern technologies emerging, car industries begin to develop driverless cars. Comparing to a standard vehicle, driverless cars now have the technology to help drivers stay in their lane, avoid collisions. They have become highly advanced over the years. The point of a driverless car is safety, but there are plenty of people who guess that self-driving cars are dangerous.
Their high crash rates per 100,000 miles driven are matched only by drivers age 85+ (Janke, Masten, McKenzie, Gebers, & Kelsey, 2003). The over involvement of teenagers in crashes is not unique to California; it is a problem nationwide and worldwide (Twisk, 1996; Williams, 1996). In fact, traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers across the United States (Foss & Goodwin, 2003; Jonah, 1986; Mayhew & Simpson, 1999; Shope & Molnar, 2003). High teen crash risk is due to a number of factors, including an obvious fundamental lack of driving skill. However, contrary to what one might think, the evidence suggests that poor vehicle control skills account for only 10% of novice driver crashes; the remaining 90% is accounted for by factors such as inexperience, immaturity, inaccurate risk perception, overestimation of driving skills, and risk taking (Edwards, 2001).
I no longer get road rage, because I simply don’t care whether other drivers are going slow or cutting me off. 5. Simplify your life. This is related to the one above, but expanded. In addition to saving your stress levels, driving slower can reduce many other complications as well — the
Gardner’s ideas are too drastic and I believe he didn’t have enough support in his argument that his plans would actually decrease the murders in gang violence. To say that his thoughts on drugs are the missing piece to gang-violence; I agree with him one-hundred percent. Yet, to pinpoint on drugs as the only reason viciousness and violence happens in gangs, is almost too good to be true. Dan may as well fly off to Never-Never land, because those dreams aren’t ever coming true. First off, I would like to thank Gardner for his enlightening point of view, of how gang violence is heavily influenced by the whole drug trade and the black market that associates itself with it.
Some examples would be public transit. Only 50% to 75% of operating cost are covered by public transit fares, an increase in transit fares would only be efficient and equal if automobile users paid a charge reflecting their social cost. What might reduce automobile use and encourage public transit use is policy changes such as higher municipal parking fees and licensing. Police services are mostly funded from general local revenues; to increase the policing cost they could enforce fines on those who fail to lock their cars, residential, commercial, or industrial buildings which encourage criminal behaviour. If libraries imposed a user charge per visit they could generate more money but this can’t be done because of the Public Library Act.
Other than the fact that this movement would ultimately cause famine, it would also cause harm to the environment. Some people believe that eating local would lower the carbon footprint. Pelletier explains, however, that this notion is only partly true. The amount of pollution caused by trading goods is due to the type of transportation being used. Water transport has less environmental impact than transportation by train and even less than transportation by road.
There for cutting down on the consumption of fuel and less traffic jams. If you cut down on how much fuel is being used and how many highways are being built just to accommodate these vehicles you’re making a bigger disaster than most people think to the environment. Owen makes these ideas clear that less space and more transit means less energy and fuel. He realizes that even though many find the idea of New York actually being a green city ridiculous that in many cases it is very true. The living space is scarce but less energy is being consumed and wasted, and the transit not only lowers traffic but places less fuel in the atmosphere than what is really
If I could create a new law it would be no texting or calling while driving. Texting while driving can be very dangerous, and has already resulted in the deaths and injuries of countless numbers of drivers. Calling while driving has also had many of the same results as texting while driving which is why I think that should not be allowed as well. This new law should be passed because drivers will be less distracted, it could save many lives, and it would be safer for everyone. Texting or calling while driving can be one of the most dangerous distractions, and the could both lead to death or injury.
Hello Mayor Buddy Dyer, I want to discuss some very important issues about the Bill of Rights to you. As we both know that the individual rights are not absolute and that citizens have limited rights which aren’t necessarily a bad thing. Being that individual rights are not absolute this protects all of our citizens from dangerous activities. If people had the right to choose what law to follow and ignore this world would have been destroyed years ago. For example, what if people chose not to stop for a red light; wouldn’t there be many car accidents and things more tragic?
