The law gives citizens too much freedom when it comes to using deadly force and just isn’t descriptive enough on the fact that the point of the law should be to defend yourself. It gives people the rights to shoot first and ask questions later, and many times its hard to prove or often not proven at all that the victim was threatening the defender in the first place. Deadly force should be used as a last resort; after all other options have been exhausted. This law has caused people to act in such ways where deadly force could have been avoided. The doctrine only requires one to believe or imagine they are in danger.
Distracted Driving: Technology has become an obsession among many Americans. Over the years cell phones have gone from a business necessity, to a personal necessity. As a result of cell phone dependence and the need for a person to always be accessible, Americans continuously endanger themselves and others by texting while driving. The Vermont texting while driving law is widely ignored because it is severely flawed. Texting while driving has been forbidden in Vermont since July 2010.
The teenage mind is not ready to take up on such a big responsibility of controlling a 2 ton metal machine. Although many may disagree that raising the age limit to obtain a license will not give teenagers the practice they need, it has been proven that the programs of Graduated Drivers licensing is an effective alternative way to give teenagers the ability to drive but with multiple restrictions then once they are 18 they are given the privilege to obtain a drivers license. The best way to prevent deaths amongst teens is to raise the age limit, and establish Graduated Drivers Licensing programs. (812 Words) Works Cited Gulli, Cathy. "'First, act like an air traffic controller': there's no such thing as a safe teen driver, so parents must step up, a book argues."
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.
Distracted driving is one of the biggest causes of most accidents in Florida. Because text messaging requires viral, manual, and cognitive attention from the driver, it is the most alarming distraction.

Florida needs to make this an issue. Not only are teens the problem, but adults, too. Yes, we need to learn to have some self-restraint, but if people aren’t informed of the dangers that distracted driving can bring, horrendous car accidents will continue to occur. The media needs to be used to benefit the people and it should be blasted everywhere that technology is not meant to be used while you’re behind the wheel. It’s time for Florida to act on this matter before it’s too
Though the board cannot enact regulations itself, its suggestions are taken serious by lawmakers. Many states have some sort of regulation dealing with cell phone use while driving, be it a ban on texting or the requirement of hands free equipment.

For example, most of these collisions that don’t end in death either in my brain injury, paralyzation and so on. Texting is one of the most dangerous things you can do on the road. I can almost guarantee you that without awareness of this issue these numbers will continue to rise.
